in the last few minutes... it's been announced that the uk's third largest steel maker, liberty, has announced plans to re open its rotherham steel plant. the company says the large majority of its one thousand workers who have been on furlough, will return when operations restart later this month. our business correspondent is here. this sounds like excellent news. it is really good news for the workers in rotherham who have been waiting a long time for this, but it might be confusing for viewers because we have been talking for weeks now about what difficulties the steel industry is in with gas prices four times what they were at the start of the year. speaking to liberty today, they said there is no doubt, it is a difficult time for the industry, gas prices are very high, but they say demand for steel is still very strong and they believe that if they can keep going through this really difficult time that they will emerge stronger. there is an added sort of different thing about this plant as well, it supplies another one of their businesses that they are trying to sell at the moment and the hope is, if they can keep that going, if they can keep the business going, if they can keep the business going, it shows viability for a potential buyer.— going, it shows viability for a potential buyer. they have had financial issues _ potential buyer. they have had financial issues though. - potential buyer. they have had financial issues though. yes, i potential buyer. they have had | financial issues though. yes, in potential buyer. they have had - financial issues though. yes, in the ast, the financial issues though. yes, in the past. they were — financial issues though. yes, in the past, they were linked _ financial issues though. yes, in the past, they were linked to _ financial issues though. yes, in the past, they were linked to green - past, they were linked to green cell, the company the finance company that has gone under, but the hope is, if they keep going, they may well find a backer in months or years that would be willing to take the business on. and all is said to me earlier, the owner of the business has got a reputation for pulling rabbits out of hats. liberty like other businesses _ pulling rabbits out of hats. liberty like other businesses are - pulling rabbits out of hats. liberty like other businesses are now- pulling rabbits out of hats. liberty i like other businesses are now going to be pushing the government for support. to be pushing the government for su ort. ., , to be pushing the government for su-nort. ., , , support. that is absolutely right, -ushina support. that is absolutely right, pushing for _ support. that is absolutely right, pushing for support _ support. that is absolutely right, pushing for support and - support. that is absolutely right, pushing for support and looking i pushing for support and looking ahead to the climate conference that is coming up to see what governments around the world are going to do when it comes to steel which is clearly very fossil fuel intensive industry and they will be looking to see what the mood music is coming out of that in order to think about the viability of the plant going forward. ., ,., ., , , forward. how important is the steel indust in forward. how important is the steel industry in the _ forward. how important is the steel industry in the country _ forward. how important is the steel industry in the country these - forward. how important is the steel industry in the country these days?

there are people out there, people listening to this programme who say, look, if we can buy steel cheaper from china, why would we want to do that? i can understand that. there is no free market in steel, every government around the world rightly subsidises its steel sector because it underplays the foundations of the economy and prices rocket up, we see a blockage in the suez canal or an energy constrained like now, that is the time for governments to intervene. if we don't do that, we risk coming out of this without a steel sector and with fundamental damage done and where does that leave us as a modern economy? irate leave us as a modern economy? we have seen how fragile supply chains can be over the last 18 months. chris mcdonald, thank you very much forjoining us. the news that liberty is to reopen its rotherham plant comes amid challenges for heavy industries that are intensive users of energy. the business secretary is looking at whether government support is enough. they have warned they may have to stop production. kwasi kwarteng said he was working on possible support, but the treasury said no talks have taken place. here is katie prescott again. taken place. here is katie prescott aaain. , ., taken place. here is katie prescott aaain. ,., . . ,, again. cooking up a classic sunday brunch for punters, but _ again. cooking up a classic sunday brunch for punters, but plating - again. cooking up a classic sunday brunch for punters, but plating up| brunch for punters, but plating up on this cafe is getting more expensive. 1&5 on this cafe is getting more exuensive-_ on this cafe is getting more exensive. a , , , , expensive. as energy bills rise, they cannot _ expensive. as energy bills rise, they cannot just _ expensive. as energy bills rise, they cannot just turn _ expensive. as energy bills rise, they cannot just turn off - expensive. as energy bills rise, they cannotjust turn off the - expensive. as energy bills rise, i they cannotjust turn off the coffee machine. i they cannot “ust turn off the coffee machine. ., they cannot “ust turn off the coffee machine. . ., ., machine. i am worried, that in the lona machine. i am worried, that in the long term — machine. i am worried, that in the long term prices — machine. i am worried, that in the long term prices will _ machine. i am worried, that in the long term prices will change - machine. i am worried, that in the long term prices will change and l long term prices will change and there will be this idea that because we have dealt with the current situation, it will normalise the idea it is ok to keep prices the same. we might have to change our prices in the future if the prices do not come down which could have a knock—on effect on the people who might come in. the knock-on effect on the people who might come in-_ might come in. the business secretary _ might come in. the business secretary this _ might come in. the business secretary this morning - might come in. the businessj secretary this morning would might come in. the business - secretary this morning would not commit to extra support with energy bills for companies like this. i think it is a critical situation, clearly, i am speaking to industries that have said all the time and high gas prices, they quadrupled their share, they are making an impact and thatis share, they are making an impact and that is why, as you say, speaking to people, listening and trying to work out a way forward.— out a way forward. those industries that use a lot _ out a way forward. those industries that use a lot of— out a way forward. those industries that use a lot of energy _ out a way forward. those industries that use a lot of energy for - that use a lot of energy for manufacturing say the time for working out a way forward has long gone. working out a way forward has long one. working out a way forward has long .one, , ., ., working out a way forward has long one. , ., ., ,. gone. if the situation is critical, and i gone. if the situation is critical, and i know _ gone. if the situation is critical, and i know it — gone. if the situation is critical, and i know it is, _ gone. if the situation is critical, and i know it is, why _ gone. if the situation is critical, and i know it is, why is - gone. if the situation is critical, - and i know it is, why is government not tackling it now to address this problem or energy intensive sectors like the steel industry, because without that help, now, today, in the next week or so, we are going to say a significant and permanent damage to the uk steel sector. here is how dramatic _ damage to the uk steel sector. here is how dramatic price _ damage to the uk steel sector. here is how dramatic price spikes have been over the last year. households are protected by the energy price cap which kicks in at 65p, but prices now are almost four times that. companies would like something similar in place in order to protect them from the worst of global price spikes. but will it happen?

england was the first nation in europe to fully unlock injuly. other countries have followed but have taken a more cautious approach. after a summer of increased human contact, infections have increased. as this graph shows, the uk has one of the highest covid rates in europe, well above that of france or germany. but if you look at the daily covid deaths, while the uk is still higher, a real concern for health leaders, the gap between the countries shrinks. this is an example of the power of the vaccination programme, providing vital protection to those most at risk. how will we cope this winter? the government hopes vaccines will protect us this winter, with more than 2 million booster jabs administered in england alone. to protect schoolchildren where infections are highest, covid vaccines are being rolled out to over 12s, while the nasalflu jab is available to under 16s. issues obtaining consent have caused delays, potentially to the end of november. concerned about health risks and disruption to education, experts say other measures should be brought in. we know that ventilation is highly effective if you put an air filter in classrooms that can reduce by about 30 times the amount of virus particles circulating. we know that masks work. in many other countries, children from the age of six have to wear masks when they are in schools. the nhs has much less capacity compared to other countries, so it's feared even a small surge in demand could cause real problems. but so much is still unknown, with this stage of the pandemic described as one of the most difficult times to predict what will come next. anna collinson, bbc news. in the latest official figures on coronavirus 34,574 new infections were recorded in the latest 2a hour period. that means on average there were more than 37 thousand new cases per day. in the last week. as of thursday, there were more than 6 and a half thousand people in uk hospitals with coronavirus. another 38 deaths have been recorded of people who died within 28 days of a positive test result. on average we've had 112 deaths a day in the past week. on vaccinations 85.5% of the population aged 12 or over, have had their first dose of a vaccine, and 78.5% have been double jabbed. the headlines on bbc news... liberty announces plans to open its plant in rotherham with furloughed workers returning to operations later this month. the business secretary admits that businesses are facing a critical situation as energy costs reach record highs but he is not permitted to providing any extra support. senior medical figures are urging people eligible forflu jabs to take figures are urging people eligible for flu jabs to take the offer up with fears that increase levels of the virus will circulate alongside covid-19 this the virus will circulate alongside covid—19 this winter. four people have been killed after a car crash in kent. those who died were aged 18, 19, 25 and 44 years old. a 15 year old boy, who was also a passenger, was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. the crash happened in the villlage of headcorn shortly before 1am this morning. divisions between the eu and the uk over the northern ireland protocol look set to come to a head again this week, with the government trying to make significant changes to what was agreed under the brexit deal. the eu is also due to put its own proposals forward. jess sargent is senior researcher on brexit, devolution and the ni protocol at the institute for government. at the moment any goods going between britain and northern ireland is subject to certain checks and paperwork although those are not been fully implemented at the moment, because of the grace period. what the uk wants in future is to ensure that only goods that are going from great britain into northern ireland and then to the eu are then subject to those cheques. they have put forward these proposals injuly, the european commission is expected to respond this week with its counterproposals in some of those areas, after which i think there will be a period of quite intense negotiations to see if the two sides can in an agreed way forward. lord frost, who negotiates on behalf of the british government says not having northern ireland subject to the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice is a red line for the uk. how sympathetic is the eu likely to be of disposing of that? i think the eu is unlikely to be very receptive to changes of that particular aspect of the protocol, i think they have seen the principle of where eu law is being applied, as it is in northern ireland under the protocol, then the european institution should be responsible for policing that. i think one of the interesting things is that after lord frost's announcement at the end of thejurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, would be a red line, several business groups in northern ireland came forward and said that this was never an issue that they had raised, that was a particular problem for them in northern ireland or was causing problems in the northern ireland economy, so i think, unlike some of the trade —related issues, this perhaps is more down to the fact that the uk government is uncomfortable with the eu institutions having jurisdiction in the uk at all, rather than specific problems that have been identified with the operation of the protocol and its impact on northern ireland. at the moment, we have that border in the irish sea, which unionists in northern ireland say cuts off, effectively, in a constitutional fashion, in their view, northern ireland from the rest of the uk, the idea was suggested some time ago that the problems of pushing goods from the republic of ireland into northern ireland could be resolved with technology. how far away are we from that? repeatedly, we seem to come back of this issue of whether the technology is capable of managing that border and certainly there are not the solution is ready on the shelf that could be implemented tomorrow, which is part of the reason why this has become so difficult. there are certain areas that could be perhaps digitised in some areas and the uk government is looking to do that, but other aspects, like inspecting livestock or other kind of products of animal origin, which are very important to the eu, it is difficult to see how this can be done virtually or in another way. now, there might be solutions going forward, but one of the things the eu has repeatedly said is that the uk government has not put forward those detailed technical proposals, how things could work differently and lord frost has said that he would be publishing more details on the uk proposals and it is possible we might see more of that, but i think fundamentally i am not sure technology is going to solve all the problems, there needs to be a political compromise on both the eu and the uk's red lines. the uk is one of the most nature depleted places on the planet. that's according to a new biodiversity study from the natural history museum which looked at plant and animal life around the world and placed the uk well below the global average. researchers said there was little room for nature when land has been built on or used for farming. olivia richwold reports. just outside the busy city of york is the askham bog, created by a retreating glacier 15,000 years ago. it's brimming with biodiversity. that's the name for all living things and how they fit together. but the uk is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. a new report says thatjust 53% of our biodiversity is left — that is compared to a global average of 75%. that matters because biodiversity affects the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. biodiversity is more than something that is beautiful to look at and we love. it is also what provides us with so many other basic needs. it is the foundation of our society. we have seen recently how disruptive it can be when supply chains break down. nature is at the base of our supply chains. the uk's lack of biodiversity is linked to the industrial revolution. intensive farming also plays its part. so what more can be done to protect special places like this? last year, the secretary of state turned down a plan to build 500 homes next door to this nature reserve. it is an extraordinary place, it holds between five and 10% of all the species in britain, and yet if we don't do anything at all we will lose more species than we already have from a place like this. if we get it right, if we allow the wider countryside to become nature which again, this is the place from which the surrounding land will be colonised, and that is true of all the other nature reserves across the country. tomorrow a week—long un biodiversity conference will begin virtually, hosted by china. negotiators will thrash out plans for protecting nature over the next ten years. a decade ago, 20 targets were set, but none of them were met. scientists say this is our best chance for a sustainable future. olivia richwold, bbc news, near york. the conservationist and tv presenter chris packham, says a suspected arson attack outside his home won't stop him from campaigning against hunting and animal cruelty. he said two masked men set fire to a vehicle at his gate in the new forest on friday morning causing extensive damage. i will, of course, just carry on because i have no choice. i cannot and will not let your intimidation sway me from my course. and that's why i don't really understand why you would do it. tyson fury knocked out deontay wilder in the final round of the trilogy fight in las vegas. he has extended his _ trilogy fight in las vegas. he has extended his unbeaten _ trilogy fight in las vegas. he has i extended his unbeaten professional record — back a professional record to 32 fights. i have been speaking to 32 fights. i have been speaking to jamie moore who told me tyson fury had won conclusively and deservedly. fury had won conclusively and deservedly-— fury had won conclusively and deservedl . ~ , ., deservedly. absolutely loved it. it is one of those _ deservedly. absolutely loved it. it is one of those fights _ deservedly. absolutely loved it. it is one of those fights were - is one of those fights were sometimes, on the big stage, sometimes, on the big stage, sometimes it can be an anti—climax, the fight itself, but it more than lived up to expectations. how clear victory was it really?
