a week on sunday allowing travellers returning to england to take private lateral flow tests, instead of more expensive pcr tests. victims of alleged domestic abuse are seeing their cases dropped at a rapidly increasing rate, because prosecutors ran out of time to bring charges. and... adele is back — herfirst new music for six years, released at midnight. hello. the queen has appeared to suggest she's irritated by a lack of action in tackling the climate crisis. her remarks were picked up in clips of a conversation filmed on a phone at the opening of the welsh parliament the senedd in cardiff and reported in this morning's daily mail. the queen was talking to the duchess of cornwall and the parliament's presiding officer, and seemed to be referring to the forthcoming cop26 climate conference. she can be heard saying she does not know who is coming to the event, which will begin in glasgow at the end of this month. let's take a look at the two clips. the queen's remarks comes after both prince charles and prince william spoke to the bbc earlier this week about the forthcoming cop26 summit and the urgency in addressing the climate change crisis. the narrative has changed. you know, and lots of the things you have said are now mainstream. it's taken far too long. the world leaders are gathering in glasgow to talk about the kind of issues that you were. yes, but theyjust talk, . and the problem is to get action on the ground, _ which is what i've been trying to do for the last 40 years! we, if we're not careful, we're robbing from, you know, our children's future with what we do now. children love being outdoors, they love getting muddy, they love playing and chasing and playing sport and all that stuff, and i think they have a truer appreciation of what we're going to miss and what we're letting down than, actually, many of the adults. and that's where, you know, the disconnect�*s happening — is that those adults in positions of responsibility are not channelling their inner child. we can't have more clever speak, clever words, but not enough action. prince william and earlier on, prince william and earlier on, prince charles. let's speak now with our royal correspondent, sean coughlan. the queen saying effectively what prince charles and prince william already said earlier this week and important to stress it was a private conversation. it

and it is a world in which everybody has a camera in their pocket, everybody has the capacity to share a couple of words with the rest of the world in a few seconds. also, i suppose, because the queen doesn't say much about such issues in public. when people do hear what she thinks, there is a huge amount of attention paid to them so perhaps less is more. so these words will reverberate around the

royal correspondent. the government is planning to allow foreign lorry drivers to make more deliveries in the uk, to try to ease the pressure on supply chains. overseas drivers will now be able to make unlimited trips within a fortnight. the transport secretary, grant shapps, said it was a "common—sense measure" and would increase the number of lorry drivers on the road by several thousand. here's our political correspondentjonathan blake. thousands of extra visas have been offered to hgv drivers from abroad, in an attempt to ease pressure on supply chains in the uk. but only a fraction of them have been issued. so now, the government's going further, in a move it hopes will allow thousands of extra deliveries per month. drivers from the eu are normally restricted to making two deliveries within seven days, but those rules will be relaxed to allow unlimited trips within a fortnight. having some additional capacity, right now, i think everybody agrees is a good idea. this is a quick way of doing it. it doesn't require visas to do. people are already here. so, it'sjust a common—sense measure at these times. it's hoped food supply chains will be boosted by the move, with more goods being moved at a time of high demand. but the haulage industry is worried that while it might take the pressure off in the run—up to christmas, uk firms could lose out to cheaper eu rivals. pig farming is another sector that's been struggling, with thousands of healthy animals slaughtered without being processed for meat. but there's relief at the government's move to allow 800 foreign butchers into the uk and provide more cold storage. we needed butchers in these processing plants 12 weeks ago now. we, as farmers, should never have been put in this position. this really wasn't our problem. this was a processing problem, and we've been left to deal with the whole emotional and financial issues. farmers say the action is long overdue, but ministers deny acting too late. the government insists in the long—term, uk wages and working standards will need to rise to these challenges. but for now, they've been left with no choice but to rely on foreign labour. jonathan blake, bbc news. iain watson, our political correspondent, is at westminster. let's pick up on that point. because these are effectively short—term measures, but the long term and mission of the government is to raise wages in this country to reduce the reliance on foreign workers. . , reduce the reliance on foreign workers. ., , ., , workers. that is right, that is the vision set out _ workers. that is

i vision set out by the prime minister just last week at the conservative party conference, high wage, high skill economy. but the government say they are in a bit of a transition period getting from a to b, from low skills and low wages. it is high wages for many of course in the hgv sector at the moment because of a labour shortage. but at the moment, the government proposes a consultation, another week before they decide definitely to go ahead with relaxing the rules on foreign drivers and eu drivers and what they can do once they are here. but it looks as though they are determined to go ahead and the road haulage association says this means the government is doing the very opposite of what it was promising at its party conference last week. in effect, it is allowing bigger eu companies or companies which pay their drivers an awful lot less to come into the uk and carry out domestic deliveries, unlimited domestic deliveries, unlimited domestic deliveries, unlimited domestic deliveries, for two weeks, and they say that will undercut the current rise in wages for hgv drivers in this country. and they are also not convinced it will support out —— it will support —— it will sort out the supply issues before christmas. the government hope to relax it before christmas but they have to wait for the results of the consultation in the first place. the argument is at the moment if the government wants to see higher wages, perhaps they should continue currently allowing hgv drivers to see that rise in the wages and not try to bring in increased competition. what the government is insisting is because demand in the run—up to christmas is so great, then actually, the equivalent of three of 4000 more lorry drivers on the roads would be happening by relaxing the rules and the market can absorb that and wages would continue to rise in the hgv sector and more and more people are now applying forjobs sector and more and more people are now applying for jobs for sector and more and more people are now applying forjobs for training andindeed now applying forjobs for training and indeed for hgv tests, so the domestic supply will continue to increase in the longer term and a maximum six months on the relaxation of the rules. . ~ maximum six months on the relaxation of the rules-— of the rules. thank you very much, iain of the rules. thank you very much,

that store, the head of transportation to that store is given by ikea to a transport company from lithuania, the transport company from lithuania gets their drivers from the uk. these drivers are isolated in their trucks full several months, completely stripped of their rights. and basically, the uk government now says, these drivers are here anyway so let's allow these lithuanian suppliers to do two weeks unlimited transports in the uk. now, how to ruin the industry even more.- the uk. now, how to ruin the industry even more. what about the visas that have _ industry even more. what about

they really think that we welcome to the uk to solve a broken industry? and in fact, the driver shortage, it is equal in the whole of western europe. and the danger of this is, to not fundamentally fix these issues by letting those on the top of the supply chain take their responsibility, the risk is suppliers from eastern europe who are not in danger of the shortage of drivers because they recruit them from the far east, these companies solve the supply chain issues which makes the whole industry even more below the surface because this mechanism puts their transport suppliers out of competition. and who can raise transport standards, fair transport suppliers, who are paid their prices by multinational companies on top of the supply chain, and now what the government does come

processed by a lab in the west midlands. the uk health security agency says testing at the immensa health clinic in wolverhampton has been suspended following reports of people receiving negative pcr test results following a positive lateral flow test. it's thought those affected were tested between 8th september and 12th october. hugh pym joins me. what more do we know about this, this is quite alarming. we what more do we know about this, this is quite alarming.— what more do we know about this, this is quite alarming. we had heard about this for— this is quite alarming. we had heard about this for the _ this is quite alarming. we had heard about this for the last _ this is quite alarming. we had heard about this for the last couple - this is quite alarming. we had heard about this for the last couple of - about this for the last couple of weeks anecdotally from gps who reported they had patients getting in touch saying that they were unwelcome that they had all the symptoms, they tested positive on a lateral flow, symptoms, they tested positive on a lateralflow, then had gone to get the confirmatory pcr and it was negative. and gps were rather suspicious of this. it seems to be largely around the south west of england. then yesterday, west berkshire council came out and said that one of their testing sites, anyone who had been there since early october, up until the 12th, should get another test because there had been problems with processing pcr tests. to be clear, it is the laboratory in question, not the testing sites. so just in the last hour, we have heard from uk hsa, one of the bodies that replace public health england, that it is a laboratory in wolverhampton, a private laboratory, not a government run laboratory, and it has been suspended because 43,000 people have been given negative pcr results, which were incorrect. and they are in the south—west of england. it seems to have been about 10% of the overall amount that went through that. the reassurance to people is the testing system is still working, all tests will go to other labs. on the 8th of september, that goes back a little way, so who knew what and when? if you got infected in september and you got a false result on your pcr, the infection will almost certainly have worn off by now. so a certain number of those 43,000 will now be much better and don't have any symptoms. but some who were may be tested in the last week or so, where the results went to that lab, who will need to be contacted, and we are told that the contacted, and we are told that the contact tracing network is going to get in touch with people who need to redo their tests. but it does raise questions over how some of these labs are in. mil questions over how some of these labs are in-— labs are

from that particular site so our own public health team were looking into what was going on there. and yesterday, we heard there had been an issue and we heard there had been an issue and we took the decision that once we knew, we should let our communities know it. because we had to act quickly so that they could take their own decisions about the next steps that they might take as individuals. and yes, we are encouraging everybody to get retested. and they are able to do that at the showground because she seems to be resolved. it is with the lab are not the showground itself, so there is no reason why people can't go down to the newbury showground and get tested and we encourage everybody to do that. and encourage everybody to do that. and how many people do you think that would be? we

october, fully—vaccinated people will be able to use private lateral flow tests to prove their covid status, rather than relying on the more expensive pcr test. the transport secretary said it would make travel easier and simpler. lisa minot is the sun's travel editor. we have taught you many times during this pandemic. how much difference is this going to make to travellers, especially over the half term break? well, it is huge. this is going to save the average family of four about £200 on tests for a return trip back to the uk for this and it is going to be a really positive move for the industry and hopefully, it will encourage people to say, i can now book safe in the knowledge i am not going to be shelling out for expensive pcr tests. i5 am not going to be shelling out for

think if you look at the rest of europe, nowhere else in europe generally is having to ask people to take a test once you actually arrive in the country. so i think it deftly puts it in line with other european nations. and it is a really positive move. people have been really confused over the last few months as to which tests they had to win they had to take them. the removal of the predeparture had to take them. the removal of the predepa rtu re test had to take them. the removal of the predeparture test which we had to had to take to get back in the uk was another really positive step forward because for a lot of people, they wouldn't worry about going on holiday, what happens if i catch covid while i am abroad or do i have to quarantine abroad? it was yet another

tests from october the 22nd. and of course, you start taking them from october the 24th. so we have to make sure we are bucking the right type of lateral flow tests because there are still some

chance they will have before christmas to really get people in volume travelling and that is the way they are going to make money. the travel industry has a ways been a very low profit margin type of

cases involving allegations of domestic abuse in england and wales have been dropped over the past five years — because prosecutors ran out of time to bring charges, within the six—month time limit. figures obtained by bbc news also suggest that while more common assaults involving domestic violence are being reported, fewer cases are being brought to trial. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, has more. i didn't know, or understand, what i was going through. i genuinely believed it was my fault. i kept asking myself, what is it that i keep doing wrong that makes them behave like this? a year ago, erica started a campaign to support survivors of domestic abuse, something she says that's very personal. when there were the good days, i'd be like, ok, i've done something right. and then, when there was something going wrong, i'd say to myself, this is what i've done wrong, i'm being punished for my own mistakes. and getting out of that mindset is what led me to eventually leave this relationship. erica made a report of domestic abuse to the police, but was told no—one could be charged because too much time had passed. coming forward, for me, was one of the biggest things i've ever done in my life. to sit down and say to someone that doesn't know me that these are the things that happened to me. six months isn't enough time to even fathom that sort of experience. the current law allows six months between the time an alleged common assault takes place and someone being charged. the idea is to keepjustice moving in offences the system deems less serious. but campaigners say when it comes to domestic abuse, that's not long enough, because it can take years for victims to feel able to come forward, orfor police to build a case. in the past five years, in england and wales, there were almost 13,000 cases of common assault involving domestic abuse that were never charged, because that six—month time limit was breached. and while over that period, the number of these cases being reported went up, the number resulting in someone being charged went down. some want a change in the law — to allow more time for domestic abuse cases to get to court. i think this is another example of where the law, the criminaljustice system, simply doesn't get violence against women and girls. we need recognition from the government of how serious this is, how you've got so many domestic abuse survivors and victims just being timed out because the law is wrong and unfair. ministers have said before they will consider this issue, which the government says it takes seriously. in a statement, a spokesman said all allegations should be investigated and pursued vigorously through the courts, where possible. and they pointed out there's no time limit on reporting other crimes, such as bodily harm, or those that add up to coercive behaviour. meanwhile, police chiefs say that six—month limit only affects a small proportion of cases. but they say there is particular concern around those involving domestic abuse, and they're supporting the government in analysing the issue, to ensure victims achieve justice. i used to spend a lot of time to myselfjust to reflect, to calm down. erica says it's a case she will keep on making. using my story as my strength has been the biggest thing for me. to be able to tell my story with confidence, but using it as power to basically fight back against the law and hopefully change the law has been one of the most important things to me. alex forsyth reporting there. details of organisations offering information and support are available at bbc. co. uk/actionline. a murder investigation has been launched, after a teenage boy died in an assault in bristol yesterday evening. a witness told the bbc they saw three teenagers fighting in the lawrence hill area just before 6:30. avon and somerset police said the victim, who has not been identified, died at the scene after suffering "significant injuries". former us president bill clinton has been receiving hospital treatment in california, for a "non—covid related" infection. a spokesperson for the 75—year—old said he is "on the mend" and "in good spirits", after being admitted on tuesday. his doctors said he had received antibiotics and fluids and remained in hospital for "continuous monitoring". shoppers can spend up to £100 per transaction using their contactless card from today. however, retailers say it could take months before they ve updated their terminals to accept the new limit. there are also concerns about what the

will be like if you are out shopping. it is going to turn milder again this weekend after what has been a chilly start but that chilly weather is with us for the next 24 hours, frost in northern ireland and scotland and northern england but the mildest air within southern england and south wales where you had the sunshine yesterday, more cloud and rain, may be a show on the south coast but highs of 17. elsewhere, cooler than yesterday but a crisp autumn day, more cloud in the north and west of scotland, a couple of showers. overnight, chile, the greater chance of frost in scotland, northern and eastern england, maybe even wales but in the west, it turns milder to the end of the night at cloud moves northwards and eastwards. still chilly tomorrow for scotland and eastern england, many places dry, more cloud around with occasional sunshine. the sickest cloud in the far west across ireland and western scotland with mix of rain, temperatures are lifting and the milder air will push to all after some overnight rain on saturday night. hello, this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines... the queen has appeared to criticise world leaders for a lack of action on climate change, saying, "it's very irritating when they talk, but don't do." foreign lorry drivers will be allowed to make more deliveries in the uk — unlimited trips within a fortnight — to tackle supply chain problems. around 43,000 people in the south—west of england may have been wrongly told their covid pcr test was negative after being processed at a lab in wolverhampton. travellers returning to england will be able to take private lateral flow tests instead of more expensive pcr tests from 24th october. victims of alleged domestic abuse are seeing their cases dropped at a rapidly increasing

that but he's going to tell us about the tennis. i was up early to listen! and great news in the tennis. ten years after he first established himself in britain, cameron norrie will be the new british men's number one, after reaching the semi—finals of the indian wells tournament, with an impressive win over diego schwartzman. he's now 26, and norrie is also likely to move into the top 20 in the world rankings, and is one of the form players this year. he won the first set without even losing a game, and wrapped up the second set 6—2 against the world number 15. the whole thing tookjust under an hour and a quarter. he now faces grigor dimitrov for a place in the final. great to see hard work rewarded. i am not surprised, he has won 49 matches on tour this year as you said, and the conditions in indian wells clearly suit him, he is enjoying the courts. he was unbelievable last night against schwartzman, he didn't miss a ball. would think that they are pleased but they will be looking further into the tournament rather than settling on what they have done so far. us open champion emma raducanu has withdrawn from the upcoming kremlin cup in moscow. the british 18—year—old has only played once since new york, losing in the current indian wells tournament. raducanu said she was looking forward to returning to the tour in a couple of weeks. manchester city forward raheem sterling says he would be open to playing abroad if he doesn't get more game time at the etihad stadium. sterling, whose contract runs out in 2023, has started just one premier league game since the opening weekend of the season. speaking to the ft business of sport us summit, he said if there was the opportunity to go somewhere else, he would be open to it. is an english player, all i know is the premier league. you know. all you know is the premier league and i have always thought that maybe one day i would love to play abroad and to see how i would come up against that challenge. in the women's champions league, arsenal bounced back from their defeat to barcelona with a 4—0 thumping of hoffenheim. lea williamson scored the fourth goal a few minutes before full—time. arsenal are second in their group. next, some possibly encouraging news for england ahead of this winter's ashes tour to australia. ben stokes posted a video on social media of himself batting in the nets yesterday. it's just two weeks since the all rounder underwent a successful operation on a fractured finger. stokes last played on 26thjuly, before announcing shortly afterwards that he would be taking an indefinite breakfrom the game. the olympic silver medallist sharron davies could be awarded a gold medal, 41 years after she won silver in the pool at the moscow games. she came second in the 400 metres individual medley behind east german teenager petra schneider, who has since admitted to being part of a systematic doping programme. swimming's governing body, fina, is now planning to investigate suggestions of past doping, such as east germany's programme in the 1970s and 1980s, and davies is hoping her dad will get to see her with the gold. he is 85 years old, my family made massive sacrifices, they went without holidays, my brothers went without holidays, my brothers went without school uniform, my mum went without school uniform, my mum went without a washing machine so i could do my sport, no lottery those days pulled at my dad was a full—time coach, not paid a lot, had to beg steal or borrow to get money to do it and gave up hisjob. now, keepy up with a balloon is something most of us have done, in the house, as kids. may be as grown—ups! well, there is now a world cup where the athletes take it very seriously, complete with safety gear and helmets, with obstacles such as cars, placed in the arena. this is in spain, organised by football star gerard pique and his girlfriend shakira, who was also in the crowd. born out of competitions on social media, not only do you have to stop it touching the ground, you have to move the balloon up with your shot, not down. peru were crowned the first world champions, to the excitement of the crowd. who would

health of youngsters. in a letter to facebook founder mark zuckerberg, the campaigners accuse the company of putting profit before the safety of children and urge him to ensure young people are safe on his platforms. andy burrows is in charge of child safety initiatives online for the nspcc, who are leading this campaign, and joins me now. what do you want facebook to do exactly? what do you want

facebook- the revelations from the facebook whistle—blower in the past few weeks which have set out that facebook has had research in the last few years that understands the harm that children can be exposed to when using their platforms as a result of the commercial decisions but what we have not seen is a response which is any way commensurate to the problem is that they themselves have set out. what were calling on mark zuckerberg to do today is to have a course correct on how facebook engages with child safety and with child safety experts all over the world which starts with publishing their research on the scale of the problems on facebook how the design of the sites contributes harm. and really changes how facebook makes product decisions so that children are notjust an afterthought but their safety is baked in to how products are designed and rolled out. ., , ,, out. facebook have dismissed the attacks that _ out. facebook have dismissed the attacks that came _ out. facebook have dismissed the attacks that came from _ out. facebook have dismissed the attacks that came from frances i attacks that came from frances haugen, that whistle—blower, saying it was a misrepresentation and mark zuckerberg has previously called for more regulation in the industry and says that allegations the company deliberately withheld research on its platform safety, that those allegations are misleading so what do you say to all of that? mark zuckerberg _ do you say to all of that? mark zuckerberg is _ do you say to all of that? mark zuckerberg is absolutely - do you say to all of that? i— zuckerberg is absolutely right that regulation should be delivered but facebook should not have to wait until it is a legal obligation to protect children before it starts to do much more on its platforms. unfortunately, the data and the voices of children speak for themselves on this issue. we know that facebook, for example, is involved in more than half of all grooming offences in the uk in england and wales, where the platform is recorded. during the last three years, we have seen instagram become used in a more grooming offences than any other platform, and the proportion of offences as well as the overall number on instagram has continued to increase. really, what we have seen here is mark zuckerberg all too often putting his fingers in his ears when it comes to child safety. at best we have seen initiatives that are in response to negative media coverage or in response to personal tragedies and that simply isn't enough. regulation is necessary but we don't have to wait until that is on the statute book. and it's notjust facebook and mark zuckerberg? you and it's notjust facebook and mark zuckerberg?— zuckerberg? you are right, this is an industry _ zuckerberg?

right, this is. an industry wide challenge that has to be addressed, but what has been particularly concerning about the disclosures from the whistle—blower, frances haugen, in recent weeks, is that facebook has done research, they have been fully aware of the risks on its particular sites, but then has failed to substantively take action to address them and i think more so than that, having had the research and failed to act, we have then seen a pr campaign, mark zuckerberg and nick clegg, now a senior executive at the company, giving evidence and media interviews, suggesting the direct opposite. there have been many calls in recent weeks that this should be facebook�*s big tobacco moment, this is an opportunity for them to demonstrate industry leadership and that they are going to act with more transparency, with more openness, and really beat much more child—centred. and really beat much more child-centred.— and really beat much more child-centred. , �* ., , ., ~

will help prevent shortages in the run—up to the festive season. but instead of getting caught up in a pre—christmas shopping spree, perhaps we should all think about other options — more green shopping, for example. with me now is bettina maidment, the founder of plastic—free hackney, which started life as an instagram account for recording her own efforts in going plastic—free. thank you for being with us. we know there will be supply shortages, it may be shortages of toys and other things we want for christmas, or to give to children, so what ideas do you have four may be a slightly

on, not the continual buying, this sort of crisis, as it were, i hope it makes people think a bit more and connect the dots but we are shipping huge amounts of plastic tat effectively from china over here for one day's pleasure and i hope people might start to connect the dots a bit. plastic not a benign substance, it is a fossil fuel, derived from fossil fuels which has a murky process from extraction and all the rest of it and then we ship it and shipping has a huge carbon footprint as well. makes christmas such a carbon intensive day and i hope we can step back and think it doesn't

they are not perfect, they don'tjust sit there asking for wooden blocks! they definitely want their share of the plastic but i have a simple rule which is a second—hand first. kids don't have that association that a second something lesser. if it is new to them it is a new toy. if they have got what they wanted and i happen to it online and it had been pre—used, they really don't see any different in that. that is my top rule if they do want something that i don't really want to buy them, it is to have a look and buy it second hand first. and like most parents, there are boundaries, financial pressures, all of these things. just because they present me with an arm list as long as their arm, doesn't mean they will get all of those things and it is managing expectations and saying you know, santa cannot get everybody everything. and talking about christmas in another way. i asked my nine—year—old what he really liked about christmas and he said it was the food and time with his grandma and things like that. these are things that we have taught them, we've tried to say to them that christmas is more about other things than just what you get in the morning. it is about the traditions, going to get the christmas tree can which we take home on a handy trolley without the plastic wrapping, getting the decorations out from previous years, it is embracing all of those traditions to make it feel festive and a warm and loving festival, without being like scrooge. ijust feel you don't have to break the bank and go all out for this mad, frenzied shopping experience to get the christmas experience. when did christmas become this massive consumer festival? we need to start looking at other ways of doing it because it is completely unsustainable. find i is completely

out there is a need to be that way. martin lewis talks about an obligation to buy things, and the greatest gift for a lot of people you can give is to take away the obligation to buy. friends of mine, i might happen to make them come at last year i had a glut of tomato chutney, i had tomatoes and i gave that and it was a no value gift, i didn't expect anything in return, but for a lot of people, this year it is going to be really tough. people are not worrying about whether they get christmas presents because they're worried about their gas bills and putting food on the table and these are real and genuine worries. i hope that by stepping back and looking at the festival is what it is supposed to be, the end of the year, spending time with family, about having a break from what has been happening, looking forward to the new year and if we just rephrase christmas in our minds, how we want it to be, we can have a really enjoyable day and an enjoyable festive period without these huge pressures put it doesn't have to be that way. and by making christmas as simple as possible, for me, that have saved a huge amount of money, and it saves the nervous breakdown the next day! iloathed

and returning to traditional 22—pint churns, in an effort to cut waste in its cafes and bars. the university of sheffield's three busiest cafes will make the switch, which they estimate will avoid the use of 27,000 plastic bottles each year. heidi tomlinson reports. milk delivery has come full circle. at a south yorkshire dairy farm, fresh milk is poured into stainless steel churns, destined for cafes a few miles away at the university of sheffield. it's a new idea to bypass the use of plastic bottles. instead of the cafes having milk in plastic bottles, i willjust put the milk in a churn and we can use a simple hand pull to get the milk out of the churn to the coffee jug for steaming for milk. no plastic involved whatsoever. so, this is a modern day mini—churn. it can hold ten litres of milk which is the equivalent of five of these plastic cartons. but the important thing is that this is made stainless steel, so could last a lifetime, whereas the plastic bottles are only used once. once delivered to coffee shops, the churns are housed in bespoke fridges. milk is dispensed directly intojugs, programmed to measure exactly the right amount for different drinks. we have just been using it for at least a couple of weeks now and it saves so much time and effort. we are a busy cafe and we were using quite a lot of the milk bottles so you can imagine, the bins were up and up and up. we can prove a concept, i we can show that it can work, but then we can share it with bigger business around sheffield _ and around the country. every year, the university of sheffield cafes dispose of 87,000 plastic cartons of milk. it was time to find an environmentally friendly alternative. steel cans were the original milk containers. they would be stacked up for collection at the side of the road. so why not borrow an idea from a bygone era? the churn will hold five times more milk than a traditional bottle will, so then your staff are having to... they can do five times more coffees before they had to stop. there is very few reasons to kind of think this isn't the way to go. switching to churns will cut the carbon footprint of milk delivery to the university by 65%. imagine the difference if every coffee shop made the change. heidi tomlinson, bbc news. a monument to pay tribute to the windrush migrants, who arrived in britain after the second world war, will be

last few years have been tough, having recently been through a divorce. she has been speaking to the zoe ball breakfast show on radio 2. you have been sharing over the last week what a journey putting this album together has been for you and also what you have been through. i definitely feel like i lost sight of and lost the appreciation actually what a gift it is to be into music and to be able to make it. ifeel like i got a bit frightened of it for a while and it really, really took care of me. i don't know what my outlet would have been, had i not had it, and it was bloody hard work to make just in terms of, you know, i was singing things i didn't even realise i was feeling or thinking. i can't, like, unlock a door, for my own mental health and take the key with me, i've got to leave it in the door for everyone else and i'm in a strong place now where i feel like i can put that vulnerability out. so, it is now 1am. easy on me has been available to listen to for about an hour. let's get some reaction from adele fans across the world. hello. hello! i'm chris, from seattle, washington. i am sabrina, from the philippines. hi, i'm anneka and i'm currently in australia. i what did you think of the new single? i it's amazing, i've been listeningl to it on repeat since this morning when i woke up and it is so good! i really, really love it. it is, like, ifeel. like it is a mixture of all the songs she's done so far. and, like, it'sjusti everything i thought it was going to be and more. i literally cried, watching that song! it's, like, telling you to free yourself from the shadows of the past. some of the little bits i that she added, it's almost like she's trying to tell us, "hi, i this is where i am six years later," and give us all an update and i really, really- like that about the song. and i'm just beyond thrilled to be hearing her voice again. - # there is a fire started in my heart # reaching a fever pitch that's bringing me out the dark... adele is one of the world's biggest selling artists, and other singers have their theories as to why she is so hugely popular. # don't underestimate the things that i will do... she is very connected to her normalness, and she sings about it with her extraordinaryness. so, she's an amazing combination of the terrestrial and the celestial. reaction on social media was a little more blunt. overwhelming delight that after six years adele was back. # so go easy on me... and with her new album out on the 19th of november, prepare to hear a lot more of adele's new songs over the coming months. tim muffett, bbc news.

sunshine it's been a chilly start but look at view from cumbria. but here and in other parts of scotland and northern ireland, still pretty cold only one or two degrees above freezing and we had frost for but what a contrast southern england and south wales with temperatures of 14 or 15 at the moment. these areas will warm up by a degree or two in the afternoon but the mild air remains, the yellow colours, and a blue indicates the extent of the more chilly air at the end of the day, 9—12 later. is the one area will fight back and this weekend we will see temperatures steadily rising, the amber colours appearing at the start of next week and temperatures above normal for this time of year when we could see highs in the high teens and even low 20s by tuesday. but warmth doesn't necessarily mean sunny. today, plenty of sunshine for most, the big exception with this front with some patchy light rain and drizzle, the odd shower on the south coast, more cloudy for many compared to many but sunshine elsewhere, a few showers in northern scotland. temperatures will be around 8—13 for many 15 — 17 in the south. going into this evening and overnight, it will turn chilly quickly so if you're out, you'll need a jacket. frost developing across some parts of the north and east, but front moves northwards in the west, temperatures rising here overnight into the morning. but confirmation that in rural areas there will be a frost to start tomorrow in the north and east. high pressure in the east, staying dry but a change to a milder air as this front with low pressure comes from the atlantic, initially throwing more cloud our way on saturday, so if you isolated showers, remain in the north of scotland but some elsewhere. and turning more grace in the west, patchy rain, may be some heavier births in northern ireland and western scotland later. milder air works and authors —— heavier bursts of rain. even in northern england and while their works through overnight into sunday, and most of us have some rain at times. stronger winds developing in the south and on sunday, more rain in the north—east of scotland, cloudy elsewhere, some showers but brighter moments as well and temperatures higher than today. goodbye. this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. the queen appears to criticise world leaders for a lack of action on
