yes, the government _ perhaps a change in emphasis? yes, the government is _ perhaps a change in emphasis? is: the government is sticking to plan a which is continuing vaccination programme and encouraging people to get a third booster dose of the vaccine and encouraging people to wear face coverings and crowded spaces. but it's not going further for now, the health secretary sing to the pandemic is not over, it remains a threat and the government will be moving with so—called plan b yet. but this came tonight in the face of increasing concern about the rising number of cases and hospitalizations and deaths in the uk and rising criticism particularly from the opposition labour party about the handling of things at this point. but you're right, no change in policy, no change in approach but in policy, no change in approach but in underlining and emphasising of the governments advice as it is of the governments advice as it is of the moment that people should be wearing face coverings and crowded places and urging people who have not been vaccinated to come forward and get theirjab. for not been vaccinated to come forward and get theirjab._ and get their 'ab. for statements on the — and get theirjab. for statements on the vaccine, vaccinating _ and get theirjab. for statements on the vaccine, vaccinating children - the vaccine, vaccinating children has been around for months and for boosters that is been around for months and adults choosing, all of theseissues months and adults choosing, all of these issues have been in plain sight. these issues have been in plain siuht. , ., these issues have been in plain siuht. , . ., y�* these issues have been in plain siuht. , . ., j , sight. they have and they've been cominu sight. they have and they've been comin: to sight. they have and they've been coming to a _ sight. they have and they've been coming to a head _ sight. they have and they've been coming to a head because - sight. they have and they've been coming to a head because her- sight. they have and they've been - coming to a head because her coming into the winter and is the health secretary said to himself, that is a time where the virus circulates more rapidly and we are seeing an increase in cases is month in the colder weather in the uk sets in and we are reminded that if you are indoors and increase ventilations and going back to basics with washing your hands and going into crowded places, the government was expecting this and i think that's what we have the health secretary giving a bit of a reality check that if you think the concerning case levels of the moments are concerning with 30,000 per day, expect them to double and more 100,000 per day. ihla double and more 100,000 per day. no mandatory measures yet but urging the government to reinstate some covert rules, some restrictions to protect the national health service 7 protect the national health service ? covid—19. it's a very simple choice, excepting the overwhelming evidence and doing what we can now to reduce their risks in a way that doesn't disrupt our day—to—day life or do we somehow cross our fingers and hope that a miracle will happen and that's stumble as we have done before, stumble as we have done before, stumble into crisis. this stumble as we have done before, stumble into crisis.— stumble into crisis. this will include this will the mandatory measures would include face coverings and vaccine passports, and more working from home — all preventative measures already in place in many european countries including france, italy and germany. this graph shows the number of new infections reported in the uk per million people perfortnight. you can see the rise in recent months. week on week, the number of covid cases across the uk, hospital admissions and deaths, are rising at a rate of 10 per cent or more, though that's well below levels seen in january. some working in intensive care say they are already under pressure. professor charlotte summers is an intensive care consultant. in mid—october, we are in a situation where one and five intensive care in the uk is occupied by someone who has coronavirus and this means that that that is not available to other patients and at the same time, we have increased numbers of non— covid—19 emergency patients appearing at the doors of the intensive care unit and we are trying to support the restoration of major complex surgeries of which there are many people on waiting lists. ., . , , ., lists. concerns there but for organisations _ lists. concerns there but for organisations that _ lists. concerns there but for organisations that could - lists. concerns there but for organisations that could be | lists. concerns there but for - organisations that could be affected by any restrictions coming forward. kate nicholls is chief executive of uk hospitality — she says it's important to balance health with business needs. it would be significant on the businesses in hospitality, 18 months of trading and they are not by any means backed into a state of trading where they are making a profit and to have restrictions reimposed at this point of the recovery would have a significant hit on revenue, so reducing vexing passports and working from home, they could have an impact on 20 to 40% and many of our businesses and that this pushes us back down to making this and less likely to be long—term and job losses as a result of that as long as the substance of governmental support to be alongside that to make sure it is reimposed. what support to be alongside that to make sure it is reimposed.— sure it is reimposed. what would it do if it were _ sure it is reimposed. what would it do if it were in _ sure it is reimposed. what would it do if it were in charge, _ sure it is reimposed. what would it do if it were in charge, the - sure it is reimposed. what would it do if it were in charge, the labourl do if it were in charge, the labour party?

"without the vaccine, deaths would be stratospheric, as they turned out to be." nicolas alcantara has had covid — and is activist for covid—19 victims and relatives in brazil. a better question is, what has the president done right? because the federal government did not, they did not adopt a strategy for buying and delivering tests for the general population or even for the vulnerable and another problem was that there was never an established national policy of tracing cases to contain the spread of the virus. what happened in the peak of the pandemic was that the perfect sector had access to the amounts of tests and could've sold them to anyone who could buy it. about $50 per person but when it's about $8 a day for everyone, you think about the poor population, the black population, the indigenous populations. those populations were much more affected than the medium and upper classes. this is a tragic experience for many people, for me, for my friends. president bolsonaro's critics have long accused him of failing to take covid—19 seriously. this report backs that up. he's frequently spoken out against lockdowns, masks and vaccinations. in march — a day after brazil recorded a record rise in deaths in 2a hours. president bolsonaro said "stop whining. how long are you going to keep crying about it?". but president bolsonaro is calling the inquiry a joke — and has dismissed it as politically motivated. lea—andro rush—oh — is a conservative columnist at gazeta do povo newspaper. he addresses the political dimension. commission in brazil is a political commission and in the end, even the senators that oppose the government thing to us too much to indict the president on genocide crimes and homicide, they still have plenty of order crimes and i think that the reason they're doing this commission is to create a political narrative and this political narrative can be used in the next presidential election. he did not behave well, it was another nice way to put it, but this is not a crime. so, in the end, you can have impeachment trials if you can have impeachment trials if you would and you can remove the president. there is a way to do that. but to treat this kind of behaviour is criminal, i think is a big stretch. well let's hear from the senator leading the inquiry. he's a known critic of jair bolsonaro. here he is speaking to katy watson. it's unclear whether this will lead to criminal charges. there still need to be votes in the senate on this. and there are other obstacles too. here's one professor at the brazil institute at king's college london. will be very unusual of this lead to prosecutions because the services are under the command of president bolsonaro's appointees. with the committee is trying to do is establish historical records and establish historical records and establish a political record and they've got very good evidence based on testimony from various people and documents that there was a parallel cabinet operating in the government was spreading fake news and there was spreading fake news and there was an excusable delays in acquiring vaccines and those investment and clerk when in products derived from chloroquine that didn't have any proven efficacy in dealing with the coronavirus. irate proven efficacy in dealing with the coronavirus-— proven efficacy in dealing with the coronavirus. we will see if charges come, we will see if the report calls for charges against 60 people — including 5 ministers and former ministers — and three of bolsonaro's sons. camilla mota, sao paulo —latest developments in the senate—where do you think this now goes—has this dented his popularity bolsonaro in this final report he was bolsonaro in this final report ye: was attributed bolsonaro in this final report “3; was attributed with nine bolsonaro in this final report ye: was attributed with nine different crimes including crimes against humanity and malfeasance. the seven senators that were in charge of putting the final version of the report, they had some disagreements on how many charges and which types of crimes he should be in the final version and one is genocide against the indigenous people. and some advised against it because they argued that in order to do that, they had to establish intention and this one was dropped off by the final version but that doesn't mean that senators are going easy on bolsonaro. they were making the case that his fingerprints are all over brazil's disastrous handling of the pandemic given the fact that he was negligent in not putting out a proper plan to tackle coronavirus or even procuring vaccines when they were available his rhetoric and his actions discouraging brazilians and even confusing the population in order to how to

accusing president bolsonaro of a number of serious misjudgments with regard to the pandemic and in some cases the allegations that it was not a misjudgment but a deliberate policy that went against scientific advice. because everything is so politicised in brazil, the does not necessarily mean that the president will be forced from office or anything like that of face charges, necessarily, it's not even certain that it will impact his popularity. all of that will play out in the coming weeks in brazil. much more on that and bbc slash news, if you go there now, you'll find comprehensive information from sajid javid, the health secretary who has been outlining that despite the fact that covid—19 cases are going up and may go covid—19 cases are going up and may 9° up covid—19 cases are going up and may go up 200,000 today, at the moment, the government is sticking with its crime policy and is in planning to bring in any covid—19 restrictions. we will see you in a couple minutes' time. hello. a marked change in our weather coming through right now. we are switching air masses. don't worry, it is not particularly painful, but it will be noticeable for the end of the week. it is going to feel much cooler and fresher. we sat in basically tropical air earlier on in the week, with a southerly or south—westerly airstream. for thursday and friday, we are into a plunging northerly. you get the picture, as we switch around to that blue shading in our graphic, moving into cooler air for thursday. stormy conditions across southern britain overnight. widespread gales, more heavy rain, a weather front sinks south. it's been across scotland through wednesday. it gets down into england and wales by the end of the night. behind it, much colder air. patchy frost to start the day for scotland and then quite a nagging northerly wind through the course of the day. some rain early on across southern counties. for many, beautiful blue skies and sunshine, but there will be some showers, and those showers will be wintry across mountains of scotland, such is the change in our air. gusts of wind up to a0 to 50 mph. these are the temperatures as you'd read them on the thermometer. take those with a pinch of salt. down the north sea coasts, probably going to feel closer to just 5 or six degrees. now, as we look at friday, things do shift on somewhat. a little ridge of high pressure builds in. itjust puts the brakes on those northerly winds somewhat. we will still be sitting in some relatively chilly air, but i think friday will feel a shade milder. there will be a few showers around, particular towards the northwest. there will also be some patchy cloud, but a fine day for friday, lighter winds than thursday. again, perhaps a little cooler than these temperatures would imply. for something milder, we need to look towards the weekend, when this ridge of high pressure will start to shuffle off towards the continent and we'll start to pick up a south—westerly airstream once again. quite a windy weekend overall, a south—westerly airstream means it should feel warmer, but there will be more cloud around towards the west through saturday and perhaps some heavier outbreaks of rain getting into the west by the time we look at the afternoon. for sunday, we still have the south—westerly winds, our temperatures will typically be in the mid—teens. perhaps, if anything, on sunday, a more widespread risk of seeing some showers, but they should be interspersed with seeing some pleasant spells of sunshine. the showers heaviest and most frequent across the western side of the uk. hello, i'm ros atkins with 0utside source. the uk is looking at a sharp rise in the number of coronavirus cases. we are starting to see this impact. cases arising and they could yet go as high as 100,000 a day. the health secretary urged more people to get vaccinated. some experts are saying the government should bring in covid restrictions, to slow the virus' spread. the man who carried out america's worst high school shooting three years ago in parkland, florida has pled guilty to 17 murders. many of the families of those killed were there to see nikolas cruz in court. he could face the death sentence. and the real madrid footballer karim benzema goes on trial in france, in a case over a team—mate's sex tape. let's return to our top story. the uk's health secretary says the number of covid—19 infections could rise to 100,000 a day, but still the government won't bring in mandatory covid measures to control the virus — not yet, at least. the uk's covid infection rate is currently higher than most other countries. you can see the difference in this graph. the first line is the uk — then the us, france, germany and spain. they're all seeing their case numbers decline, as the uk numbers continue to rise. catherine smallwood is the covid—19 incident manager for the world health organization in europe. thank you very much for speaking to

lauderdale. a un report has found that major economies will produce more than double the amount of coal, oil and gas by 2030 than what is needed to avoid global temperatures rising above 1.5 degrees. that was the target set out in the 2015 paris climate accord. the annual report, called "the production gap", looked at the fossil fuel production of the world's 15 major fossil fuel producing economies — including the us, china, russia and the united kingdom. it found that these economies will produce 115% more fossil fuels by 2030 than what is needed to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees and 40% more than what is needed to keep it below two degrees. specifically, the report says that by 2030, there will be 2a0% more coal, and 71% more gas than what is needed to stop global warming above 1.5 degrees. bear all of that in mind when we hear politicians saying progress is being made. this un report saying nowhere near enough. australia was one of the countries examined in the report. here's what professor will steffan from the non—profit climate council of australia says on what governments must do next. it isa it is a pretty frightening and damaging report, ithink, because this is the time we have to change the way we think, change the way we act and so on, because if we don't, we are sentencing our children and grandchildren to a pretty nasty planet to live on. so is is really is the make and break time. glasgow has to succeed, but it has to succeed in a very meaningful way. it is time for the real action begins. ploy achakulwisut, lead author of the report,

and i that you painted. thank you for i having me. it is sobering and i'm sad to say that we have been tracking and analysing this production gap since 2019, and our results have basically remained largely unchanged since then, so as you said, in stark contrast to all the talk of net zero emissions targets and increasing climate ambition, the major plans of the fossil fuel producing countries would need... beyond what we can safely burn that. is this because countries are not doing what they say they are going to do or is it because they are doing what they're going to do and it is not working? t doing what they're going to do and it is not working?— it is not working? i would love to hear from _ it is not working? i would love to hear from government _ it is not working? i would love to hear from government leaders i it is not working? i would love to i hear from government leaders and policymakers on their answer to that question. what we are finding is that in terms of the future plans, production levels, the policies of support, through subsidies, tax incentives and public financing, there is still helping to entrench and lock in a reliance on fossil fuel at a time when we need to be rapidly winding down and moving away from fossilfuel rapidly winding down and moving away from fossil fuel production and use in unmanaged and equitable manner. stay with me, ploy. in less than two weeks, over 120 leaders will be meeting in glasgow for a major climate summit. but not everyone is going to be there. today, the kremlin confirmed vladimir putin will not attend the summit in person. that's despite russia being the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. it's unclear whether china's president and india's prime minister will be attending. they're the first and third biggest greenhouse emitters. when we put all of that together, how do you feel? do you feel this is symptomatic of them not engaging seriously enough?— symptomatic of them not

problem that needs international cooperation and action, but based on governments own plans and productions, we find that five countries alone will account for about half of the global production between now and 20110, in these countries are china, russia, these countries are china, russia, the us, canada and saudi arabia. band the us, canada and saudi arabia. and ou i 'ust the us, canada and

goes on trial in france, in a case over a team—mate's sex tape. here in the uk, the home secretary has asked police to assess urgently the scale of drink spiking at nightclubs and parties amid reports of a rise in the number of cases in recent weeks. jo black reports. after covid, it was supposed to be the freshers' week they never had. but on this night out at a club in nottingham, second—year university student sarah buckle became so unwell, she ended up in hospital. out of nowhere, i seemed to just stop communicating. i couldn't talk. it was as if someone had just turned a switch. the 19—year—old believes she was the victim of an injection spiking. i was almost screaming out for help and then almost going unconscious and coming back round and choking, and they could just tell immediately, wait, it's not that she's had too much to drink, something's really, really wrong. i have no memory of anything. i think my earliest memory will have been around 9am. my hand was throbbing and a bruise was starting to develop. posts on social media talk of similar incidents, and now a petition calling for compulsory searches at nightclubs has been signed by more than 130,000 people. and groups from more than 30 universities around the uk have joined a campaign calling for a boycott of nightclubs at the end of this month. the problem of people having their drinks spiked in night—time venues has been reported for many years, but now there are new fears about the rise of injection spiking. however, only a small number of police forces across the uk say they've had reports of this happening. despite this, young people we spoke to today in nottingham said they were worried. i won't go out. i won't. it's too worrying. you shouldn't have in the back of your thought, is someone going to stab me with a needle and spike my drink? 0r anything like that. so it's really concerning. it's one thing to worry- about your drink being spiked, but having stuff injected i into you that you don't know what it is, anything i could happen to you. it's terrifying. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story: the uk health secretary says he will not bring in mandatory measures to stop the spread of c0vid—19 — despite saying cases could rise to 100,000 a day. one of europe's best—known footballers, real madrid striker karim benzema, has gone on trial in france — accused of complicity in an attempt to extort money from fellow footballer mathieu valbuena over a sex tape. prosecutors say 33—year—old benzema, who didn't appear in court, encouraged his team—mate, midfielder valbuena, to pay blackmailers — to stop a sex tape, which was found on his phone, from being made public. the case dates back to 2015, when the team—mates were at a training camp in france. hugh schofield is in paris with the background. it is alleged that at their training ground just south of paris, in october 2015, ground just south of paris, in 0ctober2015, benzema ground just south of paris, in october 2015, benzema approached valbuena and said to him, i know you've got trouble with a sex tape which was a video which had been originally at that point... it had got out and was showing him in a sex asked with a woman. and he said, benzema said to valbuena, i can help you put this to bed, i can help you put this away. if you get in touch with somebody i know in lyon, and this can go away. it is alleged black wheelers were trying to get money out of valbuena. benzema's players say it is nothing of the kind. the crux of the matter in court will be whether benzema knew that he was acting in an attempt to extort money out of valbuena, even if it was not for him, for the others, whereas his defences go to be that, no, was trying to simply help his team—mate in a difficult situation. benzema is one of five people on trial at this court in versailles. he's ridiculed the charge as a "masquerade" and faces up to five years in jail if he's found guilty. the trial will last three days. in court, mathieu valbuena said he'd never considered handing over money to stop the video getting out. and this is what he said outside. translation: today, it's been six ears

in order to put this behind me and we will stay as long as needed. as you can imagine, this was a huge story in french football. still is. both players lost their place on the national team in 2015. this year, six years since the scandal broke, benzema was recalled to the french side. here's hugh schofield again. there is a lot at stake, given benzema is a highly important, prominent player on the european football scene, top player in the spanish league, in line to get the ballon d'0r. he was out—of—favor in france for many years, but qu bec earlier this year and, we have no idea what would happen to his career if he is found guilty. but came back earlier this year. let's turn to a medicalfirst now. doctors in new york have managed to transplant a kidney from a pig into a human — and crucially they've done it without the organ triggering immediate rejection by the person's immune system. the operation was all performed on a patient who was brain dead and whose family consented to the experiment before her life support system was switched off. but before that, the new kidney functioned as it should do for three days whilst maintained outside her body. this is the surgeon who performed the operation. so, basically, what we did was we transplanted a kidney from a genetically engineered pig that had the main molecule that really defines the incompatibility of an organ tween a pig and a human. when a pig organ has been transplanted up the evolutionary scale, there has been this immediate rejection of the organ. within minutes to hours. and because of the revolution in genetic engineering of animals, you know, we have got ourfirst engineering of animals, you know, we have got our first hope that we could get beyond that initial barrier. all of the laboratory tests and everything that we did all looked pretty normal, in terms of what we would expect when we did a human transplant, so two things. no evidence of this vigorous early rejection, and the second thing, the kidney function well. what a remarkable achievement. thanks for watching. what a remarkable achievement. thanks forwatching. i'll what a remarkable achievement. thanks for watching. i'll see you soon. bye—bye. hello. a marked change in our weather coming through right now. we are switching air masses. don't worry, it is not particularly painful, but it will be noticeable for the end of the week. it is going to feel much cooler and fresher. we sat in basically tropical air earlier on in the week, with a southerly or south—westerly airstream. for thursday and friday, we are into a plunging northerly. you get the picture, as we switch around to that blue shading in our graphic, moving into cooler air for thursday. stormy conditions across southern britain overnight. widespread gales, more heavy rain, a weather front sinks south. it's been across scotland through wednesday. it gets down into england and wales by the end of the night. behind it, much colder air. patchy frost to start the day for scotland and then quite a nagging northerly wind through the course of the day. some rain early on across southern counties. for many, beautiful blue skies and sunshine, but there will be some showers, and those showers will be wintry across mountains of scotland, such is the change in our air. gusts of wind up to a0 to 50 mph. these are the temperatures as you'd read them on the thermometer. take those with a pinch of salt. down the north sea coasts, probably going to feel closer to just 5 or six degrees. now, as we look at friday, things do shift on somewhat. a little ridge of high pressure builds in. itjust puts the brakes on those northerly winds somewhat. we will still be sitting in some relatively chilly air, but i think friday will feel a shade milder. there will be a few showers around, particular towards the northwest. there will also be some patchy cloud, but a fine day for friday, lighter winds than thursday. again, perhaps a little cooler than these temperatures would imply. for something milder, we need to look towards the weekend, when this ridge of high pressure will start to shuffle off towards the continent and we'll start to pick up a south—westerly airstream once again. quite a windy weekend overall, a south—westerly airstream means it should feel warmer, but there will be more cloud around towards the west through saturday and perhaps some heavier outbreaks of rain getting into the west by the time we look at the afternoon. for sunday, we still have the south—westerly winds, our temperatures will typically be in the mid—teens. perhaps, if anything, on sunday, a more widespread risk of seeing some showers, but they should be interspersed with seeing some pleasant spells of sunshine. the showers heaviest and most frequent across the western side of the uk. this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 8. the health secretary, sajid javid says around five million people over the age of 16 have still not had the jab and stresses the pandemic is farfrom over. we've been in the race, a race between a vaccine and a virus. and although we are heading that race, the gap is narrowing. it comes as health leaders urge the return of some restrictions in england like compulsory mask wearing in certain settings. this is the lesson we must learn from the past, to prepare for what looks like an inevitable challenging period, ratherthan looks like an inevitable challenging period, rather than to cross our fingers and stumble into a crisis. but the government says it won't yet bring in it's plan b for england. so, what are the picture from where you are? we'll be discussing the situation from all parts of the uk.
