"extra scanners are no good. if you don't have the trained staff to operate them and interpret the results." if this is new money it's truly welcome and the devil will be in the detail when it's announced on wednesday. it will help to deliver the proposals the government outlined last month. but what we've got to make sure is that we have the workforce in place to deliver the services. and we've also got to remember this isn't just about waiting lists. we have high demand in mental health, community services and in urgent and emergency care. those pressures on the nhs, being seen right across the uk, show no sign of easing. many will be looking closely at the details in wednesday's budget to see if further help is on the way. dominic hughes, bbc news. this morning, the health secretary sajid javid said he is considering making it compulsory for nhs staff in england to be vaccinated against covid. a consultation has just closed and mrjavid said he'll make a final decision in a few weeks. is that something that i am minded to do? yes, i am is that something that i am minded to do? yes, iam because is that something that i am minded to do? yes, i am because i think it is not only right for someone working in the nhs, because naturally, they are more likely to come into contact with covid and indeed other viruses but also for those they are caring for, you know, people who are vulnerable in hospital and i think like many other countries throughout europe that have done this, i think it is something we should actively be looking at. damian grammaticas is in westminster for us this morning. good morning. let's start there. it seems that the arguments as to whether there need to be further action against coronavirus are gathering pace. what is your sense? what is being said? what the government has been saying, sajid javid this morning, and we heard over the weekend as well and last week is that they don't see the need at the minute for further measures, not sort of any measures to require mask wearing or guidance for working from home. those are the kind of things that would be the next steps they might move to and they don't see any need for that. but we do have calls coming from various other quarters, so we had yesterday, the labour party coming out and saying they think the time has come to move to that butjust before that, we had last week doctors leaders, nhs leadership saying that they believe that action needed to be taken now to prevent further pressure on the health service as we come further into the winter and against the backlog of rising cases. but the government very much at the moment is saying it is putting its eggs in the basket of the vaccination drive to get people out, to get their boosterjabs. the argument there has been that has been happening more slowly than it needs to, to get out as quick as it was earlier in the year.— needs to, to get out as quick as it was earlier in the year. let's move on to what — was earlier in the year. let's move on to what feels _ was earlier in the year. let's move on to what feels to _ was earlier in the year. let's move on to what feels to be _ was earlier in the year. let's move on to what feels to be any - was earlier in the year. let's move on to what feels to be any way - was earlier in the year. let's movei on to what feels to be any way like a blizzard of announcements before the budget on wednesday. tell us about what is being said today?

yes, so we have got, it is a _ about what is being said today? 1&1: so we have got, it is a little unusual, in the run—up to the budget, the treasury have been putting out loads of releases, saying they are going to put money on all kinds of different areas, so we have had into training, into transport infrastructure, and today, the one they are focusing on is the health service, around £6 billion, as you were just hearing. the issue with all of this i think is that what we are getting, because we are getting all of these announcements ahead of time, we are only getting part of the story so you heard in the health service announcement, there, some questions about, well, if this going to be new money? sajid javid said today that it was. but is it all for new centres? well, they are saying ioo it all for new centres? well, they are saying 100 new treatment centres but we know 44 are already coming. what else is going to happen about the treatment, of those who have got to provide the treatment? it is all well and good to provide a centre or fun —— ifind a ct scan but what about the staff? there's 80,000 — 100,000 vacancies in the nhs. what about the other areas where there is real pressure on finances? this is all about spending on buildings and equipment and other things. what about the daily running costs of different government departments? what about the pressures on individuals with things like the rising cost of living, the rising gas and electricity bills, the people who are facing this winter? what is the government going to do about that? the big picture, is that, these announcements are all well and good but they don't give you the whole picture you need to see which we will only get on wednesday. see which we will only get on wednesday-— see which we will only get on wednesda . ., ~ , ., ., ., , wednesday. thank you for “oining us. damian grammaticas _ wednesday. thank you for “oining us. damian grammaticas in _ wednesday. thank you forjoining us. | damian grammaticas in westminster, there. dr layla mccay is director of policy at the nhs confederation — shejoins me now. good morning. good morning. i am assumin: good morning. good morning. i am assuming that _ good morning. good morning. i am assuming that he _ good morning. good morning. i am assuming that he welcomed - good morning. good morning. i am assuming that he welcomed this . good morning. good morning. i am i assuming that he welcomed this extra money?

it is probably not quite enough but it will go some helpful way. i think really what our questions are at the moment is that, great, this money is focusing on backlog recovery, but you know, what is the situation with staffing to enable that to happen? what about the other parts of the service? there seems to be a bit of a focus, you know, on hospitals whereas of course as we all know, the importance of primary care, the importance of mental health, all of those things work together as a system. so i think that the investment is going to be really important to go in at that system level to enable system level solutions to be found. share level to enable system level solutions to be found. are you suggesting — solutions to be found. are you suggesting that _ solutions to be found. are you suggesting that you _ solutions to be found. are you suggesting that you have - solutions to be found. are you | suggesting that you have some concerns around the way the money is being targeted and spent?

i think that it is quite right that - being targeted and spent? i think that it is quite right that this - that it is quite right that this money is targeted at these different elements of elective recovery. our members tell us all the time how challenging it is in terms of diagnostic equipment, in terms of facilities that need upgrading in order to be able to deliver the elective recovery and the scheme they want to and make sure patients get the right care, high quality, safe, etc. but certainly, it is only one part of the picture, and we really need to look at this in the round if we want to make sure things are happening well. we also need to remember that all of this is happening on top of a maintenance backlog that we know is about £9.2 billion at the moment. so there's lots of challenges but this will certainly go some way to help and if we are going to be able to deliver this, we also need the staff to do that,. white i wonder if i might also ask you about the hints from the health secretary sajid javid this morning that he is considering making it compulsory for nhs staff in england to be vaccinated against covid. d0 in england to be vaccinated against covid. ,, in england to be vaccinated against covid. y., ., ., ., , in england to be vaccinated against covid. ,, ., ., ., , ,, covid. do you wonder how many nhs workers are — covid. do you wonder how many nhs workers are currently _ covid. do you wonder how many nhs workers are currently double - workers are currently double vaccinated —— do you know how many? the vast majority are currently double vaccinated and it is really just a minority we are looking at now. but all through this entire vaccination programme, health leaders have been working so closely with their teams to help make sure they have the information they need to be empowered to make the decisions about the vaccine. at the moment, of course, some people do remain unvaccinated. it is a smaller number but nevertheless, when we speak to members, they say it is really tricky because in some ways, mandating the vaccine for covid—i9 could be helpful in increasing the number of people vaccinated, but on the other hand, what if it leads to some staff wanting to leave their roles? that would be really challenging as we come up to this winter, which we are expecting to be one of the more challenging winters, if not the most challenging went to the nhs has ever seen.— if not the most challenging went to the nhs has ever seen. thank you for “oininu us. 2 million more people will be invited to get their third covid jabs this week. the over—50s, healthcare workers and people with underlying health conditions are currently eligible for a booster, provided it has been six months since their second injection. the government believes that increasing vaccination rates is the key to avoiding new restrictions. a coup is taking place in sudan. the armed forces ministry has said in a statement that the army has detained the civilian prime minister and taken him to an unidentified location. social media shows images of several cabinet ministers from the transitional government — the sovereign council — being arrested. internet links have also reportedly been cut. our senior africa correspondent anne soyjoins me now from nairobi in neighbouring kenya. clearly from what i was just saying, getting information out of sudan is not easy but what can you tell us? indeed, it is not easy but we have seen some of the images that have been posted online, presumably by sudanese who are monitoring the situation and have means to send the information out, hundreds of thousands, many people in large numbers, on the streets of sudan, to what they call resist a military takeover of government. there have been calls in mosques because apart from internet shutdowns, they are also experiencing a shutdown of mobile networks, and they have been using the public address systems at mosques to mobilise people to come out in the streets, pro—democracy demonstrators, to resist attempts by the military to take over power but the military to take over power but the information ministry has confirmed that several members of the cabinet, including representatives of civilians in the ruling sovereign council, the equivalent of the head of state, have been arrested. but so far, there has not been a statement from there has not been a statement from the military. there has not been a statement from the military-— the military. sorry to interrupt, my understanding _ the military. sorry to interrupt, my understanding is _ the military. sorry to interrupt, my understanding is there _ the military. sorry to interrupt, my understanding is there was - the military. sorry to interrupt, my understanding is there was an - understanding is there was an attempted coup last month so is there a sense that this is not necessarily a surprise?

facebook is full of kind, conscientious, well—meaning people. the real question is around can we as a public change the incentives such that it makes more sense for facebook to invest more money in safety on instagram? and so i am sure that molly's experience caused them to look at these questions more. so one of the things that lead us to find out more about molly was some notes that she left, that were found after she died and in one of them, she wrote, "i keep a lot to myself and it keeps building up inside. "you get addicted to it and you don't even realise you have "spun out of control, you are living in "a trap, in a circle." what is so dangerous about having children under the age of 16, under the age of 18, using systems like instagram is that facebook�*s own research shows that a startlingly high fraction of them exhibit what is known as problematic use which means that they can't regulate their own usage of the product. it is kind of like cigarettes in that way. and they know it is hurting their physical health, their school work or their employment. facebook says it has never allowed content that promotes or encourages suicide or self—harm and it works with experts to continually update its policies. as time goes on, as a parent bereaved by the suicide of his 14—year—old, i look at a huge corporation with massive resources and say, "there must be more you can be doing." unquestionably, facebook could be investing more resources in making the platform safer. they have made a series of choices to prioritise profits over people. what do you think regulators can do to persuade those big tech companies to behave differently? there's no company in the world that has as much power as facebook and as little transparency. in a statement, facebook said, "our deepest sympathies are with the russell family. as a company, we have invested $13 billion on safety and security since 2016, and have more than 40,000 people working in this area". the whistle—blower and the campaigner, working to make social media a safer place. angus crawford, bbc news. tesco's website and app is working again after hackers caused problems with the supermarket�*s online service. shoppers were unable to book deliveries, or amend existing orders over the weekend. tesco has apologised and said its teams worked around the clock to restore the service. the actorjames michael tyler — who played gunther in the tv series friends — has died at the age of 59. he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2018 and had campaigned to raise awareness of the disease. here's our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. its focus was on six friends, but a seventh character also made a big impression. have you seen chandler?” have you seen chandler?

parts of the west and also the south. you can see a lot of dry weather. it is going to be a breezy day today so some of the showers will be pulled over towards the east. the heaviest are likely to be across the north and west of scotland where you could hear the odd rumble of thunder and into the afternoon we will have the showers on and off through the day. for northern ireland and northern england sunshine and showers and a lot of dry weather but breezy and for the rest of england and wales a similar story with that of sunshine and a showers and some of the showers in the south—east could prove to be heavy and thundery. temperatures lower than yesterday. yesterday we were looking at 60 degrees or above. today we are looking at 11 to ia. —— i6 degrees or above. today we are looking at 11 to ia. —— 16 degrees. showers are slowly easing. as i knew that the fun comes in from the west it is going to introduce some thicker cloud and some persistent rain. following away to between six and about 11 degrees. as we go through tomorrow the weather front continues to push steadily eastwards. there will be a lot of cloud rent. some murky conditions in the west on the coasts and the health and then you can see the second weather front coming in which is a cold front and that is going to be with us for a few days. it is going to bring in heavy rain and gusty winds. 50 to 55 mph around the north west of scotland and the western isles but for all of those temperatures will be up a bit on today. highs of 17 in cardiff. wednesday the weather front will have sunk further south. it is moving further north and a bit further south. to the south we are looking at drier and brighter conditions with some sunshine. top temperature is 80 degrees and on the other side of it there will be sunshine and some showers but again it is going to be noticeably windy during the course of wednesday. and into thursday as well we still have the same weather front and rainfall totals will be starting to mount up particularly across parts of scotland and through the hills and also in and around snowdonia but again on either side of that we will see some sunshine with temperatures 12 to about 17 degrees. that is how the weather is looking. good morning and we start with some breaking cricket news. ben stokes has confirmed he will be on the plane to australia for the ashes series. the all rounder was a doubt after breaking his finger and taking a break to prioritise his mental health. stokes has been added to england's squad saying: "i'm ready for australia." he's been given the all clear from his consultant after recovering from a second operation on a fractured finger and he's been posting updates on his progress on social media, including videos of himself batting and bowling in the nets. at the end ofjuly he announced he was taking a break from all forms of cricket because of his mental health. stokes' inclusion is great news for england fans, the first test starts on the 8th december in brisbane. in a statement the ecb included quotes from ben stokes. the all rounder said... the pressure is growing on all legal del —— ole gunnar solskjaer

sixth premier league goal of the season. and his celebration in the style of the hollywood film the matrix probably his best yet. it's moyes' most successful start to a season since 200a. the defeat drops tottenham to sixth. well, leicester beat manchester united last week and they followed it up with victory at brentford. james maddison's first goal in eight months the decisive moment in a 2—1 win. leicester are up to ninth in the table. in scotland, rangers returned to the top of the premiership after coming from behind to beat st mirren 21. the champions were stunned afterjust four minutes when this cracking strike from connor ronan gave the home side the lead. kemar roofe then levelled from the penalty spot and just two minutes later alfredo morelos scored what turned out to be rangers' winner. that's his 100th goal for the club. it was a tight finish but max verstappen held off lewis hamilton on the last lap to win the united states grand prix and extend his lead in the formula one title race. the battle intensified as hamilton came to within a second of verstappen, but he just couldn't get past the dutchman on the final lap. the red bull driver increases his advantage in the championship to 12 points with five races remaining. there's been a warning that many councils aren't paying homecare companies enough to cover basic costs such as travel between clients. it comes from a new report by an industry body, which calculated an average hourly shortfall of £3 per carer. councils say they don't have enough money to pay companies more. last week the government announced £162 million of new funding for adult social care. our social affairs editor, alison holt, reports. fori6 for 16 years denise has been driving around south yorkshire caring for

care is rising we are experiencing the worst difficulties recruiting and retaining staff anyone can remember. we are hearing today about the nhs receiving £6 billion funding and obviously that is welcome for the nhs but everybody needs to understand that operations are being cancelled and clinics are being cancelled and clinics are being cancelled because hospitals are unable to discharge

can be done?— can be done? councils depend on central government _ can be done? councils depend on central government for— can be done? councils depend on central government for their - central government for their funding. 70% of home care is purchased by the state and every business has to work within its budget within its means and providers cannot pay staff more than they receive for the care that they are asked to deliver so what we need to see a central government funding social care properly. the nhs is probably up to close to £160 billion of investment from the government. councils in total received 22 billion which is a tiny fraction and with that they have to support thousands more people in the community so we need to see councils being funded properly and in turn passing that money on so we can get care workers a fair wages that they deserve and require to recognise the skill and experience that they bring to their roles. it is also worth pointing out that it saves money long—term for the health and care system to keep people living well at home and avoiding unnecessary admissions to hospital, so that is what we really need to do, do what countries like

absolutely right. on wednesday the chancellor will stand up and deliver his budget and lay out the government's spending plans for each department over the next three years. even an advance of wednesday there are some things we already know. for example last month the biggest changes to the tax system for decades was announced and that will come into force of in april of next year. we also know about the rising national insurance and the creation of the new health and care levy. today we learn where that extra 12 billion p for that level will start to go for the health and care service. nearly £6 billion will be spent to try to clear the backlog of tests and appointments. there will be 100 new community diagnostic centres to do things like ct scans, ultrasounds and mris. we also know that the government plans to create around 30,000 new school places for children with educational needs and they plan to spend more than £2.5 billion on that. cash for house—building and changes to get more global setting figures uk ports. we might have nesters over the weekend but it was also announced there would be cash for regional transport schemes as part of the government's so called levelling up agenda. there are also promises and pledges so far for apprentices, vocational courses, the arts and culture sector and veterans but they questions remain about public sector pay, low paid workers, fuel costs, student loans, hs2 and other taxes, so all eyes will be on the chancellor rishi sunak at about 1230 on wednesday. we are going to cross to glasgow for a speech by nicola sturgeon. t0 we are going to cross to glasgow for a speech by nicola sturgeon.- a speech by nicola sturgeon. to use the lessons — a speech by nicola sturgeon. to use the lessons of _ a speech by nicola sturgeon. to use the lessons of tackling _ a speech by nicola sturgeon. to use the lessons of tackling a _ a speech by nicola sturgeon. to use the lessons of tackling a pandemic l the lessons of tackling a pandemic to speed up efforts to save the planet. science, collaboration, action across our societies have helped us manage covid although not as evenly across the globe it should be the case, getting people in all parts of the world vaccinated quickly is a challenge and indeed it is a moral responsibility that developed countries must step up and meet. there is no doubt at all that the speed with which vaccines were developed almost from a standing start is just one example of our response to covid has been testament to human ingenuity. we must bring that same urgency, immediacy and creativity to meeting head on the climate crisis. today i want to set out what in my view there is cop26 summit must achieve in terms of hard commitments on reducing emissions and on climate finance and crucially on promoting both international and intergenerational fairness. on promoting both international and intergenerationalfairness. i will then talk about the park scotland will seek to play during cop26 by encouraging dialogue and dredging what has been called the climate gap in perspectives on climate change and i will end by reflecting on the importance of scotland truly leading by example, leading in actions, not just in words, and also doing so on some of the more difficult decisions countries like ours face in making the transition to a net zero future. first, what must cop26 achieve? above all it must secure a to emission reductions that are capable of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. at the very least it must achieve near—term commitments that keep that objective well and truly alive in the longer term. the recent report of the intergovernmental panel tone climate change could not have been clearer. compared to preindustrial times global temperatures have already risen by more than one degree on average. the impacts of this are no longer a distant or theoretical. they are being experienced by many people across the world right now. this year wildfires in greece, massive flooding in nigeria, and uganda, a food crisis in madagascar, and of course we will not escape the impacts here in our country. this is an important point we all need to recognise, limiting warming to 1.5 degrees will not prevent all of the impacts of climate change, it is probably already too late to do that, but every fraction of a degree above that intensifies the catastrophic nature of what we face. if we allow that to happen we risk life on this planet becoming unrecognisable. every single leader without exception gathering in glasgow next week knows that. no one can pretend otherwise and each and every country gathered round the negotiating table also knows the action that is needed to prevent it so there is no excuse for failing to act. despite this the world is not yet meeting the challenge. it is not even yet coming close to doing that. as the un secretary general made clear last month a definite promises made by member states at that stage, assuming they were all delivered, were sufficient only to keep temperature increases to 2.7 degrees. he said that would create a health skate on earth. since then more pledges have been made to reduce emissions and that process will no doubt continue in the days ahead as we approach the start of cop26. that is welcome. there has been progress in other areas such as stopping the international financing of coal power projects but that is not yet nearly enough to keep global warming to two degrees let alone 1.5. so much more is needed. i think small countries like ours can lead the way and i will talk shortly about what we in scotland are doing and what more we need to do, but in the coming days the countries... welcome to view as on bbc world, we are currently watching a speech being made by nicola sturgeon about the environment. let's return to it. and be clear in their determination to achieve net to zero. to be credible, their pledges must be backed by action. the hard fact is this, keeping 1.5 alive, which has become the strapline almost four cop 26, is vital, but it must notjust become a face—saving slogan, it must become a face—saving slogan, it must be real. both in the run—up to and at cop 26 itself, there needs to be at cop 26 itself, there needs to be a significant uplift in ambition from the world's biggest emitting countries to make that real.
