the nhs in england is promised almost £6 billion to help clear the record backlog of people waiting for tests, scans and treatments. facebook whistle—blower frances haugen tells mps that the platform puts growth over safety. the real thing we're seeing - here is facebook accepting little, tiny additions of harm, . like when they weigh off, "how much harm is worth how much growth for us?" - and a key spending pledge to help some of the world's poorest countries cut their carbon footprint has not been met days before world leaders meet in glasgow for the cop26 climate summit. millions of workers are set to get a pay boost from april with a rise in the national living wage. it's due to be announced in the budget on wednesday. the rate for those aged over 23 will go up to £9.50 per hour, from the 1st of april next year. that's up from the current rate of £8.91 per hour. the above inflation rise means a full—time worker on the national living wage would see their annual incomejump by more than £1000 before tax. minimum pay rates for younger workers and those on apprenticeships are also set to go up. the government has faced pressure to help low—paid, younger workers, who are among the worst hit by the pandemic. the federation of small businesses has said that some small firms may have to close as a result of the rise. the chief secretary to the treasury, simon clarke, was asked what help will be given to businesses in this week's budget. we've always been clear that this is a government that backs businesses, and we recognise this is always a balancing act when striking the national living wage and making sure that it's the right thing for both employers as well as for employees. we've given an enormous amount of help to businesses over the course of the covid pandemic, and that will be a key focus of the budget and the spending review. you look at existing measures like our super deduction, help to grow start—up loans, these are all things which were intended to make sure that businesses can notjust survive but thrive, and that is obviously a very important part of the week ahead. labour have said that the increase in the national living wage is not sufficient to cope with the rising cost of living. the shadow chief secretary to the treasury is bridget phillipson. it's a distinctly underwhelming offer from the government because we know with everything getting more expensive and hand—in—hand with the cut to universal credit, the increase in national insurance people are facing, a worker receiving universal credit will still be over £800 a year worse soft even when you take this into consideration. so i think there are immediate steps government could be thinking right now to make life a lot easierforfamilies thinking right now to make life a lot easier for families and they are choosing not to do this and all the smoke and mirrors from the governmentjust won't smoke and mirrors from the government just won't cut smoke and

for catastrophe with millions facing starvation and the harsh winter months still to come. the world food programme has warned 22 million people, about half the population, are suffering hunger on a daily basis. and the bbc has found evidence that some families are even selling their children to make ends meet. international aid has dried up since the taliban seized power in august while the world debates how to deal with the new regime. 0ur correspondent yogita limaye reports from afghanistan. a warning — her report contains distressing images and details from the start. this is what starvation does to a country. to its tiniest lives. six—month—old usman. habib ur—rehman, born three months ago. afghanistan was barely surviving before the taliban took over, but now foreign funds which propped up this country have been frozen. putting at least1 million children at risk of dying. in this ward, one in five will not make it. usman weighs less than half of what he should. his father among millions who have no work. usman's mother told us his twin is in a room next door. this hospital is full. some babies are already sharing a bed. while we were there, six more children were brought in. it's the only facility for hundreds of miles. because, without foreign money, most hospitals are collapsing. doctors and nurses among masses of government workers who haven't been paid for months. a third of the country's people don't know where their next meal will come from. we travelled out of herat to a rural settlement. tens of thousands displaced from remote provinces by decades of war and severe drought. no means of income, barely any food. some days families here don't eat. they have sold whatever little they had. and now some are forced to do the unthinkable. this baby girl has been sold by her family. we are hiding their identity to protect them. her husband used to collect rubbish, but even that earns him nothing now. once the baby's able to walk, she'll be taken away by the man who bought her. he's paid more than half of the £400 she's been sold for. that'll get the family through a few months. they've been told the girl will be married to his child, but no—one can be sure. we know there are other families here who've sold their children and even while we've been here, another person came up to one of our team and asked if we'd like to buy their child. the desperation and the urgency of the situation is hard to put in words. there is no more time left to reach the people of afghanistan. it cannot wait while the world debates whether or not to recognise a taliban government. nearby, aid agencies hand out parcels that might save some children from hunger. alone, they can't provide for the staggering needs. giving the taliban money without guarantees on human rights and how the funds will be used is dangerous, but afghanistan is sinking fast. millions here will not survive the winter. yogita limaye, bbc news, herat. joining me now live from herat in afghanistan is christophe garnier, the project coordinator for medecins sans frontieres. some really shocking images in that report. how bad is the situation and how much worse do you

the past 2a hours. a further 38 people have died within 28 days of testing positive for covid—19. and those figures don't include cases and deaths reported in wales, because of a technical problem at public health wales. meanwhile, more than 79% of the uk population aged 12 and over have now had two coronavirus vaccinations. it could soon be compulsory for nhs staff in england to be vaccinated for coronavirus. the health seceratry, sajid javid, says he's "leaning towards" such a policy, though no final decision has been taken. it comes as the government announces an extra £5.9 billion for the nhs in england, with the money being used to help clear the backlog of people waiting for tests and scans, and to buy equipment and improve it. i'm joined by professor neil mortensen, president of the royal college of surgeons in england. thank you so much for being with us. first of all that cash injection, almost £6 billion, how crucial is that going to be in clearing that record backlog? taste

been double vaccinated already. i was or is there to hear that in france, for example, talking to a colleague in the day came vaccination is mandatory and interestingly even vaccination is mandatory for planet surgery patients. so i can see where the secretary of state is coming from. i still think there is more room to persuade people rather than compel people at the moment we agree with all the

the way its algorithms are designed to promote divisive content, according to a former employee and whistleblower. speaking to mps and peers this afternoon, frances haugen said the company saw online safety as a "cost centre", even though she believes regulation would make facebook more successful. giving evidence to a parliamentary committee which is scrutinising planned legislation to regulate social media companies in the uk, she said that facebook�*s algorithms were having a direct impact on pushing individuals towards extremism. part of what is dangerous about groups is that we talk about sometimes this idea of is this an individual problem or is this a societal problem? one of the things that happens in aggregate is the algorithms take people who have very mainstream interests, and they push them towards extremist interests. you can be someone centre—left and you'll get pushed to radical left, you can be centre—right and get pushed to pushed to radical right. you be looking for healthy recipes and be pushed to anorexia content. they are examples on facebook�*s research of all this. one of the things that happens with groups and networks of groups is people see echo chambers that create social norms. so if i'm in a group that has lots of covid misinformation and i see over and over again that someone gives covid vaccine things that encourage people to get vaccinated, they get completely pounced upon. they get torn apart. i learned that certain ideas are suitable and unsuitable. when that context is around hate, now you see a normalisation of hate, normalisation of dehumanising others and that's what leads to violent incidents. joining me now is monika bickert, facebook�*s vice president of content policy. she said that it is leading to hate and

a move to help end low pay by the end of this parliament. we can speak to nye cominetti from the resolution foundation. they're a research organisation who say their goal is to improve outcomes for people on low and modest incomes. thank you very much for being with us. what do you make of this rise in the national living wage that has been announced and what part of the budget, we are told with mac it's definitely good news. i budget, we are told with mac it's definitely good news.— definitely good news. i think it's aood to definitely good news. i think it's good to think — definitely good news. i think it's good to think about _ definitely good news. i think it's good to think about what's - definitely good news. i think it's good to think about what's been happening over the past year. low—paid workers that really bore the brunt of the crisis both in employment terms and they were more likely to lose theirjobs or be furloughed but also in health terms is said that they are more likely to face a health consequence of the pandemic. so i think it's good that workers will be seeing a good wager next april so we don't quite know what inflation will beep when this happens but it's either going to be around 4%, so it should be a fairly decent move towards a pay increase but if you also say which of the game of the context of what is happening to income to the moment. so as we speak, people are seeing at £1000 cut in their incomes and nothing the government alternative to draw a comparison between his minimum—wage rise and the cut to incomes that there is benefit to receiving and having the key point to remember is even you are in your gross pay because it by £1000 a year is roughly what will happen if you are a full—time worker on minimum wage, actually your take—home pay will go by nearly as much. to have the pounds will take into account what you have type taxes and if it was are also really good news minimum wage increases happening it is not compensate for the cut to incomes many families will be experiencing right now. find incomes many families will be experiencing right now. and you say it's aood experiencing right now. and you say it's good news _ experiencing right now. and you say it's good news and _ experiencing right now. and you say it's good news and clearly _ experiencing right now. and you say it's good news and clearly it - experiencing right now. and you say it's good news and clearly it is - it's good news and clearly it is good news for workers but for businesses who have got to pay this rise, it can be a real problem and we been talking to some today who have already said it might mean laying off staff and it might mean reducing the hours that they can give to staff to work.— give to staff to work. there are alwa s give to staff to work. there are always trade-offs _ give to staff to work. there are always trade-offs with - give to staff to work. there are | always trade-offs with minimum give to staff to work. there are - always trade-offs with minimum wage always trade—offs with minimum wage policy and as you say when you increase it, the immediate benefit is that workers on minimum wage make more and 2 million workers will see a pay rise next april so that's obviously the good side but on the negative side, businesses will face lower profits and in case of a businesses cannot adjust, maybe they have really tight margins and they cannot pass on those wage costs into prices, then some businesses will be squeezed. the broad lesson of minimum wage policy over the last 20 years is that it's been by far and away a net positive so yes there will be some industries which will feel the squeeze but overall we are seeing really sharp increases in wages for lowest earners of the republic medic effects ofjobs or businesses that some expected when we first were talking about this policy 20 years ago. {lilia we first were talking about this policy 20 years ago.— policy 20 years ago. ok, thank you very much- — let's see what's going on in the road of sport. chetan has all the details. hello, good evening. scotland's cricketers are going to have to pull need a miracle if they're to avoid losing their first match of the super 12's at the t20 world cup. chasing 191 to beat afghanistan, they've collapsed in sharjah. having felt the full strength of afghanistan's batting line up after losing the toss and fielding. najibullah top scored, hammering three sixes in his 59 as his side racked up 190—4. scotland, who started their chase well, lost captain kyle coetzer for ten. mujeeb with the wicket — three more for him have swiftly followed. they just got another since theyjust got another since i sat down here. staying with cricket, there's a big boost for england as they prepare for the ashes. ben stokes has been added to the squad that'll head to australia next month ahead of december�*s first test. the all—rounder�*s been given the all clear after a second operation on a fractured finger. he's also been taking time out to prioritise his mental health. speaking to naga munchetty on bbc radio 5 live, former england opener michael carberry says stokes can expect the usual hostile reception from australia when he arrives there. he will be confident not only in the crowd, nowadays, as people tend to do, they hang out on social media, they think there are but clever, and will pop in there as well, so i think for me my only advice would be, as much as he can, try and channel his energies when he is on the pitch. he certainly doesn't need me to tell him that. off the pitch, i think it is about the england squad trying to get, i suppose, to help them avoid certain situations and just basically have as good a tour as he can, and obviously if someone like him has a great tour, i think england's chances are very, very good. unvaccinated tennis players are set to be allowed to compete at the australian open but will face two weeks of quarantine and regular testing, according to a letter given to wta players. australian ministers had said players withoutjabs would not be able to enter the country for the tournament. but the wta players' council says it's been told all competitors will be able to go to melbourne injanuary. a number of players — including 35% of those on the men's atp tour — remain unvaccinated. novak djokovic, the men's world number one and nine—time australian open champion, said last week he didn't want to reveal his vaccination status. 0le gunnar solskjaer called it the darkest day of his managerial career. manchester united's 5—0 defeat at home to liverpool in the premier league is a result that's piled more pressure on the united boss who's lost three of his last four league games. after the match, he signed autographs at old trafford, though thousands left the ground well before the final whistle. despite questions around his future, solskjaer says he's come too far to give up now. we've been getting the

against afghanistan. there is life commentary on five live extra. gavin will round up everything on sportsday at 6:30 p.m., but that's all for now. thank you, chetan, very much indeed. a key spending pledge to help some of the world's poorest countries cut their carbon footprint has not been met, days before world leaders are due to meet in glasgow for the cop26 climate summit. the richest nations had promised to raise $100 billion dollars a year for developing countries by 2020, but this won't be achieved until 2023 at the earliest. let's get more from our environment correspondent matt mcgrath. this was a key pledge. i think it was discussed at the g7 summit in cornwall, and it is not the backdrop to cut 26 for the failure to emerge? —— cock 26. right, this figure has been hanging over the climate talks for years now. the richer countries promised they would make good now. the uk government, which is running the cop26 talks, today have released a report showing a delivery plan, how to get to this figure, and they say they are confident they can get there by 2023 and over 100 billion x 2024 and 2025, and so you taken altogether, it will roughly absorb 100 billion a year over the five—year period. that's what they say... it is unfortunate they could not make it this year, but they say it is a good idea. however, campaigners are not happy with that. they think it is too little, too late, i think it is an issue of trust, and this is difficult situation going into two weeks of tough negotiations to have filled this promise and not to have the money delivered before the nations arrive in glasgow next week. but! arrive in glasgow next week. and what probably — arrive in glasgow next week. and what probably are the chances of substantial success and progress at cop26 in glasgow? we know for example some of the key leaders are not going to be there even, the chinese president amongst others. how important is that? important, the leaders — how important is that? important, the leaders are _ how important is that? important, the leaders are obviously - the leaders are obviously important, and they set the tone, if you like... there are 120 coming, so is a fairly good turnout from the rest of the world. i think the difficulty for the uk is, what is success? they have since existed to keep the global temperature goal, threshold, of 1.5 celsius alive. if you add up all the reports multi—countries and what they are planning to do, it is not anywhere near that, so they have set themselves a monument to task. it would be i think a miracle in some ways if they were able to get something, to keep that figure alive by the end of the cop, and i think there will be lots of other things along the way, but that key figure is going be difficult for them to achieve and i think people mayjudge achieve and i think people mayjudge a failure if there's not a clear pathway to that title in the two,. act, a miracle needed in glasgow. matt mcgrath, environment analyst. nicola sturgeon has said that the scottish government will be a bridge builder at the cop26 climate change summit in glasgow next week. scotland's first minister said she wanted to create spaces, initiatives and forums for non—governmental bodies to talk to countries at the conference. she also acknowledged the scottish government had missed annual targets three years running and would publish a catch—up plan. i know that the prime minister and the uk government are determined to step up in the days ahead and show real commitment and leadership. and the scottish government will do everything we can to help. after all, this summit will shape the future of the world we live in. so absolutely nothing, certainly not party politics, should stand in the way of us working together towards a successful outcome. one of scotland's objectives during the summit itself is to be a bridge builder, to connect those whose voices are too rarely heard with those making the decisions. nicola sturgeon there, first minister of scotland. and downing street has released a recording of the prime minister taking questions from schoolchildren on climate change this morning. he told them of his concerns about the forthcoming cop26 summit in glasgow. it's going to be very, very tough, this summit, and i'm very worried because it might go wrong. and we might not get the agreements that we need, and it's touch and go. it's very, very difficult, but i think it can be done. and i think if you look at what the uk has done, we've cut our own c02 emissions massively. touch and go, says the prime minister. the bbc will be bringing you full coverage of the un climate change conference cop26 in glasgow next week. from flooding to heatwaves, the world is experiencing more extreme and unpredictable weather. but what exactly is the difference between weather and climate? here's our reality check correspondent chris morris. 0na on a cold or wet summer's day, it is not that uncommon to hear someone say, so much for global warming! but as our planet heats up and it really is heating up, it is important to understand the difference between weather and climate. the weather is what is happening right now and how it is likely to vary over the coming hours, days and weeks. forecasters take a look at things like temperature, air pressure, wind direction and humidity for a particular region. they are open together into a model which tries to tell us what we want to know — what's the weather like? so will it stay sunny today? how hot is it going to be? when is he going to rain? is he going to blow a deal tomorrow? what are the chances of a white christmas? of course forecasters don't always get it quite right in the weather is consul he changing, but in general short—term forecasts are pretty accurate for the week ahead. longer range seasonal forecasts, are weak particularly expecting a hot summer or a cold winter, more likely to get things a bit wrong, but they are still dealing with the weather and not the climate. because the climate is measured and analysed over a much longer period of time. it is usually at least 30 years, but he can stretch over centuries or even millions of years. put simply, the claimant is the average for the weather that happens. so average temperatures, average rainfall, average amounts of sunshine. and climate scientists look at long—term trends to work out how the climate is changing. now, we know there are different climatic zones on the earth — there is tropical heat at one extreme and the furloughs and pulls at the other — but they are all affected by the global climate, and the trend at the moment is clear. 0ur planet is getting hotter and hotter. have a look at this chart. it shows the change in global surface temperature compared to mid 20th century levels. you can clearly see the upward trend, especially over the last 20 years. you may think, that does not look like much, but it is having a big impact on life on this planet. fuelling extreme weather events, melting sea ice, rising sea levels, long—term changes in living conditions, for humans animals and plants. , for example, at what has been happening to arctic sea ice. recently ed islamist level on satellite —— at its lowest level. a change in the weather means a day to day shift from rain to sunshine and back again, climate change means global warming. and that's a huge challenge we only to confront. chris morris reporting. our latest headlines on bbc news: the national living wage is set to rise to £9.50 per hour in this week's budget. the un warns millions of people in afghanistan are facing starvation this winter, as the bbc has found evidence that some families are even selling their children to get money

the coup in sudan. earlier, the head of sudan's sovereign council announced that the country's government has been dissolved and has declared a state of emergency. speaking on state television, lieutenant general abdel fattah al—burhan said elections would be held in 2023. earlier today, military officers arrested government officials including the prime minister. 0ur senior africa correspondent anne soy is in neighbouring kenya. she said it's difficult to get a clear picture of what's happening in sudan. 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 mean to send that information out. hundreds of thousands, many people coming out 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 jeanette shutdowns, they are also spirited and a shutdown of mobile networks, and a shutdown of mobile networks, and therefore they have been using mosques to mobilise people to come out in the streets, pro—democracy demonstrators, to resist attempts by the military to take over power. in the military to take over power. in the last hour, the general abdel fattah al—burhan has spoken, and he has said that he has dissolved that body that he heads as well as government, which is civilian lead. the military arrested the prime minister abdalla hamdok. they are holding him and his wife and an undisclosed location. they also arrested several cabinet members and the civilian member of the sovereign counsel. there is indeed so much tension, peoplejust try counsel. there is indeed so much tension, people just try to make sense of what has happened. a statement from the prime minister's office came earlier and warned against tearing to shreds the accord that, the deal that has enabled the military and civilians to share power, and so we are waiting to see what happens. already the united states has spoken, the embassy in sudan has said those who are disrupting the process, the road map to democracy must stand down. anne soy reporting. a senior m15 officer has apologised to families bereaved by the manchester arena attack in 2017. the apology is believed to be the first made directly by an officer from the security service, since the bombing in which 22 people were killed by salman abedi. the officer, who is giving evidence anonymously, also conceded that the security service had missed an opportunity to question abedi on his return to the uk from libya, four days before the attack. petrol prices have reached their highest ever price. motoring organisations say the average price paid for a litre of petrol is now nearly £1.43, beating the previous record set in 2012. diesel prices remain a little below its all—time high. analysts say its due in part to a doubling of the oil price since last year. the rac�*s fuel spokesperson, simon williams, explained why petrol prices were rising. it isa it is a combination of factors. not least the price of oil. oil has doubled in the last 12 months post up -- $13 —— $13 before the pandemic, we're now up to $85. fuel is traded down after the exchange rate is weaker thanit after the exchange rate is weaker than it was in 2012, and oil is actually far lower than 2012. the exchange rate makes a difference. then we have got the switch to e ten petrol, 5% more for petrol now. ethanol is really expensive on the whole. that is adding 9p a litre to the price we are paying at the pump, and then you have a duty at 58 billion and you've got retail margin, and the retailer have been taking more margin, they are taking around 9p a litre, and then obviously you've got vat. at then obviously you've got vat. at the end of that transaction. that gives us a price of 142. one of saudi arabia's former top intelligence officials has described the country's de—facto ruler, crown prince mohammed bin salman, as a "psychopath". sa'ad al—jabri claims the crown prince suggested he could assassinate the country s former king abdullah. here's our security correspondent, frank gardner. two men at war with each other. 0n the left, saudi arabia's all—powerful crown prince, mohammad bin salman. 0n the right, dr saad al—jabri, the former saudi number two in intelligence. he fled to canada after the crown prince seized powerfour years ago. he says he was targeted by a hit squad. i am here to sound the alarm about a psychopath killer a psychopath with no empathy, doesn't feel emotion, never learned from his experience. and we have witnessed atrocities and crimes committed by this killer. the saudi embassy in washington has dismissed the claims saying saad al—jabri stole millions of dollars from the government, which he denies. in saudi arabia, two of dr saad's children have been seized from their homes when they were still teenagers. they're now in prison, accused of financial crimes, which the family denies. it says the crown prince has also gone after dr saad's son—in—law. the first night he was kidnapped, he received more than 100 lashes, he was tortured. he was beaten on his back, on his legs. he was being told that he was being detained and tortured as a proxy for his father—in—law, meaning my dad. they even asked him a question — "who do think we should arrest and torture so dr saad can come back to the kingdom?" back in 2010, dr saad al—jabri tipped off western intelligence about an al-qaeda bomb plot. explosives had been smuggled inside printer ink toner cartridges on planes bound for chicago. the cia says his help saved lives. now dr saad wants the us government to pressure the saudis to release his children. i have to speak out. i am appealing to the american people and to the american administration to help me to release those children and to restore their life. crown prince mohammad bin salman is currently on a mission to rehabilitate his global image after being accused of ordering the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi three years ago. his public investment fund has bought a majority stake in newcastle united, something welcomed by the fans and condemned by his critics. today's allegations will only add to the controversy that surrounds the west's dealings with saudi arabia. frank gardner, bbc news. stars of the show friends have paid tribute to the actor james michael tyler, who played gunther in the long running comedy. he's died at the age of 59 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. jennifer aniston, who played rachel, the object of gunther�*s unrequited love in the show, said the programme would not have been the same without him. here's our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. its focus was on six friends, but a seventh character also made a big impression. this is a "getting rid of everything rachel ever touched" sale. i will take it all. and as friends' popularity grew, so did the role originally credited simply as "coffee guy." gunther, six glasses. six, you want me tojoin you? oh, i thoughtjoey was here. five is good. but, of course, he had one storyline everyone remembers. rachel? yeah? when's your birthday? 5th may, why? i'm just making a list of people's birthdays. 0h, mine's december... yeah, whatever. i finished it, i did it all by myself! and there's nobody to hug. it was so important to fans, the show felt they had to resolve it in friends' final episode. ijust have to tell you... ..i love you. i love you too. probably not in the same way. over the years, there were a few other small roles. and he was reunited with friends cast mate matt leblanc in bbc�*s sitcom episodes. seriously? is that the best you've got? but his legacy will always be friends. too ill
