mp carolyn harris. can i thank the minister, can i thank the clerks. wonderful women, thank you. the pope calls for world leaders to consider radical decisions to tackle climate change, in an exclusive message recorded for the bbc ahead of the cop26 summit in glasgow and big bearand baby bear are different. and it's the spooky season — let's find out what mark kermode thinks about disney's antlers and much more in the film review at 5.45. in the last hour — a 66—year—old woman from somerset has been found guilty of murdering her husband after a row over a family meal. penelope jackson stabbed david jackson to death at their home in somerset. after her arrest she told police she had stabbed him as "he was an aggressive bully". she's beenjailed for a life, with a minimum term of 18 years in prison. jon kay has the background to the case. february this year and police arrive at a bungalow on the somerset coast. element can you come outside for a minute. thank you. pennyjackson opens the door filmed on police body cam. inside, her78—year—old husband is dying. the retired lieutenant colonel has called police to say she stabbed him. paramedics arrive. it was lockdown at the time and the couple were having a meal here at their home for penny jackson's birthday. while they were eating, they were having a zoom call with relatives. she told her trial that during that meal, her husband made comments about some bubble and squeak she had prepared and that she then lost it. she claimed that after years of belittling, that night was the final straw. as she waited for the police, she told 999 she had stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife. in court, pennyjackson said she was ashamed of what she had done and what she had said after the killing. she admitted manslaughter but denied murder, claiming she had been subjected to coercion, control and physical violence by her husband throughout their 2a year marriage. police were called to their home over an incident last year, but the prosecution said there was a difference between a relationship with some occasional difficulties and one that is abusive. the key point to keep in our minds here is there has only been one voice in this trial and that is penelope jackson. david jackson hasn't been able to respond to the allegations put to him around the history of domestic abuse, and that was a really difficult issue for the jury to make a judgement on. i couldn't believe it. ijust could not believe it. ron lives next door. as far as i'm concerned, they were very good neighbours. pennyjackson said in court that for years she had been belittled by her husband and controlled by him. did you ever see anything like that? nothing at all. over the fence, talking to them, i won't believe that he was that type of person. this trial has raised many issues, from allegations of coercive control to the potential impact of lockdown on mental health. but after watching the video evidence and hearing from her in person, thejury concluded pennyjackson was guilty of murder. jon kay, bbc news. six minutes past five is the time. "two can play at that game" — that's the warning today to france from the british government as the row over post brexit fishing rights continues to escalate. the french ambassador to london has been summoned to the foreign office this afternoon. the french are angry about what they claim is a lack of licences for their boats to fish in uk waters. france has threatened to block british boats from its ports if the issue over fishing licences is not resolved by tuesday. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. rows overfishing is nothing is. this is jersey this isjersey in this is jersey in the summer, french poets protesting at the lives of catching rates after brexit. now you can french governments are involved in an escalating war of words. the uk says it's given most french boats licences to keep fishing here. but it has rejected some because they don't qualify. france is furious and has threatened to block british boats landing at french ports from tuesday. let's be serious, 244 boats with a pending license, this is not the treaty we signed when we dealt with brexit. the truth is that we have french fishermen losing 25% of their business every day. and, you know, it's something that we have to act on. this row could have an impact beyond fishing. france has threatened to increase checks from the uk and that could slow down trade over the channel. but ministers in london aren't backing down, saying they are prepared to retaliate if france takes action. two can play at that game, is what i would say. we've said that, for now, we're not going to respond in the way that france has. we're going to raise this with the commission and we're going to raise it through diplomatic channels with the french ambassador. but we'll reserve our right to do more things, obviously, if france continue to press ahead with these threats. this scottish boat was detained earlier this week in france. authorities said it didn't have a proper licence. but this is a diplomatic row that goes a lot deeper. the french ambassador has been summoned here to the foreign office in london this afternoon. that's something that's normally reserved for hostile states, not for close neighbours and allies. the uk says it still wants to try and figure out a diplomatic solution. but ministers have also held talks about what to do if one can't be found. it was all smiles when borisjohnson and the french president met back in june. they are due to hold brief talks on sunday at the 620, where the tensions over fishing are likely to make things a little less friendly. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. we arejust chain we are just chain that asserts in the french facing industry that negotiations between the european commission and uk on uk issued fishing licenses, those negotiations are going to continue this weekend. our political correspondent damian grammaticus the row betwen paris and london has escalated quickly. it has ramped up pretty fast. i think what you have to be aware of in that, though, is that there is an issue with this weekend because this weekend is the point at which french poets, which had been fishing in waters, particularly around jersey, will see their current access and. so i think that's where the real crunch point is coming from, the french side concerned about that and particularly at the heart of this issue, somewhere between 40— 50 poets from the french side that have not got licenses to fish and it waters jersey and believe that they should have done. the issue there, i think, is the ability of those boats to provide historical data showing that they have traditionally finished those waters, which would entitle them to licenses under the post brexit trade agreements, but if they are unable to provide that information because they're small boats don't have traffic systems and the like or they don't accept the information they provide, that is where the difficulty comes. what we have seen today the efforts to address this in high—level talks between the eu and the uk, that is between the eu and the uk, that is between lord frost who is also dealing with other issues relating to northern ireland and the protocol. those have not led to a break there. we have the ambassador being called in this afternoon here in london and all of this is the sort of politics swirling around those a0 or 50 licenses. that was from damien. let's discuss this with barrie deas, chief executive of the national federation of fishermen's organisations. thank you very much for being with us. this is a row between paris and london that has escalated, but do you think there can be negotiated outcome? , ~ ~ ., outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises _ outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me — outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is _ outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is this _ outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is this whole - outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is this whole issue outcome? yes, i think so. what - surprises me is this whole issue has been escalated to the level that it has. this is really a technical issue, a technical matter. we have similarly domestically license issues when licenses are allocated and the eligibility criteria are discussed, but it is highly technical. i think it is the belligerence rhetoric that's coming from france that surprises me that has pushed us up the agenda, and of course, the threats. but that seems to be completely disproportionate to theissues to be completely disproportionate to the issues involved. my understanding is that actually, the working group between the eu and the uk on these license issues have been progressing quite well. they've been working through it systematically. there will be threshold issues for some of those vessels that haven't got the evidence to demonstrate that they have finished in the past, and there also be opportunists that want to get a licence to basically crawl under the bar, because it's a valuable thing to have a uk endorsement on your licence. so there will be those technical issues to be resolved, but for the life of me... ., _ to be resolved, but for the life of me... ., ,~ to be resolved, but for the life of me... ., . me... you say they are technical issues, me... you say they are technical issues. but _ me... you say they are technical issues, but the _ me... you say they are technical issues, but the french _ me... you say they are technical issues, but the french clearly i me... you say they are technical. issues, but the french clearly feel hard done by command as we hearfrom our political correspondent, this is a question about a0— 50 boats that have been refused licenses. yes. have been refused licenses. yes, well, have been refused licenses. yes, well. some _ have been refused licenses. yes, well. some of— have been refused licenses. yes, well, some of those _ have been refused licenses. yes, well, some of those vessels - have been refused licenses. 133 well, some of those vessels will not be eligible, some of them will be, and we have to separate them. all of thatis and we have to separate them. all of that is completely compliant and in—line with the trading corporation agreements. i think that this issue has got a lot more to do with domestic politics in france than it has to do with fishing. find domestic politics in france than it has to do with fishing.— has to do with fishing. and if it noes has to do with fishing. and if it goes further. _ has to do with fishing. and if it goes further, this _ has to do with fishing. and if it goes further, this whole - has to do with fishing. and if it i goes further, this whole dispute, and the french are turning to up the ante next week, next tuesday, and to block some british vessels at some french ports, what would be your reaction to that?— reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats _ reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats there, _ reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats there, including i reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats there, including a l list of threats there, including a 0—tolerance enforcement regime, and as you say, prohibiting uk vessels from landing into france, and trade issues. all of them, it seems to me, are a double—edged sword. there are many french fat cells fishing and uk waters than we fish in their waters, so if you go down that rabbit hole of a biscuit for tat. —— there are many french fishing boats. we are all going to be losers here, similarly with trade, there are businesses in the supply chain in the uk, but also on the other side of the channel that need that trade in the fish and shellfish to continue. their survival depends on it. so, yeah, it will hurt us, but it. so, yeah, it will hurt us, but it will hurt the other side as well. but are you saying that if the french do that next week that we should retaliate? that it should be biscuit for tat? because we had the environment secretary saying that two can play at this game. ida. environment secretary saying that two can play at this game. no, i'm

national federation of the sherman's organisation. last week saw the highest levels of coronavirus infections ever reported across uk — according to the office for national statistics. the infection survey found that nearly 1.3 million people in the uk — around one in 55 people — would have tested positive for coronavirus in the week to last friday. but the survey does not cover the week that's just ending, where the daily number of infections has appeared to be beginning to fall. and today the government has urged secondary school pupils in england to get themselves tested before retruning to school after half term to try and avoid further disruption. 0ur head of statistics robert cuffe has been explaining. we are back up, the number of people infected, that we last hit in january, but the number of people in hospital is only a quarter of that. this chart that we are showing now shows the trends we have seen over recent times. we saw case numbers rise as society opened up into the middle of summer, and in—betweenjuly and october they bobbled around a lot, they are up and down, peaks and troughs all following closely. it is only in the last month they have started driving up again past a million and a quarter, and that reinforces the difficulty of having an open society as we move into winter when respiratory viruses like colds and coughs and the flu will thrive. that puts more pressure on us and we will see the infection levels...there is a chance they could keep on rising. that data was for last week, and at this current week that we are in. now to the latest covid data from the uk government. ff)in the past 2a hours, a3,a67 people have tested positive, with 186 deaths within 28 days of a positive testmeanwhile, almost 80% of the population aged 12 and over have had two doses of a vaccine let's discuss this with the immunologist professor peter 0penshaw, a member of the new and emerging respiratory virus threats advisory group which advises the government. good to have you with us once again. well, we have got today's data and the ons data from last week, which is quite worrying. i think it is worrying. i think there is every possibility that with half term the numbers possibility that with half term tie: numbers will go possibility that with half term ti2 numbers will go down a possibility that with half term it“i2 numbers will go down a bit, possibility that with half term it i2 numbers will go down a bit, and then they will probably come up that a plan that children go back to school. we are seeing clearly that the highest rates are now amongst secondary schoolchildren, and we are a bit slow and wrong at the vaccines in that age group. 50 a bit slow and wrong at the vaccines in that age grows-— a bit slow and wrong at the vaccines in that age group. so what do we do about that? — in that age group. so what do we do about that? in _ in that age group. so what do we do about that? in terms _ in that age group. so what do we do about that? in terms of— in that age group. so what do we do about that? in terms of the - about that? in terms of the vaccine were allowed, how much i do can we push it, do you think?— push it, do you think? well, most other countries _ push it, do you think? well, most other countries did _ push it, do you think? well, most other countries did actually - push it, do you think? well, most other countries did actually push l push it, do you think? well, most| other countries did actually push it much harder than we did. so, you know, i think there needs to be very clear messaging about this, and there was a lot of confusion, i think, about whether it was beneficial, about whether there was some risk of vaccinating teenagers, and i think that that's confusion has probably led to a rather slow at take off. also, we were initially on the getting vaccines in schools, and of course, it may not be convenient always to have a vaccine in school. it's much better if you have a multipronged approach in terms of being able to get people vaccinated. in terms of the government's possible alternatives of plan b, which we hear so much about, this idea of mandatory face coverings and so on, is at the time for them to introduce that? because boris johnson has made pretty clear he doesn't see anything in the date at the moment that requires that. yes. the moment that requires that. yes, arain, i the moment that requires that. yes, again. i think — the moment that requires that. yes, again. i think it— the moment that requires that. yes, again, i think it is, _ the moment that requires that. yes, again, i think it is, you _ the moment that requires that. i2: again, i think it is, you know, watching the day that day by day, sometimes it flickers up, sometimes it flickers down, but i think it's very clear at the moment that in all parts of the country, the r number, the rate of replication of this virus is above one, in other words, it is on an upward trend. it would be wrong to immediately think that just because over half term things go down of that that it's time that we all relaxed and threw away all precaution and just started to infect each other. 0ver precaution and just started to infect each other. over a million people in fact dead in this country, and, you know, and every day we are seeing another thousand or so going to hospital. 1,000 deaths in the past seven days. i mean, these are astonishingly high numbers. this is not what we expect with a flu season at all. this is a very nasty virus, and we really do need to get it under control so that we can go into the winter season knowing that the rates are low enough. haifa the winter season knowing that the rates are low enough.— the winter season knowing that the rates are low enough. how much more dancerous rates are low enough. how much more dangerous is — rates are low enough. how much more dangerous is the _ rates are low enough. how much more dangerous is the winter _ rates are low enough. how much more dangerous is the winter season - rates are low enough. how much more dangerous is the winter season going l dangerous is the winter season going to be in terms of, you know, it's going to get colder, darker, people are going to be inside much more often, clearly, and it's much easier for the virus to spread. i often, clearly, and it's much easier for the virus to spread.— for the virus to spread. i think we're all _ for the virus to spread. i think we're all anticipating - for the virus to spread. i think we're all anticipating it - for the virus to spread. i think we're all anticipating it well i for the virus to spread. i think| we're all anticipating it well be worse. i mean, we are still learning about this virus, it clearly does seem to be amongst those virus says that do really breed better in the winter. so we need to anticipate that this is going to be a bad season coming up, unless we really do something about it now. all riaht, do something about it now. all right, peter, thank you very much indeed, peterthere, member of the group which advises indeed, peter there, member of the group which advises the indeed, peterthere, member of the group which advises the government. meanwhile, the first minister of wales mark drakeford has warned that covid rules which had been scrapped could be brought back in order to allow people to have a "normal" christmas. new measures are already being brought in to tackle wales' high covid rates — the worst in the uk. covid passes will be extended to cinemas, theatres and concert halls from 15 november as part of the plans. pubs, restaurants and cafes might also require passes if infections climb. there are a wide range of further measures that we can take. we don't want to. we've managed to keep wales at alert level zero for many weeks, now. but with the numbers as they are in the community, we have literally thousands of people every day falling ill with the coronavirus. they can't be in work. they can't be out, helping with the economy. and we have to do something to bring those numbers down. the headlines on bbc news... a woman found guilty of murdering her husband after a row over a family meal has been sentenced to life with a minimum term of 18 years. the government warns it may retaliate if france blocks british fishing boats in the row over post—brexit fishing rights the uk saw the highest level of coronavirus infections since the pandemic began last week — figures suggest 1.3 million people tested positive. treatment for the menopause is to be made cheaper in england with the government announcing that prescription charges will be significantly reduced. the announcement follows a campaign from labour mp carolyn harris. she had put forward a bill to make hrt treatment free. the government said they would not go that far, but that women would only have to pay for the prescription once a year, saving around £200. we are speaking with our gas now, and she has been on hrt forfour years. thank you forjoining us. we have had this announcement from the government about making it a lot cheaper, gender pounds a year cheaper, gender

told us it was coming, and i think we have all been piecing it together. i think the timing could not be better. we have got this time where bills are going up, utilities are going up, somewhere in that £10, £9 a month and £18 every month, every three months, it is a significant amount of money. there are so many barriers that women feel they have to overcome regarding hrt, if we can take down the economic barrierjust one more thing that is going to make it more accessible for women. so absolutely, i think we should celebrate. 0ne absolutely, i think we should celebrate. one thing the government can agree across the parties, so they have worked together, and it's fantastic news, it really is. hot fantastic news, it really is. not all women _ fantastic news, it really is. not all

not without its risks, but it's actually the benefits far most when it will outweigh the risks, and it's very much a personal history, personal choice, so what i would say to him and is talk to your gpa, talk to him and is talk to your gpa, talk to an expert, get advice from a professional who knows about your individual, ora professional who knows about your individual, or a woman's individual

from your neighbour is auntie mary, because it subject, and they can be transformational for women's lives across the board. there is not a bit of life that doesn't get affected for some women, and it's really important to say that not all women will need or want to go on hrt, but by removing the cost to this much more reduced amount, it'sjust fantastic news. so what i would say to him and his get the advice from your professional, please. don't just put up with that.— your professional, please. don't just put up with that. your campaign in the campaign _ just put up with that. your

in the campaign of others has been l in the campaign of others has been about not only removing the cost, but also removing the taboo around menopause and around hrt may be as well, and it's important, isn't that that we are discussing it here now on national television, whereas maybe we weren't a few years ago. absolutely. i remember when i first heard about a ten or 15 years ago and it was, that happened to me, but when i get there, it will all be sorted, and guess what, i got there, and i was scrambling around in the dark and i had to piece it together for myself, and the fantastic work that has been done, we have all the celebrities were going public and bringing what will happen to every woman, it shouldn't be a surprise, we just need to normalise it, woman, it shouldn't be a surprise, wejust need to normalise it, so it is amazing that, actually, there is now that's real sort of movement and women like carolyn harris, amazing. menopause can as i say, it's not new it's just suddenly being acknowledged as a women's health concern that it is. and we should all know about it because it affects everyone commit affects partners commit effects and players. it's a societal

the bbc that the social networking giant's rebrand is an attempt to save its image and sweep structural problems under the carpet. facebook has changed its corporate name to meta, with founder mark zuckerberg saying it broaden's the company's reach from social media into areas like virtual reality. let's talk to our let�*s talk to our dis— let's talk to our dis— information reporter. marianna spring whojoins me now. lot of talk about they met a person meda is going to be better. just tell us what the facebook whistle blower has been saying. she's been in the uk talking to mps critically about the claim she makes towards facebook puts profit over user safety. today she spoke to me for the first time about her reaction to this rebrand, meda as facebook will now be called. and the metaphors, this new video game technology that they are launching. her fears are that they are choosing to invest in this new technology and growth as opposed to her user safety which he is so concerned about. safety which he is so concerned about. i was really shocked to see the rebrand in the last couple of days. yesterday. a big reason why they have tackled and tie backs content but not ——anti—vax misogyny content is theyjust don't have enough people working on safety. and i was shocked they could afford 10,000 new engineers working on video games but not keeping women safe. what she's referring to there is an investigation we differed bbc panorama whether we created a dummy troll account in that account was pushed more and more anti— women content on facebook and instagram. facebook told us that it does not promote or it tries not to promote harmful content and it doesn't tolerate hate. but the concern they are from francis haugen was that the investment and effort that the company are going towards other things, the metaphors as opposed to tackling issues that have been revealed byjournalists by herself for the facebook file she also spoke about her concerns to with this video game to limit technology particularly in regards to transparency and privacy. she feels why would you let facebook into your home with this new technology when it's not protecting your safety, she alleges. everything i've seen so far about the switch to video games has given me pause. a core part of what's given facebook to go off the rails is a lack of transparency. i see nothing to them committing public data, access to public academics and yet they're asking us to reveal even more personal data that they do today. because they want us to fill our homes with microphones and sensors. they will have complete access to. and they say, just trust us. i don't why would want fast but not facebook to penetrate even further into our lives when they have that history limit demonstrated a commitment to keeping a straight. i want facebooks microphones in my home. ., ,., i want facebooks microphones in my home. ., ., . , ., home. their reasoning francis haugen is here is because _ home. their reasoning francis haugen is here is because she's _ home. their reasoning francis haugen is here is because she's been - is here is because she's been talking to mps about all my safety legislation that's been proposed here in the uk. in discussing the bill at the moment she sprays her, she because they're really positive thing that is in many ways being watched by the rest of the world who are looking at and grappling at this idea of regulating big tech and social media companies was does feel that there are certain loopholes that there are certain loopholes that there are certain loopholes that the social media sites including facebook are prepared to exploit and she's keen to get rid of those in the bill. i exploit and she's keen to get rid of those in the bill.— those in the bill. i think it's really important _ those in the bill. i think it's really important for - those in the bill. i think it's really important for us - those in the bill. i think it's really important for us to i those in the bill. i think it's - really important for us to make sure we close the loopholes and regulations. for example, if we have an exemption for political speech, i think it's going to be used to exempt any bad behaviour like someone calling for the death of an mp is eric kinse could not be considered political speech. it's really important for us to stand our ground and make sure that we have regulations that are actually have enough teeth in them to make sure we've hold facebook accountable. i think the uk has an advantage where you have been paying attention to this and later huge monogram work over the years was up to the us is not as far along in that journey so i think unquestionably whatever you guys past is going to be like a light in the darkness and is going to get a scaffold for at least whatever the united states will do. facebook has said that it has no commercial or moral incentive to do anything other than the give the maximum number of people is much as i positive people expect as possible. marks doctor berg committed to privacy and user safety when it comes to it ? mark zuckerberg. as you can see one whistle—blower there is very worried about the possible harm that could come from this and from a lack of investment in other concerns. thank you very much. the energy regulator says it may change the way it caps bills for millions of households across britain as a major spike in gas prices drives suppliers out of business. 0fgem has given no details of what adjustments it might make to how the cap is calculated, but will set out its thinking as it launches a consultation next month. currently the regulator caps the energy bills of more than 1a million households at £1,277 per year on average. our business editor, simonjack has more. the recent spike in energy prices exposed problems in the energy market. one is the existence of the cap itself. here you have a market where the wholesale price moves on a daily basis, and yet you have got this cap which is set twice a year, so pretty inflexible. so when you see wholesale prices shooting up, you have some companies who have made promises to their customers but haven't pre—bought the gas at the right price to be able to supply them, so they face going to the wholesale market and buying it miles higher than they are allowed to sell it to their customers. the net result is we have seen 16 companies go bust because they don't have deep enough pockets to take those losses. that is one thing so the regulators says we will have another look at how the cap is calculated. some thoughts are it may be calculated more frequently, more often than every six months. it may be relative to the cheapest price or the most expensive price that suppliers offer, to stop them offering unrealistically cheap deals to get customers which they then can't fulfil, so that is one part. the other thing is the regulator will look at how strong are these companies. there was a huge flood of new entrants to the market. we went from the big six to 70 companies and may end up with ten. the regulator says we should be looking at how resilient these companies were and how able they were to withstand a shot like that. a lot of people in the market saying this is what the sensible regulator should have been doing in the first place, rather than piling in as many entrants as you could, kicking and that i had to see where they were strong enough to withhold a shock like that. but as you say, they have this consultation, they will go away and ask people how we should change the way the markets are regulated, how the cap is calculated, and report back by february of next year in time for the next cap to be said which is due to be set in february for introduction in april. whatever the result of the consultation, we can be sure energy bills will go very sharply higher when those things are reset because the cost of this crisis will have to be paid back. the clear up has begun in cumbria after some a0 homes were flooded due to torrential rain. across the borders and north west england there has been major road and rail travel disrupted. the met office has issued a yellow warning, meaning some disruption is possible, and the environment agency has a number of flood warnings in place. megan paterson is in in cockermouth in cumbria. well, as you can see, the river here in cockermouth still looks like a force to be reckoned with this afternoon. within the last few minutes, we've seen a cumbria county council worker come here to take pictures of the structural integrity of the bridge. the reassuring thing, though, is that the water has receded considerably here. you can see by the line of leaves left by the river on the ground here that the river has gone down and that's the case across the county. river levels have peaked. the lakes are levelling out. the environment agency says that this is an improving situation although it still will continue to rain for the next few hours. people are being advised to stay vigilant. we haven't had any more reports of flooding to properties, that a0 you mentioned, but hopefully there shouldn't be any more today. the environment agency saying the rain should ease off and that the river catchment area should be able to cope with that. unfortunately, there has been disruption to the roads. localised flooding making it difficult to get around for some people in cumbria today. and for people trying to travel through the county, on the west coast mainline, that's been very difficult too. the weather affecting west coast rail services. we expect by later this afternoon, those services should get back to some sense of normality, although people are still being advised not to travel if they don't have to do. the weather warning is still in place here. it's been downgraded from that amber level last night. so the next 2a hours we expect some rain but not as bad as we've seen the previous two days. there's a sense of relief here in cockermouth and elsewhere in cumbria that this time the flooding hasn't been as bad, but there's also a realisation, an acceptance that flooding

mp carolyn harris. can i thank the minister, can i thank the clerks. wonderful women, thank you. the pope calls for world leaders to consider radical decisions to tackle climate change, in an exclusive message recorded for the bbc ahead of the cop26 summit in glasgow and big bearand baby bear are different. and it's the spooky season — let's find out what mark kermode thinks about disney's antlers and much more in the film review at 5.45. in the last hour — a 66—year—old woman from somerset has been found guilty of murdering her husband after a row over a family meal. penelope jackson stabbed david jackson to death at their home in somerset. after her arrest she told police she had stabbed him as "he was an aggressive bully". she's beenjailed for a life, with a minimum term of 18 years in prison. jon kay has the background to the case. february this year and police arrive at a bungalow on the somerset coast. element can you come outside for a minute. thank you. pennyjackson opens the door filmed on police body cam. inside, her78—year—old husband is dying. the retired lieutenant colonel has called police to say she stabbed him. paramedics arrive. it was lockdown at the time and the couple were having a meal here at their home for penny jackson's birthday. while they were eating, they were having a zoom call with relatives. she told her trial that during that meal, her husband made comments about some bubble and squeak she had prepared and that she then lost it. she claimed that after years of belittling, that night was the final straw. as she waited for the police, she told 999 she had stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife. in court, pennyjackson said she was ashamed of what she had done and what she had said after the killing. she admitted manslaughter but denied murder, claiming she had been subjected to coercion, control and physical violence by her husband throughout their 2a year marriage. police were called to their home over an incident last year, but the prosecution said there was a difference between a relationship with some occasional difficulties and one that is abusive. the key point to keep in our minds here is there has only been one voice in this trial and that is penelope jackson. david jackson hasn't been able to respond to the allegations put to him around the history of domestic abuse, and that was a really difficult issue for the jury to make a judgement on. i couldn't believe it. ijust could not believe it. ron lives next door. as far as i'm concerned, they were very good neighbours. pennyjackson said in court that for years she had been belittled by her husband and controlled by him. did you ever see anything like that? nothing at all. over the fence, talking to them, i won't believe that he was that type of person. this trial has raised many issues, from allegations of coercive control to the potential impact of lockdown on mental health. but after watching the video evidence and hearing from her in person, thejury concluded pennyjackson was guilty of murder. jon kay, bbc news. six minutes past five is the time. "two can play at that game" — that's the warning today to france from the british government as the row over post brexit fishing rights continues to escalate. the french ambassador to london has been summoned to the foreign office this afternoon. the french are angry about what they claim is a lack of licences for their boats to fish in uk waters. france has threatened to block british boats from its ports if the issue over fishing licences is not resolved by tuesday. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. rows overfishing is nothing is. this is jersey this isjersey in this is jersey in the summer, french poets protesting at the lives of catching rates after brexit. now you can french governments are involved in an escalating war of words. the uk says it's given most french boats licences to keep fishing here. but it has rejected some because they don't qualify. france is furious and has threatened to block british boats landing at french ports from tuesday. let's be serious, 244 boats with a pending license, this is not the treaty we signed when we dealt with brexit. the truth is that we have french fishermen losing 25% of their business every day. and, you know, it's something that we have to act on. this row could have an impact beyond fishing. france has threatened to increase checks from the uk and that could slow down trade over the channel. but ministers in london aren't backing down, saying they are prepared to retaliate if france takes action. two can play at that game, is what i would say. we've said that, for now, we're not going to respond in the way that france has. we're going to raise this with the commission and we're going to raise it through diplomatic channels with the french ambassador. but we'll reserve our right to do more things, obviously, if france continue to press ahead with these threats. this scottish boat was detained earlier this week in france. authorities said it didn't have a proper licence. but this is a diplomatic row that goes a lot deeper. the french ambassador has been summoned here to the foreign office in london this afternoon. that's something that's normally reserved for hostile states, not for close neighbours and allies. the uk says it still wants to try and figure out a diplomatic solution. but ministers have also held talks about what to do if one can't be found. it was all smiles when borisjohnson and the french president met back in june. they are due to hold brief talks on sunday at the 620, where the tensions over fishing are likely to make things a little less friendly. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. we arejust chain we are just chain that asserts in the french facing industry that negotiations between the european commission and uk on uk issued fishing licenses, those negotiations are going to continue this weekend. our political correspondent damian grammaticus the row betwen paris and london has escalated quickly. it has ramped up pretty fast. i think what you have to be aware of in that, though, is that there is an issue with this weekend because this weekend is the point at which french poets, which had been fishing in waters, particularly around jersey, will see their current access and. so i think that's where the real crunch point is coming from, the french side concerned about that and particularly at the heart of this issue, somewhere between 40— 50 poets from the french side that have not got licenses to fish and it waters jersey and believe that they should have done. the issue there, i think, is the ability of those boats to provide historical data showing that they have traditionally finished those waters, which would entitle them to licenses under the post brexit trade agreements, but if they are unable to provide that information because they're small boats don't have traffic systems and the like or they don't accept the information they provide, that is where the difficulty comes. what we have seen today the efforts to address this in high—level talks between the eu and the uk, that is between the eu and the uk, that is between lord frost who is also dealing with other issues relating to northern ireland and the protocol. those have not led to a break there. we have the ambassador being called in this afternoon here in london and all of this is the sort of politics swirling around those a0 or 50 licenses. that was from damien. let's discuss this with barrie deas, chief executive of the national federation of fishermen's organisations. thank you very much for being with us. this is a row between paris and london that has escalated, but do you think there can be negotiated outcome? , ~ ~ ., outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises _ outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me — outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is _ outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is this _ outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is this whole - outcome? yes, i think so. what surprises me is this whole issue outcome? yes, i think so. what - surprises me is this whole issue has been escalated to the level that it has. this is really a technical issue, a technical matter. we have similarly domestically license issues when licenses are allocated and the eligibility criteria are discussed, but it is highly technical. i think it is the belligerence rhetoric that's coming from france that surprises me that has pushed us up the agenda, and of course, the threats. but that seems to be completely disproportionate to theissues to be completely disproportionate to the issues involved. my understanding is that actually, the working group between the eu and the uk on these license issues have been progressing quite well. they've been working through it systematically. there will be threshold issues for some of those vessels that haven't got the evidence to demonstrate that they have finished in the past, and there also be opportunists that want to get a licence to basically crawl under the bar, because it's a valuable thing to have a uk endorsement on your licence. so there will be those technical issues to be resolved, but for the life of me... ., _ to be resolved, but for the life of me... ., ,~ to be resolved, but for the life of me... ., . me... you say they are technical issues, me... you say they are technical issues. but _ me... you say they are technical issues, but the _ me... you say they are technical issues, but the french _ me... you say they are technical issues, but the french clearly i me... you say they are

refused licenses. yes, well, have been refused licenses. yes, well. some _ have been refused licenses. yes, well. some of— have been refused licenses. yes, well, some of those _ have been refused licenses. yes, well, some of those vessels - have been refused licenses. 133 well, some of those vessels will not be eligible, some of them will be, and we have to separate them. all of thatis and we have to separate them. all of that is completely compliant and in—line with the trading corporation agreements. i think that this issue has got a lot more to do with domestic politics in france than it has to do with fishing. find domestic politics in france than it has to do with fishing.— has to do with fishing. and if it noes has to do with fishing. and if it goes further. _ has to do with fishing. and if it goes further, this _ has to do with fishing. and if it goes further, this whole - has to do with fishing. and if it i goes further, this whole dispute, and the french are turning to up the ante next week, next tuesday, and to block some british vessels at some french ports, what would be your reaction to that?— reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats _ reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats there, _ reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats there, including i reaction to that? well, there is a list of threats there, including a l list of threats there, including a 0—tolerance enforcement regime, and as you say, prohibiting uk vessels from landing into france, and trade issues. all of them, it seems to me, are a double—edged sword. there are many french fat cells fishing and uk waters than we fish in their waters, so if you go down that rabbit hole of a biscuit for tat. —— there are many french fishing boats. we are all going to be losers here, similarly with trade, there are businesses in the supply chain in the uk, but also on the other side of the channel that need that trade in the fish and shellfish to continue. their survival depends on it. so, yeah, it will hurt us, but it. so, yeah, it will hurt us, but it will hurt the other side as well. but are you saying that if the french do that next week that we should retaliate? that it should be biscuit for tat? because we had the environment secretary saying that two can play at this game. ida. environment secretary saying that two can play at this game. no, i'm

national federation of the sherman's organisation. last week saw the highest levels of coronavirus infections ever reported across uk — according to the office for national statistics. the infection survey found that nearly 1.3 million people in the uk — around one in 55 people — would have tested positive for coronavirus in the week to last friday. but the survey does not cover the week that's just ending, where the daily number of infections has appeared to be beginning to fall. and today the government has urged secondary school pupils in england to get themselves tested before retruning to school after half term to try and avoid further disruption. 0ur head of statistics robert cuffe has been explaining. we are back up, the number of people infected, that we last hit in january, but the number of people in hospital is only a quarter of that. this chart that we are showing now shows the trends we have seen over recent times. we saw case numbers rise as society opened up into the middle of summer, and in—betweenjuly and october they bobbled around a lot, they are up and down, peaks and troughs all following closely. it is only in the last month they have started driving up again past a million and a quarter, and that reinforces the difficulty of having an open society as we move into winter when respiratory viruses like colds and coughs and the flu will thrive. that puts more pressure on us and we will see the infection levels...there is a chance they could keep on rising. that data was for last week, and at this current week that we are in. now to the latest covid data from the uk government. ff)in the past 2a hours, a3,a67 people have tested positive, with 186 deaths within 28 days of a positive testmeanwhile, almost 80% of the population aged 12 and over have had two doses of a vaccine let's discuss this with the immunologist professor peter 0penshaw, a member of the new and emerging respiratory virus threats advisory group which advises the government. good to have you with us once again. well, we have got today's data and the ons data from last week, which is quite worrying. i think it is worrying. i think there is every possibility that with half term the numbers possibility that with half term tie: numbers will go possibility that with half term ti2 numbers will go down a possibility that with half term it“i2 numbers will go down a bit, possibility that with half term it i2 numbers will go down a bit, and then they will probably come up that a plan that children go back to school. we are seeing clearly that the highest rates are now amongst secondary schoolchildren, and we are a bit slow and wrong at the vaccines in that age group. 50 a bit slow and wrong at the vaccines in that age grows-— a bit slow and wrong at the vaccines in that age group. so what do we do about that? — in that age group. so what do we do about that? in _ in that age group. so what do we do about that? in terms _ in that age group. so what do we do about that? in terms of— in that age group. so what do we do about that? in terms of the - about that? in terms of the vaccine were allowed, how much i do can we push it, do you think?— push it, do you think? well, most other countries _ push it, do you think? well, most other countries did _ push it, do you think? well, most other countries did actually - push it, do you think? well, most other countries did actually push l push it, do you think? well, most| other countries did actually push it much harder than we did. so, you know, i think there needs to be very clear messaging about this, and there was a lot of confusion, i think, about whether it was beneficial, about whether there was some risk of vaccinating teenagers, and i think that that's confusion has probably led to a rather slow at take off. also, we were initially on the getting vaccines in schools, and of course, it may not be convenient always to have a vaccine in school. it's much better if you have a multipronged approach in terms of being able to get people vaccinated. in terms of the government's possible alternatives of plan b, which we hear so much about, this idea of mandatory face coverings and so on, is at the time for them to introduce that? because boris johnson has made pretty clear he doesn't see anything in the date at the moment that requires that. yes. the moment that requires that. yes, arain, i the moment that requires that. yes, again. i think — the moment that requires that. yes, again. i think it— the moment that requires that. yes, again, i think it is, _ the moment that requires that. yes, again, i think it is, you _ the moment that requires that. i2: again, i think it is, you know, watching the day that day by day, sometimes it flickers up, sometimes it flickers down, but i think it's very clear at the moment that in all parts of the country, the r number, the rate of replication of this virus is above one, in other words, it is on an upward trend. it would be wrong to immediately think that just because over half term things go down of that that it's time that we all relaxed and threw away all precaution and just started to infect each other. 0ver precaution and just started to infect each other. over a million people in fact dead in this country, and, you know, and every day we are seeing another thousand or so going to hospital. 1,000 deaths in the past seven days. i mean, these are astonishingly high numbers. this is not what we expect with a flu season at all. this is a very nasty virus, and we really do need to get it under control so that we can go into the winter season knowing that the rates are low enough. haifa the winter season knowing that the rates are low enough.— the winter season knowing that the rates are low

i think we're all anticipating it well i for the virus to spread. i think| we're all anticipating it well be worse. i mean, we are still learning about this virus, it clearly does seem to be amongst those virus says that do really breed better in the winter. so we need to anticipate that this is going to be a bad season coming up, unless we really do something about it now. all riaht, do something about it now. all right, peter, thank you very much indeed, peterthere, member of the group which advises indeed, peter there, member of the group which advises the indeed, peterthere,

people to have a "normal" christmas. new measures are already being brought in to tackle wales' high covid rates — the worst in the uk. covid passes will be extended to cinemas, theatres and concert halls from 15 november as part of the plans. pubs, restaurants and cafes might also require passes if infections climb. there are a wide range of further measures that we can take. we don't want to. we've managed to keep wales at alert level zero for many weeks, now. but with the numbers as they are in the community, we have literally thousands of people every day falling ill with the coronavirus. they can't be in work. they can't be out, helping with the economy. and we have to do something to bring those numbers down. the headlines on bbc news... a woman found guilty of murdering

is to be made cheaper in england with the government announcing that prescription charges will be significantly reduced. the announcement follows a campaign from labour mp carolyn harris. she had put

that £10, £9 a month and £18 every month, every three months, it is a significant amount of money. there are so many barriers that women feel they have to overcome regarding hrt, if we can take down the economic barrierjust one more thing that is going to make it more accessible for women. so absolutely, i think we should celebrate. 0ne absolutely, i think we should celebrate. one thing the

the bbc that the social networking giant's rebrand is an attempt to save its image and sweep structural problems under the carpet. facebook has changed its corporate name to meta, with founder mark zuckerberg saying it broaden's the company's reach from social media into areas like virtual reality. let's talk to our let�*s talk to our dis— let's talk to our dis— information reporter. marianna spring whojoins me now. lot of talk about they met a person meda is going to be better. just tell us what the facebook whistle blower has been saying. she's been in the uk talking to mps critically about the claim she makes towards facebook puts profit over user safety. today she spoke to me for the first time about her reaction to this rebrand, meda as facebook will now be called. and the metaphors, this new video game technology that they are launching. her fears are that they are choosing to invest in this new technology and growth as opposed to her user safety which he is so concerned about. safety which he is so concerned about. i was really shocked to see the rebrand in the last couple of days. yesterday. a big reason why they have tackled and tie backs content but not ——anti—vax misogyny content is theyjust don't have enough people working on safety. and i was shocked they could afford 10,000 new engineers working on video games but not keeping women safe. what she's referring to there is an investigation we differed bbc panorama whether we created a dummy troll account in that account was pushed more and more anti— women content on facebook and instagram. facebook told us that it does not promote or it tries not to promote harmful content and it doesn't tolerate hate. but the concern they are from francis haugen was that the investment and effort that the company are going towards other things, the metaphors as opposed to tackling issues that have been revealed byjournalists by herself for the facebook file she also spoke about her concerns to with this video game to limit technology particularly in regards to transparency and privacy. she feels why would you let facebook into your home with this new technology when it's not protecting your safety, she alleges. everything i've seen so far about the switch to video games has given me pause. a core part of what's given facebook to go off the rails is a lack of transparency. i see nothing to them committing public data, access to public academics and yet they're asking us to reveal even more personal data that they do today. because they want us to fill our homes with microphones and sensors. they will have complete access to. and they say, just trust us. i don't why would want fast but not facebook to penetrate even further into our lives when they have that history limit demonstrated a commitment to keeping a straight. i want facebooks microphones in my home. ., ,., i want facebooks microphones in my home. ., ., . , ., home. their reasoning francis haugen is here is

the world who are looking at and grappling at this idea of regulating big tech and social media companies was does feel that there are certain loopholes that there are certain loopholes that there are certain loopholes that the social media sites including facebook are prepared to exploit and she's keen to get rid of those in the bill. i exploit and she's keen to get rid of those in the bill.— those in the bill. i think it's really important _ those in the bill. i think it's really important for - those in the bill. i think it's really important for us - those in the bill. i think it's really important for us to i those in the bill. i think it's - really important for us to make sure we close the loopholes and regulations. for example, if we have an exemption for political speech, i think it's going to be used to exempt any bad behaviour like someone calling for the death of an mp is eric kinse could not be considered political speech. it's really important for us to stand our ground and make sure that we have regulations that are actually have enough teeth in them to make sure we've hold facebook accountable. i think the uk has an advantage where you have been paying attention to this and later huge monogram work over the years was up to the us is not as far along in that journey so i think unquestionably whatever you guys past is going to be like a light in the darkness and is going to get a scaffold for at least whatever the united states will do. facebook has said that it has no commercial or moral incentive to do anything other than the give the maximum number of people is much as i positive people expect as possible. marks doctor berg committed to privacy and user safety when it comes to it ? mark zuckerberg. as you can see one whistle—blower there is very worried about the possible harm that could come from this and from a lack of investment in other concerns. thank you very much. the energy regulator says it may change the way it caps bills for millions of households across britain as a major spike in gas prices drives suppliers out of business. 0fgem has given no details of what adjustments it might make to how the cap is calculated, but will set out its thinking as it launches a consultation next month. currently the regulator caps the energy bills of more than 1a million households at £1,277 per year on average. our business editor, simonjack has more. the recent spike in energy prices exposed problems in the energy market. one is the existence of the cap itself. here you have a market where the wholesale price moves on a daily basis, and yet you have got this cap which is set twice a year, so pretty inflexible. so when you see wholesale prices shooting up, you have some companies who have made promises to their customers but haven't pre—bought the gas at the right price to be able to supply them, so they face going to the wholesale market and buying it miles higher than they are allowed to sell it to their customers. the net result is we have seen 16 companies go bust because they don't have deep enough pockets to take those losses. that is one thing so the regulators says we will have another look at how the cap is calculated. some thoughts are it may be calculated more frequently, more often than every six months. it may be relative to the cheapest price or the most expensive price that suppliers offer, to stop them offering unrealistically cheap deals to get customers which they then can't fulfil, so that is one part. the other thing is the regulator will look at how strong are these companies. there was a huge flood of new entrants to the market. we went from the big six to 70 companies and may end up with ten. the regulator says we should be looking at how resilient these companies were and how able they were to withstand a shot like that. a lot of people in the market saying this is what the sensible regulator should have been doing in the first place, rather than piling in as many entrants as you could, kicking and that i had to see where they were strong enough to withhold a shock like that. but as you say, they have this consultation, they will go away and ask people how we should change the way the markets are regulated, how the cap is calculated, and report back by february of next year in time for the next cap to be said which is due to be set in february for introduction in april. whatever the result of the consultation, we can be sure energy bills will go very sharply higher when those things are reset because the cost of this crisis will have to be paid back. the clear up has begun in cumbria after some a0 homes were flooded due to torrential rain. across the borders and north west england there has been major road and rail travel disrupted. the met office has issued a yellow warning, meaning some disruption is possible, and the environment agency has a number of flood warnings in place. megan paterson is in in cockermouth in cumbria. well, as you can see, the river here in cockermouth still looks like a force to be reckoned with this afternoon. within the last few minutes, we've seen a cumbria county council worker come here to take pictures of the structural integrity of the bridge. the reassuring thing, though, is that the water has receded considerably here. you can see by the line of leaves left by the river on the ground here that the river has gone down and that's the case across the county. river levels have peaked. the lakes are levelling out. the environment agency says that this is an improving situation although it still will continue to rain for the next few hours. people are being advised to stay vigilant. we haven't had any more reports of flooding to properties, that a0 you mentioned, but hopefully there shouldn't be any more today. the environment agency saying the rain should ease off and that the river catchment area should be able to cope with that. unfortunately, there has been disruption to the roads. localised flooding making it difficult to get around for some people in cumbria today. and for people trying to travel through the county, on the west coast mainline, that's been very difficult too. the weather affecting west coast rail services. we expect by later this afternoon, those services should get back to some sense of normality, although people are still being advised not to travel if they don't have to do. the weather warning is still in place here. it's been downgraded from that amber level last night. so the next 2a hours we expect some rain but not as bad as we've seen the previous two days. there's a sense of relief here in cockermouth and elsewhere in cumbria that this time the flooding hasn't been as bad, but there's also a realisation, an acceptance that flooding
