translation: this crisis place in front of us radical— decisions that are not easy, but each hurdle also represents an opportunity that cannot be wasted. a former facebook employee turned whistle—blower has told the bbc what the company's rebrand could mean for consumer privacy. they're asking us to actually reveal even more personal data than they do today because they want us to fill our homes with microphones and sensors that they'll have complete access to, and then say, "just trust us." coming up on tonight's news watch, how can abc attract younger audience is more used to getting their news from social media. join us tonight from social media. join us tonight from 8:45pm on bbc news. the queen has been advised by her doctors to rest for at least the next two weeks. they've said she can undertake light, desk—based duties such as virtual audiences, but not any official visits. it means she won't be able to attend this year's festival of remembrance on saturday, november the 13th, but the palace said it was herfirm intention to remembrance sunday events the following day, sunday, the 14th of november. nine days ago, the queen cancel a trip to northern ireland on medical advice and later was a merchant she has been a night in hospital undergoing pulmonary medical checks. she returned to windsor castle the next act in good spirits but it was later announced he would not be attending the cop26 summit in glasgow the next week. i think what you can probably read is in two weeks' time, a steely determination to attend the remembrance service on whitehall in central london on the 14th of november. and the reason i say that is not only because the palace has said it is her firm intention to do so, but this fortnight essentially gives her a couple of weeks now of not travelling, not meeting people, only carrying out virtual engagements, light desk—based duties, to recover from what seems like a sort of bout of fatigue. you know, she's carried out, what, three different engagements in the last three days. she has smiled broadly through a couple of them. she doesn't appear to be actually unwell, as many of us would see it. but she's clearly been a bit too tired to do travel, either to northern ireland, that was cancelled last week, or to glasgow, that was cancelled this week. and the doctors have said, look, no more travel for a couple of weeks. she will miss the festival of remembrance. that happens on the evening before remembrance sunday, but she will get to remembrance sunday. and the reason i bang on about this is because it is absolutely the most important day in the queen's calendar. it's the most important day in the royal calendar, but it is a very important day for her personally. and the fact that it was marked up by the palace is indicative, i think, of what this fortnight is about. it's just a chance to say, look, there's not much in the diary, in the diary, but we're not going to do any travel. we are going to keep it and keep the queen in windsor, and we will be back on remembrance sunday on the 14th. a woman has been found guilty of murder after stabbing her husband to death following a row over a birthday meal. penelope jackson, who's 66, attacked david jackson, who was 12 years older, with a kitchen knife at their home in somerset in february. mrs jackson claimed he was violent and coercively controlling. she was sentenced to life in prison at bristol crown court. our correspondent andrew plant reports. february this year, and police arrive at a bungalow on the somerset coast. hello, madam. do you want to just step outside for me a minute? can you come outside? yes. 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. as she waited for the police, she told 999 she stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife. while she waited, penny jackson wrote this note entitled confession. she said, "i have taken so much abuse over the years," adding, "may he rot in hell." in court, the retired accountant said she was ashamed of what she'd said and done. she'd admitted manslaughter, but denied murder, claiming she'd been subjected to coercion, control and physical violence throughout their 24—year marriage. but the judge said it was pennyjackson who'd been the controlling one in their marriage. he said he had no doubt that she'd intended to kill her husband, and he added she'd shown not one shred of remorse for what she'd done throughout this whole trial. there's only been one voice in this trial, and that's of 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 judgment on. david and penny's daughter read a statement in court. she said from the moment an officer knocked on her door in february, her world changed forever and she knew she'd lost not only her dad, but her mum, too. the french ambassador to the uk has been to the foreign office after being summoned by the uk government in the escalating and increasingly acrimonious row between the two countries over post—brexit fishing rights. earlier, a british government minister had warned of potential retaliation if uk trawlers were blocked from landing their catches at french ports. let's get the latest from our political correspondent alex forsyth. jersey is on the front line of the fight over fishing rights, caught in an escalating row. authorities here and across the uk say they have issued licences to french boats that can prove a history of fishing these waters, as agreed after brexit. but france says dozens have been unfairly denied. the local fishermen, like their counterparts across the channel, are frustrated and worried. the feeling amongst the fleet yesterday was one of absolute despair. certainly, there are really difficult times ahead and our big worry down here is how are we going to try and preserve the fleet and come out the other end with a fishing fleet intact. this week, a british trawler was detained by french authorities in a dispute over paperwork, a warning shot about what might follow. france has threatened further checks on vessels, said it could stop british boats landing at french ports, even suggested it could disrupt cross—channel trade or energy supplies. today, uk ministers said they were prepared to retaliate. two can play at that game, is what i would say, but in the first instance, what we're doing is raising this with the european commission. it's always open to us to increase the enforcement that we do on french vessels, to board more of them, if that's what they're doing to our vessels. today, the french ambassador was summoned to the foreign office, a rare public rebuke for the threats made. but while the language on both sides is ramping up, they are still talking. both here and in france, fishing is an emotional issue which carries political clout. borisjohnson promised british fishermen brexit would mean a better deal. in france, president macron is facing an election, which brings its own pressures. both sides have reasons to take a tough stance but both know a serious escalation could be damaging. this spring, french boats staged a protest offjersey over the same issue. the uk says it wants a diplomatic solution to this ongoing dispute. france has set a deadline of tuesday for it to be resolved. there is a time for flexing muscles and putting, you know, _ your trump cards on the table. there are times for negotiations. the next step is really negotiation. this afternoon, the prime minister left downing street to head to rome to meet world leaders, including president macron, who arrived earlier. there, the two are expected to have talks on the fringes, to see if they can relieve this tension. let's continue the conversation with the president of thejersey fishermen�*s association, don thompson, who was featured in that report. thank you very much for being with us on bbc news tonight. the british government is talking about proportionate retaliation. what are the states doing about this? good evenina. the states doing about this? good evening- well. — the states doing about this? good evening. well, fishing _ the states doing about this? (13mm evening. well, fishing industry, export merchants and free people met with our own government ministers this afternoon to discuss what is an escalating situation. certainly we have now received notice that french ports have been closed, and we are now looking at a situation where french fencing vessels ? fishing vessels are doing to fish in our waters onjersey vessels are doing to fish in our waters on jersey licenses or licenses issued byjersey whilst we are banned from landing in the french ports, no access to fresh markets. so, it has now gone beyond threats. ~ . . markets. so, it

what are the implications or the effects of you _ threats. what are the implications or the effects of you not _ threats. what are the implications or the effects of you not being - threats. what are the implications | or the effects of you not being able to land your catch in france? obviously the condo market has always been an important one, although france is merely a gateway for us. italian and spanish and portuguese markets are more important. but the situation really and the threats that have been used artist proportionate to the issue. i think if it can be moved out of the political arena and the correct level of officials deal with what is a pretty clear—cut situation. vessels need to prove that they previously fished here and they will receive a licence. in fact, all french fishermen on nearby coasts are actually quite content that they have received their licenses and are already fishing. so, is a bit of a bizarre situation right now. it is bizarre situation right now. it is bizarre situation right now. it is bizarre and _ bizarre situation right now. it is bizarre and it _ bizarre situation right now. it is bizarre and it must _ bizarre situation right now. it is bizarre and it must look even more bizarre and it must look even more bizarre from where you are because the channel islands are kind of not part of the uk or france and yet here are these two countries kind of sizing each other up and looking at ways to resolve this and maybe using a bit a black male on both sides when it suits their cause using some of the political rhetoric you talk about and taking it the political arena. are you kind of feel like you arena. are you kind of feel like you are being used as a political football here argument by both sides? we football here argument by both sides? ~ ., , ., , sides? we feel a little bit as that's something _ sides? we feel a little bit as that's something that - sides? we feel a little bit as - that's something that happened right through the brakes and negotiations, and jersey to some extent has been drawn into something that is a larger issue between france and the uk. butjust to put into context what's going on here, france is demanding licenses for vessels that effectively did not have permits and have no logbook data showing that they fished here. so effectively to issue licenses to those vessels that france they had been denied would be issuing licenses to vessels which have proven that they would have been illegally fishing. so, bizarrely, we are asking do you want us to license them or do you want us to find them for illegal fishing? so there is nothing funny about the current situation.— there is nothing funny about the current situation. presumably you would as a — current situation. presumably you would as a fisherman _ current situation. presumably you would as a fisherman yourself- current situation. presumably you would as a fisherman yourself at i would as a fisherman yourself at least empathise even if you don't like the way this is handled with the position that some french fishermen find themselves in when they say we've been fishing in these waters for years but had never been asked to provide this information before it suddenly you say we can only do any fishing if you provide this information. some of us and they don't have the technology to do it anyway. they don't have the technology to do it an a . . �* , they don't have the technology to do itan a. ., �*, ., they don't have the technology to do itan a. ., . it anyway. that's not quite correct. there are differences _ it anyway. that's not quite correct. there are differences statutory - there are differences statutory requirement for over 20 years for all the eu vessels working in our waters to provide and to log all catch data and under the previous training that we worked under, they had to provide that data on an annual basis. the french always refused to provide that data, and now they are saying that they did not know that they would need it. well, that'sjust not know that they would need it. well, that's just simply not correct. it's rather black—and—white. if they were fishing here, they will have received licenses.— received licenses. sorry to interrupt _ received licenses. sorry to interrupt but _ received licenses. sorry to interrupt but i _ received licenses. sorry to interrupt but i want - received licenses. sorry to interrupt but i want to - received licenses. sorry to interrupt but i want to be l received licenses. sorry to - interrupt but i want to be clear before we finish, so it really from your point of view, the french government arbours are surveying this when i said at the time there was controversy over these licenses and hang on a minute, you are disallowing fishermen who have traditionally fished here for years because they did not have the technology provide this information but you were saying that his bulk and they would've had to provide it to the french before.— to the french before. absolutely. and we do _ to the french before. absolutely. and we do know _ to the french before. absolutely. and we do know that

have been issued. to issue more licenses would be bringing vessels from outside of this area that previously never fished here, and we are already at a stage where was wanted you to licenses issued, where the stocks are really at threat and everyone is forgot about the sustainability of the fish stocks. they are already in a situation where if all those vessels that have received licenses continue to fish, there will be major issues over sustainability of the stock. that is an issue point thatis the stock. that is an issue point that is being perhaps lost in the political argument. dan that is being perhaps lost in the political argument. don thompson, - resident political argument. don thompson, president of — political argument. don thompson, president of the _ political argument.

suspect we will be talking to us i suspect we will be talking to us i suspect we will be talking to you again in the course of the coming week as we see how things develop on tuesday. for now, thanks so much. see minutes after 8pm let's look at the headlines. the queen has been advised to rest from public duties for two weeks following worries about her health. penelope jackson stabbed her husband david three times with a kitchen knife, admitting the attack when police made their arrest. sentenced to life of the 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. three days before the crucial climate summit cop26 gets under way in glasgow, the pope has called on the global leaders attending it to make radical decisions and offer hope to the world. in a message recorded for the bbc, pope francis called on all those at the summit to act now to tackle global warming and rising emissions. later, he met the us presidentjoe biden, who's in rome for a summit of g20 leaders. in a statement, the white house said the president had praised pope francis' leadership in fighting the climate crisis. our north america editorjon sopel is travelling with president biden. he sent this report. the ruler of the world's pre—eminent superpower en route to meet the world's most powerful religious leader. but forjoe biden, only america's second roman catholic president, this is an audience with his spiritual guide, and clearly someone he admires enormously. you are the most significant warrior for peace i have ever met. and with your permission, i'd like to be able to give you a coin. i know my son would want me to give you this to you. the president gave him a coin as a gift, and thenjoked about his irish heritage. i'm the only irishman you've ever met who's never had a drink! and the pope chose the bbc today, in particular thought for the day on radio 4, to deliver a firm message to the political elite ahead of next week's crucial cop26 summit. translation: the political- decision-makers who will meet at cop26 in glasgow are urgently summoned to provide effective responses to the present ecological crisis, and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations. joe biden agrees with the pope about the urgency, but will words be matched by actions? the motorcades will be sweeping through rome this weekend, through glasgow next week, world leaders tasked with saving the planet. so, no big deal, then. around the world, there have been protests of varying size to chivvy world leaders into action. this was the scene in tel aviv today. in glasgow, outside where the summit will be held next week, the demonstrators seem to be outnumbered by security guards. and in london, greta thunberg was the star attraction. she's buried somewhere in this mob of photographers. and she had this message for president biden. when you are leader of the most powerful country in the world, i you have lots of responsibilities. and when the us is actually, in fact, expanding fossil- fuel infrastructure, that is a clear sign| that they are not really treating - the climate crisis as an emergency. and this salvo to other nations from the former california governor and terminator star. all of those countries that come and give speeches, "we are not going to go and lose jobs because of going greener", they're liars. they're alljust stupid, and they don't know how to do it. joe biden, on this trip to europe, wants to show that america is leading the world and climate change. but his 85—vehicle convoy, most of which were flown in from the us, may not be leading by example. or in this holy city, practising what you preach. the un secretary—general antonio guterres has also been speaking before c0 p26. he has warned that there is a serious risk that the climate summit will not deliver, and he said some tough decisions need to be taken. there is a serious risk that glasgow will not deliver. several recent climate announcements might leave the impression of a rosier picture. unfortunately, this is an illusion. the current national determined contributions formal commitments by governments still condemn the world to a calamitous 2.7—degree increase. even if recent pledges were clear and credible, and there are serious questions about some of them, we are still hurtling towards climate catastrophe. under the best—case scenario, temperatures will still rise well above two degrees, and that is a disaster. as we saw injon sopel�*s report, the climate activist greta thunberg bbc news will be at the conference from sunday. annita mcveigh will begin our coverage from nine o'clock gmt. don't coverage from nine o'clock gmt. forget the clocks saturday don't forget the clocks change saturday night going into sunday. christian fraser will be on later in the day. there will be interviews with participants and campaigners. and our correspondents around the world will look at the challenges faced by big emitters china, the us, the eu, india and russia. that all begins on sunday here on bbc news. treatment for the menopause is to be made cheaper, with the government announcing that prescription charges for hormone replacement therapy, or hrt, in england will be significantly reduced. women will now only have to pay once a year for hrt prescriptions, which the government says could save up to around £200 annually. in scotland, northern ireland and wales, prescriptions are free. our political correspondent helen catt reports. cheering. they're menopausal, and they came to parliament square to shout about what that means. among them, some famous faces who've made breaking taboos around the menopause a personal mission. i'm trying to help one woman at a time, but in there, we just saw the start of something where it feels like all women will get help. it wasn't political. it was, like, it was the beginning of a female revolution. i'm postmenopausal so... for many women, the symptoms that come with menopause can be a shock. it affected the way- i was thinking and feeling. yeah, from confidence to mood swings to brain fog. _ adelle now combines running this pub in kent with helping other women through a life stage that she found challenging. i felt like i'd just- completely lost myself. and at the time, ijust l didn't know what it was. sorry. no, not at all. it was menopause, and this is why i do what i do, - because ijust didn't- want another woman... ..to look in the mirror and lose themselves like i did. - adelle says hormone replacement therapy helped her. it's free on the nhs in scotland, wales and northern ireland, but has to be paid for in england. adelle's patches cost £9.35 a time on the nhs, but other women can face a double charge if their treatment contains two hormones. in the house of commons, a labour mp who's been a leading campaigner on menopause pushed for change. there's no avoiding the menopause for half of the population. most women will spend at least a third of their lives either perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or thejoy, menopausal. we must ensure that for those women who need it, they are not denied hrt because of financial restraints. the minister agreed. she said she would look at the charging policy for treatments which contain two hormones. she also said doctors would be able to prescribe a year's worth of hrt for the cost a woman would usually pay for one batch. i can tell the house that we will amend the regulations to reduce the costs and improve access to hrt, so instead of paying for a repeat prescription every month, or every three months, the prescriber can issue a batch of prescriptions for up to 12 months, with one signature and one prescription charge. so, hrt won't be free in england, but it will cost less. another step in what seems to be a growing move to make real changes for women at a crucial stage of their lives. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. rachel chairs to menopause caf which runs worldwide we people can drink tea and talk about the menopause which is perhaps over to both find the work that caf s do and can up to be people like they feel like they have some hope to get through the menopause and cope with the effects of it. can you just tell us for the men and for the minority women who don't experience the effects, the worst effects of menopause, what are they? the main effects are physical, _ menopause, what are they? the main effects are physical, emotional- menopause, what are they? the main effects are physical, emotional and i effects are physical, emotional and i have forgotten the win because brain fog, cognitive functioning, one of the mood swings. physical and hot flashes or will everyone talks about but actually the ones that are often as troubling if not more so are conventional dryness which can happen any time or during penetrative six or i forgot them again, hot flashes, insomnia, dry skin, there are about 33 different symptoms and the emotional ones commitment people go into the menopause feel more anxious or more depressed or mood swings going up and down. if you live or with anybody going to the menopause be they women, trans man, non—binary, it is not matter what their gender is, you will notice these symptoms was a bit like living with a teenager i bolted

start talking about menopause and remove some of the stigma. menopause and remove some of the stiuma. ., �* ., , ., stigma. you're right about statement as i can stigma. you're right about statement

fantasy, whether or not they themselves are going to get pregnant. menopause habits to more employees in print as he does commence with the very least we should have the same level of knowledge and understanding in the workplace and it usually goes on for a lot longer the pregnancy as well. so a bit of equity there would be useful and families, i'm convinced a lot of relationships break up two to menopause, which perhaps did not need to break up if there was more understanding about lubrication or not taking it personally if they don't have six with you any more they still you. equally i'm sure some relationships break up that should are broken up along time ago because menopause is not all bad for some it makes us put ourselves first and sometimes for the very first time in a person's lie. so a kick in the back side saying it to look after your physical and mental wellbeing and put yourself first for a change and that can mean being less nice to some people we live with, which they

president macron in rome ahead of the 28th of the route with france of about 50 rights and northern ireland is about more than just the two of them. make no mistake, he says, not just for europeans but for all their partners because when you spend years negotiating a treaty and then a few months later, you do the opposite of what was decided on the aspects, it is not a big sign of your credibility. very pointed remarks to borisjohnson which you may want to repeat when they have their brush past as it's called a diplomatic language in rome tomorrow and begin to wonder if it might turn to a brushoff. you can about this on the papers at 10:30pm and 11:30pm and my guess will be yasmin and martin and they will be lots of them to talk about. join us and for that but first a look at the weather with being rich. more ram to forecasted this weekend but the various bands will move through it quickly so it will be running all the time in one area clearing off eastwards and another pushing in from the west overnight and it between a slice of clear skies allowing it to get a little bit chilly at five degrees in aberdeen for example but 11 or cardiff and in between a slice of clear skies allowing it to get a little bit chilly at five degrees in aberdeen for example but 11 or cardiff in plymouth by the end of the night in a little bit milder start off with cloud and rain. that will push its way eastwards through the day tomorrow with brightest sky following him behind. northern ireland will start off with some sunshine with the sunny skies spreading across western scotland certainly in the book of any wells and albeit we one or two showers and temperatures between 11 and 15 and it for sunday we see another dose of wet weather and again this band of rain should move north eastwards quite quickly but some of the ring will be really happy with heavy showers falling behind coming by strong winds which could touch gale force around western coast was of there will be some spells of sunshine and highs of 10—13. hello this is bbc news. the headlines. the queen has been advised to rest or her public duties for two weeks for worries about her health. a woman

activist greta thunberg has been telling the bbc what she hopes can be achieved at cop26. she was speaking just before joining a protest in the city of london against the use of fossil fuels you can see her with other activists there. let's hear a little more of her interview with andrew marr. let me ask about the most powerful person coming to cop26, president biden. he hasjust announced a £500 billion plan to deal with climate change and has been working very, very hard with congress and so forth. how well do you think he is doing and could he be a real leader on climate change? of course everybody has the possibility but if they he continues right now, no. ijust wonder what more he can do? he is challenging in the courts to stop mining and oil extraction on federal land. he is using up all his political capital in congress to try to get this through. he is working quite hard. we all understand, activists, we understand this doesn't fall on one single person, but of course when you are a leader of the most powerful country in the world, you have lots of responsibility. when the us is expanding fossil fuel infrastructure it is a clear sign they are not really treating the climate crisis as an emergency. was it fair in retrospect to say blah blah blah about him? it was not directed to one person. i took lots of quotes from lots of them, lots of world leaders to say blah blah blah, but i think so. and but i think so. you can see that interview on the and you can see that interview on the andrew marshall on sunday morning beginning at nine o'clock and as i mentioned, don't forget the clocks change this weekend. so it's not called gmt. you shouldn't miss it because you get that extra hour in bed. uk recorded high level of covid infection last friday more than any

jobs. our health editor hugh pym explained. boosterjabs like these being delivered in leeds today are seen by ministers as vital in the drive to keep the head of the virus. they are offered six months after a second dose, but from today, there will be flexibility on that, with some getting the jabs more quickly, including in care homes. what we have done now is working with the nhs is to say that you can have more flexibility and be more pragmatic on the timing, and what that really means is if someone is very close to the six—month point but not quite there, then the nhs can just be pragmatic. so, for example, if someone, a doctor, is visiting a care home and there might be one or two residents that are just short of the six—month point, they use their discretion. infections among school children have been one of the main factors in the recent rise in covid cases. overall numbers are now falling a little, but half—term may be part of the as fewer pupils come forward for tests. the office for national statistics does regular household testing, which picks up the underlying trend. the latest ons survey suggests that last week 1.3 million people in the uk had the virus, higher than injanuary. in england, one in 50 people have the virus, in wales, it was 1 and a0. in both scotland and northern ireland, one in 75 people. there were increases in all the uk's nations. so what might the ons data tell us about this week when it's published? i wouldn't be surprised to see a reduction in our data in the next week or so. however, what we saw this time last year was that little half—term reduction followed by a significant increase. so, i really am not being complacent there. covid hospital admissions are about a quarter of a level they were in january, thanks to protection offered by vaccines. but there are warnings that the months ahead could yet be challenging, with the spread of the virus. we seem to have stalled at a high level of infection, which is not where we want to be as we move into winter. it is really difficult to tell what is going to happen next. we could have exponential growth, or we could see a gradual decline. wales has the highest infection rates in the uk, and new measures are being brought into tackle the virus. covid passes are being extended to cinemas, theatres and concert halls and other venues may yet be included. the first minister said the pandemic is from over. hugh pym, bbc news. now to the latest covid data from the uk government. time last winter. in the past 2a hours, 43,167 people have tested positive, the office for national with 186 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. meanwhile, almost 80% of the population aged 12 and over have had two doses of a vaccine. with facebook changing its corporate name to meta a former employee turned whistle blower, frances haugen, has told the bbc that the social networking giant's rebrand is an attempt to save its image and sweep structural problems under the carpet. she's been speaking to our specialist disinformation reporter marianna spring. today was the first time when she spoke to me when she's reacted to this name change and this venture from facebook, or as it's now called meta, into the metaverse this new video game world that they are announcing and launching. she explained to me her concerns about the decision to focus and invest in this as opposed to user safety, which she has been raising the alarm about. i was really shocked to see the rebrand in the last couple of days, yesterday versus last week. because a big reason why they have tackled and anti—vax content but they haven't tackled that misogyny content is theyjust don't have enough people working on safety. and i was shocked that they could afford 10,000 new engineers working on video games, but they couldn't keep women safe. when she was talking about hate targeting women there, she was referring to a panorama investigation where we had looked into hate online and what we found was that a dummy troll account that we set up was pushed more and more anti— in content on facebook and instagram. they told us that they tried to not promote harmful content and that they tackle hate, but she is concerned that this investment is going into software engineers, as she explained, to do with video games as opposed to protecting women or other users on their platforms. she also spoke extensively about her concerns to do with the metaverse and this new technology, and particularly her concerns about transparency and also about privacy, and she explained that to me. everything i have seen so far about the switch towards video games has given me great pause, because a core part of what has allowed facebook to go off the rails is a lack of transparency. i've seen nothing from them committing to public data, to getting access to academics, and yet, they are asking us to actually reveal even more personal data than they do today because they want us to fill our homes with microphones and sensors that they will have complete access to, and then say, "just trust us." so ijust don't understand why we would want facebook to penetrate — even further into our lives when they haven't demonstrated a commitment to keeping us safe. i don't want facebook�*s microphones in my home. she also praised what's happening here in the uk with online safety legislation, and that is what mps are discussing. its proposed legislation that could enforce a duty of care on the social media sites to their users, and it's something that she is actively encouraging, particularly because it's more advanced here in the uk than it is in the us. but she does have concerns about loopholes in that bell that she fears facebook could be prepared to exploit in order to protect itself from regulation. i think it's really important for us to make sure that we close the loopholes in regulations, so, for example, if we have an exemption for political speech, i think it's going to be used it to exempt any bad behaviour, like someone calling for the death of an mp is going to be considered political speech. so i think it's really important for us to stand our ground and make sure that we have regulations that actually have enough teeth and then to make sure we hold facebook responsible. i think the uk has an amazing advantage, which is you guys have been really paying attention to this and playing a huge amount of ground work over years. the us is just not as far along on thatjourney, so i think unquestionably, whatever you guys pass is going to be like a light in the darkness, and it's going to give a scaffold at least for whatever the united states will do. in response to her claims, facebook told us that they have no commercial or moral incentive in providing anything other than a positive experience to lots of their users, and that they are committed to both privacy and safety when it comes to the new metaverse. now francis is visiting other european countries where she will again be commenting to policymakers about her fears that user safety is not being prioritised by facebook. 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. ofgem 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 shock 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. it's exactly a quarter to nine. the headlines. the queens been advised to rest from public duties for
