lord frost heads to paris to meet france's europe minister in paris in an attempt to end a bitter dispute over post—brexit fishing rights. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. scientists researching the effectiveness of the hpv vaccine have produced the first major study which they say shows that it's reducing rates of cervical cancer by almost 90% in some age groups. one of the lead researchers has described the impact of the uk vaccination programme as "huge". the charity cancer research uk says the findings are "historic". here's more from our health correspondent, dominic hughes. almost all cases of cervical cancer are linked to the human papillomavirus. the hpv vaccine programme targeting the virus itself was introduced in the uk in 2008, when girls aged between 11 and 13 were first offered the jab. and since september 2019, boys of the same age have also been eligible. now, the first real world study of the vaccine shows it's had a dramatic effect. cervical cancer rates were 87% lower in girls who were offered the vaccine when aged 12 and 13. it's estimated that by mid—2019, the hpvjab programme had prevented around a50 cervical cancers, and around 17,200 precancers, all of which would have needed some medical intervention. this study looked at people who both had the vaccine for hpv and were screened by cervical cancer. so cervical screening still remains important. as the vaccine gets taken up, more and more people are vaccinated, we might see changes to what the screening programme looks like. so that might be how often you go in, or what the test looks like. but for now, it's still really important that if you're invited to cervical screening to consider going. currently, cervical cancer claims the lives of around 850 women in the uk every year. but the researchers believe that in the future, a combination of the vaccine and screening could mean hardly anyone goes on to develop the disease. they say it's a testament to the power of science to protect the lives of thousands of women. dominic hughes, bbc news. karis betts, health information manager at cancer research uk, said more research was needed to see whether women receiving the vaccine continued to be protected at high rates later in life, and women should still attend screenings — but hopefully the vaccine programme would lead to cervical cancer becoming a rare disease. it's a start. it is a massive moment. it is really great to have a great new story as well at the moment. we have seen massive numbers, 90% almost reduction in cervical cancer rates is something to be really celebrated. its cervical cancer rates is something to be really celebrated.— to be really celebrated. its quite limited, though, _ to be really celebrated. its quite limited, though, the _ to be really celebrated. its quite limited, though, the age - to be really celebrated. its quite limited, though, the age range l to be really celebrated. its quite i limited, though, the age range that has been looked out over this given that the vaccination programme only started being rolled out from 2008. so how much is it possible to translate that cohort with what might happen later in life when cervical cancer rates are already low anyway in that particular age group? it’s low anyway in that particular age i rou . ? �* , ., ., low anyway in that particular age irou? ., , ., group? it's a great question. the research looked _ group? it's a great question. the research looked at _ group? it's a great question. the research looked at different - group? it's a great question. the i research looked at different cohorts and different groups of women as they were being vaccinated at school and now they are coming up to screening age. research will continue to see what happens further down the line but we know that with hpv vaccine and with screening, cervical screening are still really important and those two things together will provide lasting protection against cervical cancer. why do you think the vaccine seems to be so efficient when actually there are many different strains of hpv and the vaccine doesn't protect against all of them? the hpv and the vaccine doesn't protect against all of them?— against all of them? the vaccine rotects against all of them? the vaccine protects against _ against all of them? the vaccine protects against the _ against all of them? the vaccine protects against the two - against all of them? the vaccine protects against the two main i against all of them? the vaccine . protects against the two main types of hpv that cause cervical cancer, hpv 16 and 18 which goes about 70% of cervical cancer, by protecting against the two main ones, we see the vaccine being really effective because cervical cancer almost all cases are caused by hpv. attacking at the source, preventing cervical cancer. ? you are saying it is important for people to continue to get screening when they are cold, cervical screening has been a difficult issue with women not always taking up the call to go for it when it comes through. are always taking up the call to go for it when it comes through. are you concerned — it when it comes through. are you concerned that _ it when it comes through. are you concerned that the _ it when it comes through. are you concerned that the headline - it when it comes through. are you . concerned that the headline message from judy's survey might lead people to think that actually there is not going to be a need for the screening going to be a need for the screening going forward? it is going to be a need for the screening going forward?— going forward? it is important to continue to _ going forward? it is important to continue to educate _ going forward? it is important to continue to educate people, - going forward? it is important to continue to educate people, the | continue to educate people, the study was based on people who had the vaccine and screening, making sure people are not forgetting that, screening is still really important. the vaccine does not prevent against all of the types of hpv that cause cervical cancer, so although the vaccine is great and we have seen massive reductions of 90%, it's not 100%, it is really important that people are still taking up the screening invitation when invited and not only that, it is for healthy people with no symptoms. if you notice a change to your body, bleeding when you're not on your period or pain, that could be a symptom and you should get your symptoms checked out. potentially, an one symptoms checked out. potentially, anyone going _ symptoms checked out. potentially, anyone going forward _ symptoms checked out. potentially, anyone going forward with _ symptoms checked out. potentially, anyone going forward with the - anyone going forward with the vaccination programme will be eligible for it as has been the case for a number of years, could cervical cancer be on the way out? it is something we hope to see and would like to see, it is decades away, i will never get down to zero but we can get it down to very small numbers which we call elimination and that will be through a combination of both vaccination and screening. the screening programme may change over the years depending on what the uptake is like and how these results come out and what we are seeing at different ages. it's a really positive story. it's a great picture. really positive story. it's a great icture. �* ., , really positive story. it's a great icture. �* . , ., really positive story. it's a great icture. �* ., , ., . , picture. are there any other cancers that may be — picture. are there any other cancers that may be affected _ picture. are there any other cancers that may be affected by _ picture. are there any other cancers that may be affected by this - picture. are there any other cancers that may be affected by this that. that may be affected by this that are linked to the hpv virus?

hpv is linked to other cancer types, - linked to other cancer types, genital cancer and cancer of the mouth and throat, this science is not there yet, the research is not there yet to see whether the hpv vaccine has reduced these cases. but there are good indications that that might be what is happening, so more research is needed and we hope to see at effective against other cancer types too. a man has been charged in australia in connection with the kidnapping of cleo smith — the four—year—old girl who went missing from a campsite in the earlier this month. she's now returned home with her parents, after being discovered in a locked house. i spoke to our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil who has been following the story earlier and she started off by telling me about the charges against the suspect that has been arrested in connection with cleo's disappearance we have a name and charges laid against a 36—year—old man who we knew was being questioned for two days, we know that terence darrell kelly has appeared in court and was charged with cleo smith's abduction. police have been questioning him for the past two days. he was arrested on a street in the western australian town, he is from that same time, and we know that this is where cleo smith was found as well. she was found in a locked house and she was rescued by policemen who smashed their way into the house overnight on tuesday. she identified herself, she told them, they three times what her name was and she said what her name was undertook to the hospital where she was reunited with her family. hospital where she was reunited with herfamily. we know that hospital where she was reunited with her family. we know that the investigation is continuing, the police have been reluctant to share details, earlier in the day, in a few hours ago, they shared the ordeal of that moment, the dramatic moment when they went into the house and realise that they had got her and realise that they had got her and you could hear her voice saying my name is cleo. they did not release the video because it contained evidence linked to the investigation. more about the house, the environment that she was in, what the room look like, we know the lights were on, she was playing with toys, she was awake, we do not know much more. essentially, they are looking at two main locations, the campsite 900 kilometres away from her hometown, where she disappeared, and where it is alleged that he abducted her, and her hometown where she was found. the investigation still continues, they are sifting through so many pieces of data, and this is why they are reluctant to share details but i can tell you even though this information has now been revealed about that man, he has been revealed about that man, he has been charged, the community itself are celebrating very happy for the family that they have their child with them for the first time in more than two weeks. let's speak now to eddie smith, he's the shire president of carnarvon. how did you hear about the fact that cleo smith had been found safe and well?

and their persistence and patience paid off in the end because i don't know the whole detail yet, but through the amount of work we did, they were able to trace where she was. and we got the outcome

that the amount of c02 released into the atmosphere will rise by almost the same amount that it decreased in 2020. experts say the report underlines the urgency of action needed at summits like cop26. meanwhile at that global climate conference in glasgow, a further 18 countries have agreed to a plan to stop using coal power plants. it brings the total number of countries backing the plan to a0. but some of the world's largest coal users, including china and the us, have not signed up. coal is the single biggest contributor to climate change. well, i spoke to riccardo puliti, vice president for infrastructure at the world bank, and asked him about this new commitment on coal. it is very relevant as you rightly said, coal is the biggest emitter of c02 so it's a major contribution to climate change and it is really necessary that as many countries as possible have a transition away from coal. it is necessary to retire to two assets and repurposed the assets where coal was based. it is necessary to make sure that the population, the workers are treated in a fair way so that we have all the consensus necessary to move away from coal. as soon as possible. what from coal. as soon

economies have the energy mix based on coal, they will have to i mix based on coal, they will have to change their energy mix, to read real supply lines, to adapt transition wines in order to use other fuels other than coal, they will have to accelerate above all the replacement of coal by renewables. it has a lot of work ahead of us. at the world bank we are trying to help as many countries as possible to accelerate on the way out of coal and into as many renewables as possible. let's talk about this plan for countries to quit coal. josh burke is a senior policy fellow at the grantham research institute on climate change and the environment. thank you forjoining us. can you point to any model countries in terms of the move away from coal and how they had done it and how it could be a template? the how they had done it and how it could be a template?— how they had done it and how it could be a template? the uk has got a really strong _ could be a template? the uk has got a really

that can do a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of shifting the economics in favour of low carbon generation. in five years, the uk has gone from a position of having 40% electricity generated by coal to less than 2% nowadays. we have done that, but we have also grown our economy. there is a strong message coming out of this that we can do it, it is cost—effective, and it does not have to have an on economic growth or our competitiveness. in many parts of the world, because renewables are now cheap, this transition will also be affordable there too. ., , ., transition will also be affordable

mechanisms are right, throw lots of political will act out, you have a mechanism to support the development of cleaner alternatives that countries can switch to from coal. this transition needn't be as drawn—out as it should be. we need to accelerate the transition in many parts of the world. the message coming out today is that it's incredibly encouraging announcement, particularly countries that were previously resistant to change, the ukraine and poland, this is a really encouraging day. ukraine and poland, this is a really encouraging day-— ukraine and poland, this is a really

there are many countries who have committed. in terms of the state, joe biden has put forward a clean power 2035 package which should mean the end of all coal and gas generation that is unabated, by 2035 enemy, and with regard to china, we should also remember that they are built on clean electricity faster than any other country and they are stepping up other country and they are stepping up their efforts and energy efficiency to slow down electricity which should have a knock—on effect in reducing coal. but i suspect today's and a single put increasing pressure on the states and china to form an alliance to reduce coal. listening to you it sounds like a straightforward transition but there are places where the produce coal, the communities that depend on that particular infrastructure, how difficult is disrupt that? the uk had a really _ difficult is disrupt that? the uk had a really great _ difficult is disrupt that? the uk i had a really great transformation and the last five years, but what we didn't do very well was the initial transition i read thejob didn't do very well was the initial transition i read the job losses. job losses caused by the closure of coal fired job losses caused by the closure of coalfired power job losses caused by the closure of coal fired power stations had profound impacts on regional communities. it has to be managed, deep engagement with the communities, and what we saw in the uk and this will be the same in other countries that there is a lack of a plan, the social and economic ramifications will be far—reaching. there will be long felt. and as we saw with the coal mine closures in the uk, these still affect the labour market now and we still have high levels of unemployment in those regions. we need to plan and one of the great things that came out yesterday, i think, the great things that came out yesterday, ithink, was the great things that came out yesterday, i think, was that the uk with the eu and the us put forward a plan with south africa with billions of pounds committed to helping to phase out coal managed way. this will be a good model for other countries as the transition. thank ou ve countries as the transition. thank you very much- — 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming gave us the latest earlier. that, we are talking about the changes in mp standards. 0wen paterson had been suspended from the commons for 30 days as a result of what the standards committee called a breach in terms of lobbying. there was a vote yesterday supported by the government to change the whole system. labourand the government to change the whole system. labour and the snp had said that they will boycott the new system. let's get the latest from our political correspondent. 0wen paterson, the conservative mp, worked for two companies and was paid by them, which he is allowed to do within the parliamentary rules, but he was found by the independent parliamentary commissioner for standards and the committee for standards, which is made up of mps, to have overstepped the mark when it came to those rules and they recommended he be suspended for 30 days. that had to be approved by a vote in parliament and normally those votes go through. yesterday, instead, a group of conservative mps backed by the government used it as an opportunity to call for a change to the whole system for how mps are discipline. that vote went through and now there is going to be a new parliamentary committee that will investigate whether there should be a new appeals process added to the existing system for disciplining mps. now to labour and the labour leader keir starmer writing in an article in the guardian newspaper today, he said that amounts to corruption which is an upgrade to the language that labour have been using to describe this whole process. but that is what we are in now, a process. there will be this new committee which will investigate whether there should be an appeal system. labour and the snp say they are going to boycott that process, the government says this is just looking at whether the hr process in parliament for mps should be more like the hr process in a normal company. but it has aroused a lot of strong passion, it is quite controversial, it has still got quite a long way to go and in the meantime, 0wen paterson will remain undisciplined. chris bryant is the labour mp and chair of the parliament's committee on standards, which found against 0wen paterson. he was asked why paterson couldn't have an appeal. he has had an appeal and a fair process. i have asked three former high court judges whether they think the process was entirely a fair hearing and they all say that in every single regard, this is nearly identical to what happens in every other workplace in the country. the part which is different, of course, is at the end of the day, some people yesterday decided, and this is the definition of injustice, at the very last minute, for a named individual, they would change the rules. that is not what we do in this country, it's what they do in russia when a friend or foe is suddenly under the cosh in the courts. russia? you think this is like russia? i think it is a perversion ofjustice. by definition, the rule of law is that you do not have retrospective legislation. britain's brexit minister, lord frost, is due in paris today for talks on a simmering dispute overfishing rights following britain's departure from the european union. he'll meet france's europe minister a day after a french court ordered the release of a british trawler impounded while fishing in french waters. 0ur paris correspondent hugh schofield told me about the mood of the talks as they get under way today. well, shall we say, it's a bit less dramatic and less scary than it was a few days ago. i mean, i think they've talked themselves a little bit off the brink. if you remember a few days ago, we were talking about french measures kicking in on tuesday which would mean british boats being unable to land their catches at french ports and checks at calais which could have led to some really severe disruption to trade across the channel. that's still a possibility because the french have not removed the threat of doing that if they don't get more licences, but certainly there are these talks going on, there are more talks tomorrow, macron has said that while negotiations are continuing, measures will not kick in. the boat has been released from le havre. so the mood is, shall we say, slightly more cooperative so there is a hope that we may have turned the corner. i understand that some extra licences have been given, though the numbers are all very unclear, it is possible, certainly everybody is that hoping at the end of this meeting today, there will be some kind of arrangement so that more licences are given, maybe not all the ones the french are asking for, and this whole threat of a trade war will recede somewhat. but it's far from clear that it will. and the suggestion that, obviously this isn't just about this issue, it's about how the relationship is going to be going forward after brexit. how much does domestic politics come into play in this? i dare say a certain amount. i think there is sometimes an impression in the uk that here in france we have tabloid newspapers that are sort of cheering macron to the hilt in the same way that some tabloid newspapers in britain quite enjoy the french bashing and are cheering borisjohnson in his campaign. there are no tabloid newspapers of that genre here. and this is not playing big in the press at all. so it's not as if there is an equivalent rally and chorus of voices saying, "go for it, macron," over here at all. that said, you know, he doesn't want to lose this fight. certainly, he sees himself as a european champion, and he believes that in standing up for the rights of french fishermen he is standing up for the rights of europe in this, and with elections approaching next april he will not want to be seen to be backing down. but there isn't this kind of whoop—whoop of nationalist kind of sentiment behind this issue that you might have expected if you looked at it from the british side where i know a lot of tabloids are quite enjoying the sort of classic frog bashing. the us special envoy for the horn of africa is to hold talks in ethiopia, as tigrayan rebels continue their advance. it's been a year since war broke out there, with thousands believed killed and millions of others wounded or displaced. the war unleashed one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis — and 12 months on, fighting continues to intensify. kalkidan yibeltal looks at what the costly war means for africa's second most populous state. a tragedy on a massive scale in which displacement and hunger are everyday realities for millions in northern ethiopia. fighting without an end in sight. a once vibrant economy that is now enfeebled by this war. the past 12 months have been one of the toughest for the east african country. it was supposed to be a short and surgical operation and the government forces and allies were winning it easily. over the following months, it evolved into a full—scale war. emboldened by military gains, rebel forces now talk about toppling the government. translation: why would the issue of negotiation be raised at this point? the war is coming to an end. who are we negotiating with? there have been repeated calls for negotiations but these calls have been rejected. talks in addis ababa are still about defeating the tigray forces who once dominated ethiopian politics for decades despite representing just 6% of the population. that dominance ended when abiy ahmed came to power in 2018 following popular protests. tensions continued to ferment and war was declared following an attack on an army base in the capital. translation: the pit - of the enemy dog is very deep. it will be where they themselves will be buried. north ethiopia disintegrates. with millions depending on aid and hundreds of thousands facing famine, humanitarian agencies fear things could get even worse. at the present moment, we do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. the message to all parties to a conflict is always the same, the earlier we find a political solution bringing us out of the conflict, the better it is. because let's not fool ourselves, even if the conflict stopped tomorrow, we will still have hundreds of thousands of people displaced and with enormous needs. the early promises of reform now seem to be in the dim distance. the next weeks and months are going to be crucial in deciding the direction of the war, but it is unlikely that peace will prevail. and for millions in northern ethiopia, the war has already taken its toll. this the headlines on bbc news — new research says the hpv vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by almost 90% — cancer

newjersey is predicted to have won re—election for a second term, but only by a wafer—thin margin over the republicans. the result, along with the earlier loss of the virginia governorship, suggests a loosening of the party's grip on power. in his victory speech, re—elected phil murphy said he had a message for the people of newjersey. so tonight, i renew my promise to you, whether you voted for me or not, to work every single day of the next four years to keep moving us forward. forward with renewed optimism to ensure greater opportunities for all 9.3 million who call the garden state their

living up to ourjersey values. the bbc�*s david willis updated us on reaction to the wins. there was a lot of concern in the democratic ranks after last night's results and some relief, i think, that phil murphy managed to pull it off. there were moments where it did not look as though that was going to be the case. for about 21t hours, mr murphy was neck and neck with his republican opponent,

delay of the suspension of an mp. mr delay of the suspension of an mp. i speaker, i am delay of the suspension of an mp. m speaker, i am also aware that last night's vote has created a certain amount

single case or applied retrospectively. ifeel based on a single case or applied retrospectively. i feel last night's debate completed the individual case with the general concern. this link needs to be broken. therefore, i and others will be looking to work on a cross—party basis to achieve improvements in our system for future cases. we will bring forward more detailed proposals once they have

many unsung heroes that keep this place going and we are grateful to them when they appear to know absolutely everything and i wish crispin poyser are very happy retirement from this place. i'd also like to wish everyone a happy diwali and make light shine upon us all. mr speaker, i'm frankly astonished by what the right honourable just set about separating the process of reviewing the standards process from an individual case. that was the choice that the side opposite, the members opposite made that choice yesterday to link the two. there is no separating them retrospectively. the right honourable gentleman has made much of the fact his government doesn't want to do retrospective rule change, so i'm friendly astonished by him. and a lot was said about the standards procedure not being in line with other workplaces. well, mr speaker, mps are holders of public office, we are not employees, we are subject to professional self—regulation, not employment law. if they want, they cannot pick and choose, if they want to be treated as employees of this house rather than officeholders, then alongside all the other employees they should be wearing masks. around the estate and in this chamber. because unfortunately, unlike when it comes to breaking rules about paid advocacy, a convivial and full fraternal spirit doesn't protect everyone else —— fraternal spirit. the government cannot have it both ways. can the right honourable gentleman asked his friends, do the right thing, where the masks? if not for themselves and each other, at least for the staff. mr speaker, on monday the committee for standards in public life published the 23rd report over 25 years have passed since the seven principles of public life were first introduced off the back of a previous escapade of tory sleaze and the government, and we are back there again must could the leader of there again must could the leader of the is confirm whether the government is going to endorse this report? 0r government is going to endorse this report? or if they don't like the recommendations, which i strongly suspect they don't, will theyjust abolish the committee? will they establish another sham committee so that the government can get the answers it wants? and yes, mr speaker, labourwill answers it wants? and yes, mr speaker, labour will not be participating in this sham committee the tories voted three yesterday, despite what the right honourable gentleman has just despite what the right honourable gentleman hasjust said. we despite what the right honourable gentleman has just said. we will look with interest at his proposals but we are not participating in a parallel process when my honourable friend with the chair of standards committee, behind me is doing such a greatjob with his committee members, a cross—party committee with lay members, so i have to ask the leader of the is, how is this other committee going to be resourced? has there been a proposal to estimates process? considering that it will risk wasting taxpayers' money, something i know the leader of the housed dislikes intensely, if you can't get it past estimates, could he ask one of his honourable friends to contribute some of their lobbying money? 0r friends to contribute some of their lobbying money? or will be he paying the chair�*s salary? as this side will not participate in the sham committee, will the leader of the is confirm, would it sit with tory members? how will it be decided who sits on it? whether it is the one voted through yesterday, or the other won the right honourable gentleman mentions this morning? can i also ask, given the business secretary's frankly disgraceful comments this morning, whether the right honourable gentleman agrees with him that the standards commissioner properly appointed should resign? is that his view, yes or no? mr speaker, to continue on the theme of standards, i ask the leader of the last week about an update in ministerial code because as i said last week six months have gone by since lord geidt was appointed as the new independent advisor but we still don't have that code. the government seem to think it is ok for mps to act as paid advocates for private companies so it is no surprise to me that they don't seem to have much regard to it, so will the leader of the please confirm when it will be polished all, orwhether confirm when it will be polished all, or whether they are going to get rid of that as well? mr speaker, this month is islamophobia awareness month. early in the week my honourable friend for manchester gorton raised this time a year ago he wrote to the prime minister raising concerns over islamophobia and a year on the prime minister still hasn't responded to my honourable friend. this is wholly unacceptable. can the leader of the house please ask the prime minister just when is he going to write back to my honourable friend? while he does that, i'm afraid to say, can he again reminders of the cabinet colleagues of their responsibilities to this house because i'm afraid we are still not getting timely, or indeed, in some cases, any answers to written parliamentary questions, letters or hotlines. finally, mr speaker, to avoid any, as the benches opposite have put it, any unfortunate coincidences between current cases and other committees and other processes, i'd like to ask the leader of the if he can have this opportunity, are there any other parliamentary procedures or committees that at some point he is likely to want to amend, abolish or duplicate, or is he going to wait until another one of his friends need saving? thank you, mr speaker. speaker: ., ., need saving? thank you, mr speaker. speaker:_ thank - need saving? thank you, mr speaker. speaker:_ thank you, |

speaker, may i join _ speaker: leader of the. thank you, mr speaker, may i join the - mr speaker, may ijoin the honourable lady in wishing people a happy diwali and that they enjoy their celebrations. i think there is a problem, mr speaker, with people writing their questions before they have heard what has been said because i actually made quite clear in my business statement that we need to proceed on a cross—party basis, and it is a matter of regret that there was no cross—party agreement yesterday. but obviously the committee cannot work effectively without opposition members on it, and that, i think, was absolutely clear from what i said. we need to ensure that we have standards in this place that are fair and robust, and standards in this place that are fairand robust, and are standards in this place that are fair and robust, and are seen to be fair and robust, and are seen to be fair and robust, and are seen to be fair and robust. and i would highlight the icy s system which has an appeal body, the independent experts panel, and the independent experts panel, and the independent experts panel, and the independent experts panel has on it a high court judge, somebody of the highest standing and legal training but that doesn't exist in standards cases and this is something that has been bubbling away for some time as people have seen the differential between the two. but i have course listened to the debate yesterday carefully and the comments made from across the house, and i absolutely recognise that it is important to proceed on a cross—party basis to have the highest standards within this house. ——icgs. but once that when they are implemented are fair to those to whom they implement it upon, that is what we will seek to achieve, and i hope the honourable lady and others will be willing to enter into this in a spirit of cooperation, as we did successfully with her predecessors over the icgs question to ensure it could be taken out of the standards committee and moved, although under the umbrella of the standards committee, moved to a much more independent process. i'm grateful to the honourable lady for raising the fact that this month is islamophobia awareness month, and as islamophobia awareness month, and as i have said many times in this month, i view it as my role to facilitate for this house answers to legitimate questions. this is a matter of priority for me. i do regularly remind my right and honourable friends of the need to respond and i will continue to do that, and i can assure her that i will take up with ten downing st the letter that was sent last year. as regards her question about, are there any other planned changes, i'm with palmerston, change, change, there is bad already. there as the procedure committee to consider alterations to our procedures which does invaluable work and is considering at the moment the question of whether proxy voting should be extended. so the honourable lady and all the members of this house will know that our proceedings, our processes have evolved. there was a lot of talk yesterday about 1695, and mr speaker, i'm sure you are aware that that related to a speaker, sirjohn trevor, who was given... that related to a speaker, sirjohn trevor, who was given. . .- that related to a speaker, sirjohn trevor, who was given... studio: we will leave

was - trevor, who was given... studio: we will leave the commons, that was a i will leave the commons, that was a swift and significant u—turn announced there by the leader of the is jacob rees—mogg on what is going to happen to mps' standards after that vote yesterday which saw labour accused the government of wallowing in sleaze after the government supported a vote that blocked the suspension of owen paterson who had been suspended from the house for 30 days after being found guilty of egregious breaches of mps' standards as a result of lobbying that he had done. there was that vote yesterday that the government intended to see bring in a new system with a new cross—party committee of mps, but that was immediately boycotted by labour, the snp and lib dems, which meant that that an option going forward, and so we have just heard jacob rees—mogg say it is important that standards in this house are done on a cross—party basis not the case that there is cross—party consensus will stop he said, i feel last night's vote conflated a single case with general concerns. so they will look to bring forward now cross—party plans. in terms of what it means for owen paterson, it is not clear at the moment because he was suspended for 30 days as a result of what had happened in his case, and what we are hearing their from jacob rees—mogg is the government wants to decouple that case with what is going to be happening on parliamentary standards going forward. so that's a really significant announcement there from jacob rees—mogg and we will get political reaction to it as soon as we can. 42 countries, including poland, vietnam and chile, have signed up to a plan to stop using coal—fired power stations. the pledges were made at the cop26 climate summit in glasgow. it's regarded as significant because burning coal is a major contributor to climate change. but big coal users china and the us are not on the list. today's talks at cop26 are all about clean energy. we can join bbc wales economics correspondent sarah dickins, who is in the welsh valleys at the biggest onshore wind farm anywhere in england and wales. that's right, this is pen y cymoedd, it's where those industrial valleys known around the world for producing coalin known around the world for producing coal in the past, now have this massive wind farm called pen y cymoedd, and it's actually run by a swedish state owned company called vattenfall and the ground is owned by the welsh government. there are 76 turbines here, and let's look at how big they are. right across the landscape, they are over 100 metres high, turning every day as the wind flows. but what is interesting is the amount of energy they produce actually supplies 200,000 homes. it's a £400 million project. as i say, money from the state owned company vattenfall. but half of that money was spent within the welsh economy, so an interesting mix of energy and the economy, if you like, and of course jobs were created. with

committee on mps' standards after opposition parties said they would boycott it. it meant the government's plans for how to manage mps' standards going forward were effectively dead in the water despite the government getting a majority on it. but there was of course the rebellion from mps on their own ranks. let's go to jonathan blake who is in westminster. well, jonathan, this was a quick and very significant u—turn. it was but the government was really left with very little choice this morning, i think, left with very little choice this morning, ithink, after the left with very little choice this morning, i think, after the backlash against the decision in the house of commons yesterday where the government narrowly won a vote to pause the suspension of owen paterson, the conservative mp and former cabinet minister, and begin a review into the way in which the rules governing mps' behaviour are monitored, policed and enforced, despite winning that vote there was criticism from labour and the other opposition parties, and also from a good many conservative mps too who are deeply uncomfortable about what the government was doing and the way it was going about it. the new proposal to have a new cross—party system to review the way the rules governing mps' behaviour were enforced just wasn't going to fly because labour, the snp and others said they didn't want to have anything to do with it and it wouldn't have any credibility in the way that the government was proposing it. so there was a stalemate, effectively, and as you sawjust in the last few minutes the leader of the house of commons jacob rees—mogg stood up and announced that the government was going to pull the plug on that plan, but try to work on a cross—party basis to find a new way forward for, perhaps, replacing or reforming the house of commons committee on standards which has thatjob of overseeing investigations into mps' behaviour at the moment. and as he said, it had become clear that that process had become clear that that process had been conflated with a specific case of owen paterson who had in fact been found to be in breach of those rules and facing a 30 day suspension from the house of commons. i am told there will be another vote now at some point, we don't know exactly when, on whether he should be suspended for 30 days or not. ., ., he should be

in just a few minutes maryam moshiri will be here with the latest headlines. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. today is likely to be the coldest day of this week. we'll still have some showers around, though, but for many of us we are going to have a lot of dry weather as we have this area of high pressure across us with the wind still coming in from a cold northerly direction and still gusty, particularly so down the north sea coastline where we are looking at gusts about 40 mph. that will accentuate the cold feel. but really we are looking at showers in some western areas, coming down the east coast, a few of them penetrating inland, and then later in the day a new weather system coming in across the north—west of scotland which will introduce thicker cloud and some rain. but eastern scotland seeing some sunshine. sunshine and a few showers in northern ireland, and for western parts of england and wales, mostly dry but we do have some showers on the west coast of wales, devon and cornwall and some coming down the north sea coastline with a few making it inland and also into the channel islands. temperatures 9—12 celsius, but don't forget tempered by the wind. through this evening and overnight, our weatherfront coming into the north—west by the end of the afternoon slips south as a weak feature. there will be some holes in the cloud and we will see some clear skies further south allowing the temperatures to fall as low as low as —2 degrees, so there will be a touch of frost in southern areas first thing in the morning. tomorrow, cloudier than today and you can see the progress our weather front makes heading down towards the south—east eventually. some showers coming in in the north and west, not as windy down the north sea coastline and the wind changing direction tomorrow, north by north—westerly or a westerly, which is a milder direction for us, and those temperatures up a degree or so anyway. and then on saturday, a new weather front comes in bringing heavy rain sinking south, a lot of cloud ahead of it. behind it, heavy, blustery showers which could be thundery and windy, especially in the north and west where we could well be looking at some gales. strong winds overnight across the north of scotland and the northern isles, gusting to 70 mph. the wind slowly easing during the course of sunday, the rain clears. and on sunday we are looking at a largely dry day with variable amounts of cloud but temperatures sliding a little bit. we are looking at 9—13 celsius. and then as we head on into the new working week, well, it looks very much like on monday fairly settled conditions but thereafter it turns more unsettled, there will be rain at times and it will also be quite windy at times with our temperatures as high as 14. this is bbc news, i'm maryam moshiri. the headlines at 11:00am. the government is forced to ditch its plans for a new process to check up on mps behaviour after a furious backlash across westminster. while there is a very strong feeling on both sides of the house that there is a need for an appeals process, there is equally a strong feeling that this should not be based on a single case or applied retrospectively. new research in the uk says the hpv vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by almost 90 per cent — charities call it a historic moment. police

pre—pandemic levels more quickly than expected. i met the biggest wind farm in england looking at alternatives to fossil fuels. i met the biggest wind farm in england looking at alternatives to fossil fuels. and former england cricketer gary ballance says he regrets using racist language against his former yorkshire teammate azeem rafiq. in the last half hour, the leader of the commons has signalled that the government is stepping back in a row triggered by the recommended suspension of the conservative mp owen paterson. jacob rees—mogg suggested that the next moves on the parliamentary standards process must be taken on a cross—party basis. opposition parties had been refusing to sit on a proposed new committee which would have looked at the system for investigating mps. the current cross—party standards committee had recommended that mr paterson be banned for 30 days, for repeatedly breaking the lobbyng rules. there'll now be a new vote on his fate. commons leaderjacob rees—mogg said the vote on overhauling the standards system and preventing the immediate suspension of owen paterson had "created a certain amount of controversy". last night's boat has created a certain amount of controversy. it is important that standards in this house are done on a cross—party basis. the house, the house voted very clearly yesterday to show that it is worried about the process of handling these complaints and that we would like an appeal system. but the change we need to be on a cross—party basis and that is clearly not the case. while there is a very strong feeling on both sides of the house that there is a need for an appeals process, there is equally a strong feeling that this should not be based on a single case or applied retrospectively. at the last night's debate conflated the individual case with the general concern. this link, this link needs to be broken. therefore i and others will be looking to work on a cross—party basis to achieve improvements in our system for future cases. we will forward more detailed proposals when they have been cross—party discussions. the shadow leader of the house of commons thangam debbonaire gave her response. i'm frankly astonished by what the right honourable gentleman just said about separating the process of reviewing the standards process from individual case. that was a choice that the side opposite, the members opposite made that choice yesterday to link the two. there is no separating them retrospectively. the right honourable gentleman has made much of the fact that his government does not want to do retrospective real change so i am quite frankly astonished by him. a lot was said about the standard procedure not being in line with other workplaces. well, mps are a public office. we are not employees. we are subject to professional self—regulation, not employment law. but if they want, they cannot they want to be viewed as employees rather than officeholders then alongside all the other mps they should be wearing masks. around the estate and in this chamber. because unfortunately, unlike when it comes to breaking rules about paid advocacy, a convivial and fraternal spirit does not protect everyone else. the government cannot have it both ways. the government was left with very little choice because it became clear during the debate in the house of commons yesterday afternoon that the government's plan to set up a new committee to review the way the rules governing mps conduct are enforced and set up did not have the support to be able to operate a cross—party basis. this is an area where traditionally parliament has taken the lead and the government has not interfered or tried to influence or engineer that process and i think that amy is something which the opposition parties clearly did not like and did not want to be a part of. so as you had that the leader of the house of commons were saying it was not the governmentintention to conflate or combine the case of owen paterson individually which mps were going to vote on yesterday, with a new plan to allow mps a right to appeal against the decision. but that is obviously what happened in the end and so now the government this morning saying they're going to separate those two issues are try to find a new way to work on a cross—party basis to inform the way mp conduct is in force but they will now have to be another vote on the suspension of owen paterson who was facing 30 days suspension from the house of commons. we are not sure exactly when that will be. i'd make you think it has been like damage has been done despite this? you make people think this is a bit of a mess and there is a situation where the government has got itself into a fight with the labour party and other opposition parties about how the system should work about governing the rules which mps have to abide by in terms of their conduct in the house of commons and beyond. and there are accusations flying around that mps are trying to write their own rules and mark their own homework and their charges have been levied at the government by labour and others but frankly, if the government was choosing this moment to try to perhaps change the system in some way, reform it from the current way it operates which some argue does not give them the away to appeal it does not enable them to do that because there is deep unease in opposition benches and among conservative mps as well with the way the government was going about this and overreaching somewhat into an area which should be for mps on all sides to decide amongst themselves.— be for mps on all sides to decide amongst themselves. thank you very much. the first anti—viral pill for the treatment of covid—19 has been approved for use in the uk. molnupiravir is for people who have had a positive covid test and have at least one risk factor for developing severe illness, such as obesity, being over the age of 60, diabetes or heart disease.the uk's medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (mhra) said the drug is safe and effective at reducing the risk of hospital admission and death in people with mild to moderate covid who are at extra risk from the virus.the drug, from ridgeback biotherapeutics and merck sharp & dohme (msd), works by interfering with the virus's replication.this prevents it from multiplying, keeping virus levels low in the body and therefore reducing the severity of the disease. the mhra said the drug should be taken as soon as possible following a positive covid—19 test and within the first five days. that first antiviral bill for the treatment of those with a positive test has been approved by the uk medical regulators. scientists researching the effectiveness of the hpv vaccine have produced the first major study which they say shows that it's reducing rates of cervical cancer by almost 90 percent in some age groups. one of the lead researchers has described the impact of the uk vaccination programme as �*huge'. the charity, cancer research uk, says the findings are �*historic�*. here's more from our health correspondent dominic hughes. almost all cases of cervical cancer are linked to the human papillomavirus. the hpv vaccine programme targeting the virus itself was introduced in the uk in 2008, when girls aged between 11 and 13 were first offered the jab. and since september 2019, boys of the same age have also been eligible. now, the first real world study of the vaccine shows it's had a dramatic effect. cervical cancer rates were 87% lower in girls who were offered the vaccine when aged 12 and 13. it's estimated that by mid—2019, the hpvjab programme had prevented around 450 cervical cancers, and around 17,200 precancers, all of which would have needed some medical intervention. this study looked at people who both had the vaccine for hpv and were screened by cervical cancer. so cervical screening still remains important. as the vaccine gets taken up, more and more people are vaccinated, we might see changes to what the screening programme looks like. so that might be how often you go in, or what the test looks like. but for now, it's still really important that if you're invited to cervical screening to consider going. currently, cervical cancer claims the lives of around 850 women in the uk every year. but the researchers believe that in the future, a combination of the vaccine and screening could mean hardly anyone goes on to develop the disease. they say it's a testament to the power of science to protect the lives of thousands of women. dominic hughes, bbc news. we can speak now to the study�*s lead author — professor peter sasieni. thank you so much forjoining us. let me ask you how exactly is this vaccine saving lives? it is preventing _ vaccine

other cancers as well and so by preventing infection would prevent women from getting the cancer and dying from cancer. and we know the results now because it affects women quite young often does so

the best way to deal with cervical cancer in older women so there is a very good screening programme in older women should continue to participate in the screening programme. the younger generation to the man's will benefit from this. do we think it would help prevent or carry on reducing the cases of cervical cancer in these young women they grow older?— they grow older? yes, that is the expectation- _ they grow older? yes, that is the expectation. the _ they grow older? yes, that is the expectation. the vaccine - they grow older? yes, that is the expectation. the vaccine works i they grow older? yes, that is the i expectation. the vaccine works for at least ten of the 13 years. there is no indication of it waning in its efficacy. it prevents the infections in those infections might cause cancer ten, 20, 30 years later so by preventing the infection is up to the age of 30 we will be preventing cancers up to the age of 60 and we hope that actually it will continue to work well beyond that. vaccine is onl as to work well beyond that. vaccine is only as effective _ to work well beyond that. vaccine is only as effective as _ to work well beyond that. vaccine is only as

whether or not girls or women who were vaccinated when they were girls and have a different screening recommendation to those when there is a record that they were vaccinated. but there is some benefit if we vaccinate enough people particularly now we are vaccinating boys but even those people who are not vaccinated will benefit because the virus becomes far less common than it has been in

antiviral drug treatment for covid—19 has been approved by the medicines regulatory agency. our health correspondent katharine da costa is with me now: sadly javid has called this game changing. the uk is the first country in the world to improve and antiviral that can be taken at home. this is great news and vulnerable people including those of the weakened immune system because in clinical trials they found that the drug was found to be effective in cutting the risk of hospitalisation and death in at—risk adults by more than half. the weight works is it stops the virus making copies of itself so it reduces the level of virus in the body, reducing the severity of the illness. in trials mind was most effective if given and soon after infection as possible and the nhra which is the uk regulator has today approved the drug. saying it is safe and effective. to be given as soon as possible after a positive covid test within five days of symptom starting. it has been approved for people with mild to moderate covid with at least one risk factor and that could include obesity, olderage, over 60 for example, heart disease. it is made by company and the government has preorder nearly half—million doses of this drug. the government says it is in talks with the nhs to see how quickly can start rolling it out to patients through a national study. we don't know how soon that will be? timescale has not been put on it at this stage but clearly they are keen to start rolling it out as soon as possible. to start rolling it out as soon as tossible. ., ., to start rolling it

this year to levels last seen before the pandemic. new research predicts that the amount of co2 released into the atmosphere will rise by almost the same amount that it decreased in 2020. experts say the report underlines the urgency of action needed at summits like cop26. meanwhile at that global climate conference in glasgow, a further 18 countries have agreed to a plan to stop using coal power plants. it brings the total number of countries backing the plan to 40. but some of the world's largest coal users, including china and the us, have not signed up. coal is the single biggest contributor to climate change. let's talk to pascal radue, president and ceo of ge renewable hydro, a division of general electric headquartered in france focusing on production of energy from renewable sources. how does it make you feel when you see countries like the us and china not signing up to something like that given the climate crisis we are men. it that given the climate crisis we

have basically avoided billions of tonnes of co2 being emitted in the atmosphere. of tonnes of c02 being emitted in the atmosphere.— the atmosphere. took the role of h dro in, the atmosphere. took the

i would traditionally use hydro it is a steady power production. hijo is shifting. we have a form of hydro which is called pump storage where we basically help wind and solar in a much more stable version. so what happens is by using pumped storage we can basically use the power that is produced by wind and solar when we can't use it somewhere else. we can use it to pump water uphill and when the wind doesn't blow a son does not shine the let letter run down the hill and actually produce power and thus we have a giant power storage facility with this pump storage and that is a real game changer in pushing wind and solar which is the bread and butter of renewable forward. it is obviously pushing things forward but some critics may say there are challenges as well. for example, you know, cost. these plants must cost a lot of money to build. we need to find the correct location for them. it is realistic to think these can be opened throughout the globe? latte]!!! be opened throughout the globe? well i to look at be opened throughout the globe? -ii ito look at the long term because sustainability is all about long—term at the end of the day and were looking at long—term and these facilities are therefore 100 years. if you look at the long term it is the by far the lowest cost and then there is another myth that they are not enough site locations. studies that show that today we have hundreds of thousands of sites upon storage where we can actually install pump storage today but we need to get building today and we need to get building today and we need to get building today and we need to have a long—term vision from governments and the private sector which really helps this pump storage move to really push forward. it has been really — move to really push

four year old girl who went missing from a campsite last month. she's now returned home with her parents, after being discovered in a locked house. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil sent this update about the charges against the suspect who's being held in connection with cleo's disappearance the first time we have a name and we have charges laden that 36—year—old man who we knew was in custody being questioned for two days now. we know that he has appeared in court and was charged with her abduction. police have been questioning him for the past few days. he was arrested we also know, on a street in the western australian town. he is from the same town and we also know that this is where she was found as well. she was found in a locked house and was rescued by policemen when they smashed their way into that house overnight on tuesday. and she identified herself to the police officers. the outer three times what is a name and she said i am clear that cleo and she was taken to the hospital. the police had been reluctant to share details. earlier in the day, a few hours ago, they share the audio of that moment, that dramatic moment when the officers went into the house and realise that they got ten you could hear her voice saying her name. they did not release the video because they said it contained evidence linked to the investigation. it is more about the house, the environment that she was in. what that room looked like. we know that the lights were on. she was playing with toys when they found and was awake but we don't know much more. essentially they are looking at locations. that campsite 900 kilometres away from our hometown when she disappeared and where it is alleged that he abducted her and her hometown where she was found. the investigation still continues and they are sifting through so many pieces of data and i think this is why they are still reluctant to share details but i can tell you even though this bit of information has now been revealed about that and the man charge the community themselves are celebrating very real happy for the family that they have their child with them for they have their child with them for the first time in more than two weeks. britain's brexit minister, lord frost, is due in paris today for talks on a simmering dispute overfishing rights following britain's departure from the european union. he'll meet france's europe minister — a day after a french court ordered the release of a british trawler impounded while fishing in french waters. our paris correspondent hugh schofield told me about the mood of the talks as they get under way today. it isa it is a bit less dramatic and less scary than it was a few days ago. they have brought themselves of the brain. we were talking about french measures kicking in on tuesday which would mean british boats landing their catches at french ports and checks at calais which could have led to a really severe disruption to trade across the channel. that is still a possibility because the french have not removed the threat of doing that if they do get more licenses but certainly there are these talks going on. more talks tomorrow. the french president has said that while negotiations are continuing measures should not kick in. the boat has been released so the mood is slightly more cooperative and i think there is a hope that we may have turned a corner. i understand that some extra licences have been given though the numbers are very unclear and it is possible at the end of this meeting today there will be some kind of arrangement so that more licences are given. maybe not all the ones avenger asking for. and there is so trade war will somewhat but it is far from clear that it will. the skipper of the scottish—registered scallop dredger is irishman, jondy ward, who is from a small fishing community in county donegal. joining me now is micheal cholm mac giolla easbuig, who is a friend of mr ward and

on the high seas and everyone in the area had been very concerned of how this is going to employer, and economic battle held by the elite of this world, france and britain. and yet here we see working class communities and working class communities and working class communities and working class individuals being caught in this elite battle by the upper classes and the concern was they would pay a heavy price but, you know, this is not new to any working class community that the elite would use us as a pawn analysis what exactly has happened here is that between westminster and paris the political elite has used ordinary fishermen as their pawns while they try to earn a crust. it has been really good to have your the programme and talk to you. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us on bbc news. goodbye. now time to look at the weather. quite a lot of sightings of the northern lights last night and under clear skies at night there is a good chance that some of us,

think of it, and also we will be hearing from politicians and the welsh government minister about what their plans are for the future what plans they have and don't have. back to you. so we've just been hearing about onshore wind power , but the uk leads the world in offshore wind power. so what do the numbers look like? here's our reality check correspondent, chris morris: the uk already produces about 40% of your �*s offshore wind power, a lot of which is out here of the east coast of england. on the one is currently the largest offshore wind farm in the world in hornsey to due for completion next year it will be even bigger. these areas cover hundreds of square miles. further north, about 80 miles of the yorkshire coast an even larger wind farm is under construction in the shallow waters of dogger bank. all the electricity generated offshore gets them back the uk a series of underwater cables. these turbines wear out at are considerably bigger than anything you might see down the road. some of the largest ones are about 260 metres high, nearly as tall as the shard in london. they have motor blades longer than a football pitch. so, how much offshore wind power is the uk currently producing? just over ten gigawatts of electricity a year, roughly ten times more than a decade ago. other countries produce a lot more onshore winds but offshore the uk leads the world and the government wants to quadruple production to 40 gigawatts by 2030. that should be more than enough to power every home in the country, quite an achievement. but houses only account for about a third of total electricity demand and there are also offices and factories to consider an electricity is the only source of power in our home so offshore wind alone can't get the uk to its target of net zero carbon emissions by mid—century but it is a big step forward in the government says it is getting cheaper. last year it estimated that in offshore wind farm opening in 2025 would be able to generate one megawatt hour of electricity for £57. that is far cheaper then a few years ago and less expensive than gas or nuclear. one big problem with windows that sometimes it doesn't blow enough, like this year. that lack of predictability something that has contributed to the recent spike in the price of gas. that is why floating wind turbines which don't need to be attached to the sea bed are being deployed with scotland taking the lead. this technology improved, there will be much further in the deep ocean where wind is much stronger. the aim is that floating turbines will deliver one gigawatt of uk electricity bill in 2030. there is another challenge. whether turbines and other components actually manufactured? promises of a boom ofjob associated with offshore wind have been made before a not very fulfilled. when you look at supply chains are wind power at the uk lags well behind denmark and germany and further afield china and the uae. now, last year, the government did announce hundred and £60 million package to improve ports and infrastructure for offshore wind promising investment places like teesside and humberside. this is also a loss of five investment it is argued that it is not yet enough to meet the gulf government has set plenty of challenges ahead in offshore wind clearly won't be the right solution if you are in the well but it is becoming a major player in uk energy for the foreseeable future.- player in uk energy for the foreseeable future. that is chris morris there. _ that is chris morris there. the us has blacklisted an

government is forced to ditch its plans for a new process to check up on mps behaviour after a furious backlash across westminster. new research in the uk says the hpv vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by almost 90 per cent — charities call it a historic moment. police in australia charge a man over the abduction of cleo smith, as new audio is released of the dramatic moment she was found... sales of new cars across the uk last month dropped by around a quarter, compared to last year — with a shortage of parts thought to be one of the reasons for the downturn. the motor industry also blames the pandemic for a drop in demand. our transport correspondent caroline davies sent this update from luton. well, this is the end of the line where the vehicles of owning off after having gone through a two—day production process. after having gone through a two—day production process and this factory is a key part of having experienced exactly what we were just talking about, the semiconductor shortage. all vehicles require between 1500 and 3000 of these semiconductors in order to be able to function. that will be to operate everything from the radio, the braking system, the gps signal as well. these vehicles, normally there can be about 300 produced at this factory. however, they said that they could go up to 450 and they have had to cut one of the shifts overnight because they simply do not have enough of these to be able to keep the production line i'm going. and all of this process is set up in a just—in—time way which means of course if one of those elements is not there when it needs to be, the entire process starts getting bunged up. so this is a major issue that's not just affecting this particular factory, but multiple different factories both across the uk and around the world. hundreds of millions of sikhs, jains and hindus across the world are celebrating diwali. whilst the festival marks different historical events for each religion, there will be a shared tradition of lighting candles, fireworks and sharing foods and sweets. but the coronavirus pandemic has brought about challenges for businesses in the lead up to diwali as rahila bano reports from the town of bolton in england. asian sweets similar to these are imported from india by bolton—based house of raja's for the festival of diwali but this year, due to a shortage of supplies due to the pandemic there, staff here are working flat out to keep up with demand, and some foods have been rationed. we have something that comes from india here and it's called halwa, it's a traditional indian sweet that you'd find in every household. so where we normally get 6,000, 7,000 packs a year, we were lucky to get 900. so we have been very tight and we've had to tell our customers just one packet perfamily, or two packets perfamily. it's been stressful for the owner of this store, as most of the goods which are used in diwali celebrations, like candleholders and stencils are also from india. deliveries have been affected, too, by a shortage of lorry drivers in the uk. sital raja—arjan says before the pandemic they were getting four deliveries a week. and now they're lucky to get one. a lot of these goods you can't get locally, or you can't get the prices locally. when you've done the same process for 30 years and suddenly that process is taken away, and no—one has a plan b — we never had a plan b because we never knew we'd get covid. and not being able to visit india has meant that shoppers who usually travel there to buy food and clothes for the festival have had to make other plans, and they say it has made a big difference. i guess there's certain specific flowers that you would need for certain specific ingredients, for example, or evenjust the cost of things going up, as well, which has had a very big impact on how we would celebrate and the delicacies that we would usually make. for many hindus, and for sikhs, and jains who also mark the festival, this year's diwali will be different to the ones they celebrated before the pandemic. last year diwali was just, like, totally cancelled, i no—one could come to your house but this year i feel like it - will be extra special— because you'll get to see them. have you personally been affected by deaths due to covid? yeah, i've lost family members, friends, colleagues. _ so it has been very. hard, even uni—wise. but, yeah, it's been hard, - but there are brighter days ahead. rahila bano, bbc news, bolton. bbc asian network's poonam taneja is at gurdwara sri guru singh sabha

up on mps behaviour after a furious backlash across westminster. while there is a very strong feeling on both sides of the house that there is the need for an appeals process there is equally a strong feeling that this should not be based on a single case or applied retrospectively. new research in the uk says the hpv vaccine is cutting cases of cervical cancer by almost 90 per cent — charities

the medicines regulatory agency. the drug mol—nu—pira—vir was found to be safe and effective at reducing the risk of hospitalisation and death in people with mild to moderate covid—i9, and who are at risk of developing severe disease. that's after a review by the medicines regulatory body. 0ur health correspondent catherine da costa told me that the health secretary, sajid javid, describes this as a game—changer. great news for vulnerable people including people with a weakened immune system that have not responded well to covid vaccines. because in clinical trials they found that the drug was found to be effective in cutting the risk of hospitalisation and death and at risk adults by half. the way it works is it stops the virus making copies of itself so it reduces the level of the virus in the body, reducing the severity of the illness. in trials found it was most effective if it was given soon after infection. and the nhra which is the uk regulator has approved the drug saying it is safe and effective to be given as soon as possible after a positive covid test or within five days of symptom starting. it has been approved for people with mild to moderate covid and with at least one risk factor that could include obesity, olderage one risk factor that could include obesity, older age such as over 60 for example, heart disease,. the government has pre—ordered nearly half a million doses of this drug. the government says it is in talks with the nhs to see how quickly it can start rolling it out to patients through a national study. we don't know how soon that will be, through a national study. we don't know how soon that will he, do we? time scales not been put are keen to roll it out as soon as possible. there had been some expectations the banks would descry to raise the cost of borrowing because inflation is very much its remit and inflation has been rising so to control cost prices it was expected potentially the bank would raise the court stopped borrowing so it has not decided to do that this month. the bank has been cutting rates. in 2020 it cut the rate to 0.1% as the corona virus pandemic at that point because the biggest economic slowdown in centuries. there was some talk. the bank could potentially cut interest rates to zero but i did not happen now because we have seen those prices rising in particular we have seen rises, of course, the cost of living. but also in the cost of petrol. they put inflationary pressures on the economy and that has meant that some market watchers and analysts were expecting the bank to raise the cost of borrowing. it has not done that. let's get more analysis now from our economics correspondent who is outside the bank of england right now. i do think the bank has held off this month? , ., ., , . ., month? they have made it very clear. there is too — month? they have made it very clear. there is too much _ month? they have made it very clear. there is too much uncertainty - month? they have made it very clear. there is too much uncertainty have i there is too much uncertainty have said that they now expect inflation to peak at 5% next april and that will be the highest it has been in a decade. so why are they not raising rates to try make it more expensive to borrow money to try to slow the economy down to people are not spending as much and there is less upward pressure on prices? the reason, they say, is they don't know what is happening to the jobs market so though the furlough schemas ending in their19 so though the furlough schemas ending in their 19 people still on it, they don't have the official figures. since it ended, for how many of those people have joined the unemployment until they know that they won't know how much upward pressure there is on wages because they won't know how many people are available to work and therefore they cannot tell how much pressure there is on employers to raise wages if they really need the star. they've got other uncertainties like energy prices. you may know that the wholesale price of gas has quadrupled in the last year. electricity is trebled and that is going to feed through to higher bills, of course, but what is expected in the markets is that might actually come at the end of next year, subside so that inflation actually comes down. for the moment they are holding off until they know more about the jobs market before they raise rates. 0n the other hand, given a warning, in order to tame inflation keep it on the path to the 2% target over the next three years they go to to raise interest rates over the coming year and the prediction is they will have to go up prediction is they will have to go up to i% by the end of next year. there are any .i% of the moment and all time low so that will be a change for the minority of the population that has mortgages with variable interest rates. the leader of the house of commons has signalled that the government is stepping back in a row triggered by the recommended suspension of the conservative mp owen paterson. jacob rees—mogg said the government would be withdrawing its plans for a new process to check up on mps behaviour as they couldn't be carried out without cross party support. opposition parties had been refusing to sit on a proposed new committee which would have looked at the system for investigating mps. the current cross—party standards committee had recommended that mr paterson be banned for 30 days, for repeatedly breaking the lobbyng rules. there'll now be a new vote on his fate. commons leaderjacob rees—mogg said the vote on overhauling the standards system and preventing the immediate suspension of owen paterson had "created a certain amount of controversy". last night's vote has created a certain amount of controversy. it is important that standards in this house are done on a cross—party basis. the house, the house voted very clearly yesterday to show that it is worried about the process of handling these complaints and that we would like an appeal system. but that change we need to be on a cross—party basis and that is clearly not the case. while there is a very strong feeling on both sides of the house that there is a need for an appeals process, there is equally a strong feeling that this should not be based on a single case or applied retrospectively. i fear last night's debate conflated the individual case with the general concern. this link, this link needs to be broken. therefore i and others will be looking to work on a cross—party basis to achieve improvements in our system for future cases. we will bring forward more detailed proposals when they have been cross—party discussions. the shadow leader of the house of commons thangam debbonaire gave her response. i'm frankly astonished by what the right honourable gentleman just said about separating the process of reviewing the standards process from an individual case. that was a choice that the side opposite, the members opposite made that choice yesterday to link the two. there is no separating them retrospectively. the right honourable gentleman has made much of the fact that his government does not want to do retrospective real change so i am quite frankly astonished by him. a lot was said about the standard procedure not being in line with other workplaces. well, mps are holders of public office. we are not employees. we are subject to professional self—regulation, not employment law. but if they want, they cannot pick and choose, if they want to be viewed as employees rather than officeholders then alongside all the other employees they should be wearing masks. around the estate and in this chamber. because unfortunately, unlike when it comes to breaking rules about paid advocacy, a convivial and fraternal spirit does not protect everyone else. the government cannot have it both ways. our political correspondent jonathan blake gave us this update from westminster. i think really this morning the government was left with very little choice because it became clear during that debate in the house of commons yesterday afternoon that the government's plan to set up a new committee to review the way the rules governing mps conduct are enforced and set up did not have the support that it would need to be able to operate on a cross—party basis and this is an area where traditionally parliament has taken the lead and the government has not interfered or tried to influence or engineer that process and i think that aim is something which the opposition parties clearly obviously did not like and did not want to be a part of so as you heard that the leader of the house of commons were saying that it was not the government's intention to conflate or combine the case of owen paterson individually, which mps were going to vote on yesterday, with their new plan to allow mps the right to appeal against a decision of their suspension but that is obviously what happened in the end and so now the government is saying they're going to separate those two issues. they will try to find a new way to work on a cross—party basis to reform the way mps conduct is policed and enforced but there will now have to be another vote on the suspension of owen paterson he was facing 30 day suspension from the house of commons. not sure exactly when that will be. to

this is a bit of a mess, really, isn't it? and there is a situation where the government has got itself into a fight with the labour party and other opposition parties about how the system should work for governing the rules which mps have to abide by in terms of their conduct in the house of commons and beyond. and there were accusations flying about that mps are trying to write their own rules and mark their own homework and those charges have been levied at the government by labour and others but frankly if the government was choosing this moment to try to perhaps change the system in some way, try to reform it from the government meant way in which it operates which ministers argue does not give mps sufficient right of reply a right of appeal against the decision against them then itjust has not been able to do that because there was deep unease not only in there was deep unease not only in the opposition benches but a long conservative mps to with the way that the government was going about their sand over reaching somewhat into an area which should for mps on all sides to decide between themselves. all sides to decide between themselves. you're watching bbc news. the labour leader has been reacting to today's moves, let's have a listen: what has happened in the last 2a—hour versus corrupt. i mean, there is no other word for it, i am afraid. in order to protect one of their own, the prime minister voted to pull the entire independent standards process down but it is no wonder that this morning they are waking up and asking themselves what on earth they have done because what they have done is corrupt and often in a situation like this you have a prime minister who is trying to lead on public standards. if you've got with minister is a prime who is leading his troops to the sewer and so it is a complete mess of their own making. in the past hour — a conservative mp who was sacked last night from herjunior government position, after abstaining on the amendment to overhaul the commons' disciplinary process, has said she's been reinstated. angela richardson, the mp for guildford, tweeted to say she'd been reappointed as parliamentary private secretary to the communities secretary michael gove. the headlines on bbc news: the uk has become the first country in the world to approve the use of an anti—viral pill to treat covid—i9. the

australia have beaten bangladesh by eight wickets in dubai. it was a must win match for the of these if they any chance of staying in the competition. bangladesh were ready of knocked out. they

crisis at the club. a player at the centre of the allegations said it was not about the work of individuals. he was responding to the ex england cricketer who said he regrets using a racial slur against his former team mate whom he described as his best friend and cricket. the tweet comes after a series of sponsors and partners their ties with yorkshire county cricket club over the handling of the allegations was at the club has been called to give evidence to government ministers. in an emotional statement he said he was responsible for some of the offensive terms his colleague was

of mps. i'm joined now by ben page, chief executive at ipsos mori, a market research compay. he is in paris. thank you so much forjoining us. you've done some research, haven't you? in the trust

was 20%. i'm so sorry but i don't think the line we have with you is is really any good. let me try again. tell me again. you were saying, you were talking about the dot—mac trust in politicians is never very high. the highest we've seen is dot—mac at the lowest after the expenses scandal in 2005 it was 13% lowest after the expenses scandal in 2005 it was i3% but even last year, it was only at 15% saying we tested in britain to tell the truth. all of the revelations and scandals and government accusations of corruption of the last 2a hours will not be news to most people. it is incredible the height of that little. i do think that is? lets not ut little. i do think that is? lets not put british _ little. i do think that is? lets not put british politicians _ little. i do think that is? lets not put british politicians alone i little. i do think that is? lets not put british politicians alone on i little. i do think that is? lets not. put british politicians alone on the spot. and we ask about the credibility of different professions globally across the entire planet the least trusted group of professionals are politicians with doctors and scientists at the top of the tree so that is true pretty much everywhere. and the in countries like the netherlands do you see something very much different. sol think the difficulty is that politics involves compromises, people also don't always vote for the politician they see is most honest so it is a slightly tricky situation in the sense that people acknowledge that if you're going to be making difficult decisions you are unlikely to be whiter than white and actually when they choose the prime minister this rarely elect the person is seen as most honest. they usually elect as the person they see as most competent or good in a crisis. and that is why, you know, mrs thatcher was never beaten in the 19805 were to be seen as more honest beams never seen as more competent so i suspect that borisjohnson is rather hoping that all of this will blow over. we will see because we are updating starting next week so we will see what impact this has had on the long—term level of trust in british politicians. it was not very high to start with.— high to start with. thank you so much. thank you so much. scientists are warning that carbon emissions are set to rebound this year to levels last seen before the pandemic. new research predicts that the amount of co2 released into the atmosphere will rise by almost the same amount that it decreased in 2020. experts say the report underlines the urgency of action needed at summits like cop26. meanwhile at that global climate conference in glasgow, a further 18 countries have agreed to a plan to stop using coal power plants. it brings the total number of countries backing the plan to a0. but some of the world's largest coal users, including china and the us, have not signed up. coal is the single biggest contributor to climate change. let's talk to mark futyan, ceo of anesco, a global leader in renewable energy. it isa it is a pleasure to have you in the programme. let me ask you first of all, are you surprised by the fact that countries like the us and china who are among the biggest coal users do not sign up to these pledges? i am not surprised. it is disappointing, of course. we really need these pledges in particular, some of the low hanging fruit essential as part of the climate mitigation challenge so it would really be good to seal enquiry signing up. really be good to seal enquiry signing up-— really be good to seal enquiry signing urn—

family could not see her for her first christmas there. a few days into the new year she was subjected to a brutal attack in her room. at night as she lay in bed she was set upon by another resident.

of cervical cancer by almost 90% in some age groups. one of the lead researchers has described the impact of the uk vaccination programme as 'huge'. the charity, cancer research uk, says the findings are 'historic�*. here's more from our health correspondent dominic hughes. almost all cases of cervical cancer are linked to the human papillomavirus. the hpv vaccine programme targeting the virus itself was introduced in the uk in 2008, when girls aged between 11 and 13 were first offered the jab. and since september 2019, boys of the same age have also been eligible. now, the first real world study of the vaccine shows it's had a dramatic effect. cervical cancer rates were 87% lower in girls who were offered the vaccine when aged 12 and 13. it's estimated that by mid—2019, the hpvjab programme had prevented around a50 cervical cancers, and around 17,200 precancers, all of which would have needed some medical intervention. this study looked at people who both had the vaccine for hpv and were screened by cervical cancer. so cervical screening still remains important. as the vaccine gets taken up, more and more people are vaccinated, we might see changes to what the screening programme looks like. so that might be how often you go in, or what the test looks like. but for now, it's still really important that if you're invited to cervical screening to consider going. currently, cervical cancer claims the lives of around 850 women in the uk every year. but the researchers believe that in the future, a combination the vaccine and screening could mean hardly anyone goes on to develop the disease. they say it's a testament to the power of science to protect the lives of thousands of women. dominic hughes, bbc news. britain's brexit minister, lord frost, is due in paris today for talks on a simmering dispute overfishing rights following britain's departure from the european union. he'll meet france's europe minister — a day after a french court ordered the release of a british trawler impounded while fishing in french waters. our paris correspondent hugh schofield explained the mood of the talks as they get under way today. well, shall we say it's a bit less dramatic and less scary than it was a few days ago. i mean, i think they've talked themselves a little bit off the brink. if you remember, a few days ago we were talking about french measures kicking in on tuesday, which would mean british boats being unable to [and their catches at french ports and checks at calais which could have led to some really severe disruption to trade across the channel. that's still a possibility because the french have not removed the threat of doing that if they don't get more licenses, but certainly there are these talks going on, there are these more talks tomorrow. macron has said that while negotiations are continuing measures should not kick in. the boat has been released from le havre, so the mood is, shall we say, slightly more cooperative and i think there's that hope that we may have turned a corner. i understand that some extra licences have been given, though the numbers are all very unclear and it is possible — certainly everyone's hoping — that at the end of this meeting today there'll be some kind of arrangement so that more licences are given, maybe not all the ones that the french are asking for, and this whole threat of trade war will recede somewhat, but it's far from clear that it will. let's get more now on the case of the conservative mp owen paterson, and the questions it's triggered over parliamentary standards of mps. we can speak now to the conservative mp peter bone. he voted in favour of yesterday's plan to change the rules for mp5. but plan to change the rules for mp5. before you get ir to but before you get into that i want to talk to you about what has happened your constituency office because i believe that it has been vandalised. talk us through. weill. vandalised. talk us through. well, not

over it saying tory sleaze. it seems to me that trying to intimidate me and particularly intimidate my stuff is wrong. i have been physically attacked myself. my house has been attacked, a picture of my sun being executed was put on social media and death threats to my wife and family. this isn't what should be happening in our democracy. yes, people can say i got the vote wrong or disagree with

and i don't know what can do about it but it is wrong. —— david amess. it has definitely got worse and worse and i think social media has a role in this and it's a very sad state of affairs. �* , .,

go back to owen i paterson because i believe this is connected what happened yesterday in parliament. you voted in support of those changes and other government has neutered on those. can you understand why some people watching who might be worried about the state of the fed in westminster and how politics is being played right now? —— the government u—turned yesterday. yes, the government mixed two things yesterday, the case of owen paterson and the reform of the system. i supported a separate amendment which was not cold for debate dealing with mr paterson's case there is an independently looking at reform in a cross—party basis because i think both sides of the house of commons realises a problem with this system and i think the chairman of the standards committee was in the chamber when i was there said improvements could be made but trying to tie the two things that was a mistake by the government and i now understand there will be an emergency debate in there will be an emergency debate in the house of commons on monday and i think the government will make this position clear we will do the two things separately which is really what should happen in the first place. there were a number of tory mps voting against an abseiling on that has weakened the government, somewhat, hasn't it, given the three line whip? this is clearly business of the house and should not been whipped. i'm not going to be told by someone else howl whipped. i'm not going to be told by someone else how i should vote and you can clearly see many of my colleagues ignored that three line whip services poppy one of the better things that came out of the debate, that people voted with their conscience supporting the amendment did not let mr patterson off the hook, itjust delayed the decision on his case. sol hook, itjust delayed the decision on his case. so i think parliament is probably forcing the government to get the situation right, we will deal with mr patterson first and then on a cross—party basis look at improving the system and clearly one of the areas of the system needs is to have an appeal after somebody has gone through the system because in every other walk of life where you are seriously affected by a decision you have a right of appeal. it has been really _ you have a right of appeal. it has been really good _ you have a right of appeal. it has

stations. the pledges were made at the cop26 climate summit in glasgow. it's regarded as significant because burning coal is a major contributor to climate change. but big coal users china and the us are not on the list. today's talks at cop26 are all about clean energy. we canjoin bbc wales economics correspondent sarah dickins, who is at one of the uk's biggest onshore wind farms in the welsh valleys — sarah? that is right, it is the biggest one and all of wales and all of england and all of wales and all of england and 76 of these turbines around me. if you're wondering whether it is it is where four valleys, of course, famous for coal production in the past come together in the very high [and between the south wales coast land between the south wales coast and the brecon beacons. it is a huge investment of a00 million pounds that went into building by the company, which is state owned in sweden on the ground is run by the welsh government but, of course, it is notjustjobs, is it, that something like this creates, and not just that money. it is also a buzz and impact on community and we have heard communities in other parts of the uk and some parts of wales being against this

now returned home with her parents, after being discovered in a locked house. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil sent this update about the charges against the suspect who's being held in connection with cleo's disappearance for the first time we have a name and we have charges laid against that 36—year—old man who we knew was in custody being questioned for two days now. we know that he has appeared in court and was charged with her abduction. police have been questioning him for the past few days. he was arrested we also know, on a street in the western australian town of carnarvon. he is from that same town and we also, of course, know that this is where cleo was found as well. cleo was found in a locked house and she was rescued by policemen when they smashed their way into that house overnight on tuesday. and she identified herself to the police officers. the asked her three times, "what's your name?" and then she said, "i am cleo," and she was taken to the hospital. the police had been reluctant to share details. earlier in the day, a few hours ago, they share the audio of that moment, that dramatic moment when the officers went into the house and realised that they got ten you could hear her voice saying, "my name is cleo." they did not release the video, though, because they said it contained evidence linked to the investigation. it is more about the house, the environment that she was what that room looked like. we know, for example, that the lights were on. she was playing with toys when they found her, she was awake but we don't know much more. essentially they are looking at two differen tlocations. that campsite 900 kilometres away from her hometown when she disappeared and where it is alleged that he abducted her and her hometown of carnavon where she was found. the investigation still continues. they're sifting through so many pieces of data and i think this is why they're still reluctant to share details but i can tell you even though this bit of information has now been revealed about that man, that he has been charged, the community themselves are celebrating very happy for the family that they have their child with them for the first time in more than two weeks. sales of new cars across the uk last month dropped by around a quarter, compared to last year — with a shortage of parts thought to be one of the reasons for the downturn. the motor industry also blames the pandemic for a drop in demand. our transport correspondent caroline davies sent this update from luton. well, this is the end of the line where the vehicles are rolling off after having gone through a two—day production process and this factory is a key part of having experienced exactly what we were just talking about, the semiconductor shortage. all vehicles require between 1,500 and 3,000 of these semiconductors in order to be able to function. that will be to operate everything from the radio, the braking system, the gps signal as well. these vehicles, normally there can be about 300 produced at this factory. however, they sy that they could go up to a50 and they've had to cut one of the shifts overnight because they simply don't have enough of these chips to be able to keep the production line going. and all of this process is set up in a just—in—time way, which means of course, if one of those elements is not there when it needs to be, the entire process starts getting bunged up. so this is a major issue that's not just affecting this particular factory, but multiple different factories both across the uk and around the world. wildfires raged in the forests of greece this summer, fanned by the country's worst heatwave in decades. the greek prime minister blamed climate change — and with temperatures expected to rise in the coming years, there are concerns these fires could become the new norm, as bethany bell reports. this summer, greece was on fire. the fire on the island of evia was the biggest in greece since records began. it was a mega fire, an intense blaze which burnt out of control for days. in some places, only the sea could stop it. many people were forced to flee their homes. wildfires in the mediterranean are common, but firefighters say this year's mega fires were unprecedented. lieutenant colonel stratos anastasopoulos, who's responsible for coordinating firefighting aircraft across greece, took us up to see the extent of the destruction. what made it so intense this year? because of the very, very dry... the brush and the grass and the trees. is this climate change? yes. the heat wave? yeah. it was very difficult for us. the first time that i came here in evia, i cried because there is all over fires — all over. here, there, there, there. up there in the other mountain. in the other mountain — oh, my god! the raging flames destroyed huge swathes of forest, a third of the island's territory. with the forests burnt, there's a real danger of erosion and flooding when the winter rains come. these men are using the dead wood to make makeshift terraces to try to stop that happening. the effects of these fires will be felt here for years to come. hello. eias tziritis, who works for the world wildlife fund, says mega fires will happen again and again unless there's more focus on prevention. if you ask our colleagues in spain, portugal, italy, turkey, they're going to explain to you that the new trend in forest fires is megafires. the megafires are affected by climate change. these forests should eventually regenerate, but it'll take years for the trees to grow back, and with more heat waves forecast, there are fears megafires in the mediterranean could become the new normal. bethany bell, bbc news, greece. lockdown was a difficult time for so many people, but especially for those who were shielding and unable to leave their homes. widower lesley roebuck says she was kept going by her 'wonderful�*, four—year—old pen pal, aleena. after 18 months of exchanging letters, they finally met in person for the first time. our reporter luxmy gopal was there. lesley is travelling to see someone she's never met before. i'm feeling really excited and a bit nervous, i think, as well. i just can't believe the day has come. she is finally meeting a pen pal she started writing to a year—and—a—half ago in lockdown, aleena from london, was just four years old back then. through letter—writing they became so close she started calling lesley "granny". i wish i could see grenny lesley seen. the pen pal project was for its members who, like leslie, was shielding. i was in the house. most of the time i got out for a breath of fresh air in the garden, but being able to write the letters to her and then receive them, it was wonderful. this was a painting that she did and i really like this one — she put "granny lesley" on. just thinking that when you are shielding, this kind of contact must have made a huge difference. oh, it kept me going. it was lovely to think i would eventually be meeting aleena. yes, i wonder if she'll be excited. well, let's catch up to find out. i'm looking forward to meeting her because she is always kind and she writes and she replies a letter back to me! after 18 months, the moment of meeting for these pandemic penpals has finally arrived. hello! how are you? i'm really good. oh, don't you look well. i've brought you a little present. thank you! i like your wellies. it's amazing. it's wonderful. i thought we never meet up, it's been so long. was it a bit emotional? i was nearly in tears walking along the path. i was having to hold it in! it's really good seeing granny lesley. and their correspondence doesn't end here. i wouldn't stop now. no, never. i shall keep writing. i'm going to stay in touch with granny lesley and make every letter for her. is that for me? yes. thank you! from the dark times of the pandemic has emerged an unlikely friendship and a lasting bond. luxmy gopal, bbc news. what a lovely story. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick. diwali celebrations and bonfire night are going to be lighting up our sky is the next evenings were doing at the natural way and getting an early the northern lights put on an early the northern lights put on a beautiful display in the state in scotland last night and many of our weather watchers were able to capture some stunning views. to find out more about the northern lights, what they are and how they happen and also is to see more pictures from last night had to our website bbc.co.uk/sport. the chance is there to see them again tonight were looking all the cloud moving into of the uk you're most likely to see them very limited opportunities with all that hype lover arriving. licenses some blue sky in cumbria after the rain last week, some showers to be had running down north sea coastal counties, inland to east anglia, south—east england, pembrokeshire, cornwall, northern ireland, and outbreaks of rain gathering with thick cloud in the final west of scotland. it is a chilly day but hopefully some of that sunshine away from the showers will compensate. as advertised tonight, cloud moving in across scotland, northern ireland and northern england and it will come with some mostly light rain and drizzle but some heavier bursts in north—west scotland with the clouds spilling southwards on the change of wind direction temperature is actually likely to be heading upwards as the night goes on but still a frost across parts of wales and southern parts of england. some some trying to start the day in east anglia in south—east england with a frosty start tomorrow before it clouds over and, overall tomorrow is looking like a much cloudier day. whilst for many will stay dry across western areas there will be some patchy well, light rain and drizzle especially for the hills, more persistent rain in upper scotland but face in scotland, north—east england, yorkshire, past the midlands, there will also be some brighter breaks. the bridges are a little higher but then again it is cloudy and there is a bit more of breeze developing as well so it may not feel too different. for bonfire night again that dance and sing a little light rain and drizzle with remaining scotland in many places it will be dry with a more vigorous weather system moving to the weekend navy of low pressure friday night into saturday going to bring some rain into scotland and northern ireland. it will weaken as it moves across scotland and wales, saturday into sunday into sunday night. sunday a dry day, late saturday night and into sunday turning very windy it moves across scotland and wales, saturday into sunday night. sunday a dry day, late saturday night and into sunday turning very windy across parts of northern scotland. today at 1pm, the government backtracks on plans to overhaul the disciplinary process for mp5. yesterday the commons voted to consider a new system, which could have put the suspension of a tory mp on hold. but after a commons backlash came the climbdown. while there is a very strong feeling on both sides of the house that there is a need for an appeals process, there is equally a strong feeling that this should not be based on a single case or applied retrospectively. what you've got with this prime minister is a prime minister who is leading his troops through the sewer, and so it's a complete mess of their own making. so, where does the controversy leave public confidence that mps can effectively police themselves? also on the programme... cases of cervical cancer are being cut by up to 90% because of the success of the hpv vaccine.
