there. roger hutton has apologised unreservedly to mr rafiq, and has criticised the governing body — the england and wales cricket board — for what he says was its failure to help. it comes after an investigation found azeem rafiq had been subject to racial harassment and bullying during his time with yorkshire — but the club said it would take no disciplinary action. azeem rafiq represented yorkshire in two stints between 2008 and 2018, and said institutional racism had left him close to taking his own life. here's our sports correspondent, laura scott. in yorkshire's 158 year history, it in yorkshire's158 year history, it has never faced a crisis like this. at the end of a disastrous week for one of the country's most prestigious cricket clubs, the man in charge to bow to the

except challenge and change, and that in my view it would be great if they could move forward. his departure comes more than a year afterformer his departure comes more than a year after former yorkshire player azeem rafiq came forward, alleging institutional racism at the club. an investigation found he had been the victim of harassment and bullying, but yorkshire said no disciplinary action would be taken and the full report, which included a racial slur against azeem rafiq being dismissed as a friendly banter, still not been published. last night, england and wales cricket club hit the club with unprecedented punishment for the wholly unacceptable handling of the situation. the threat of financial sanctions and a suspension on the club posting international or major matches. yorkshire's gary balance was also suspended from england selection after he admitted to using a racial slur against azeem rafiq. it has been clear that right this investigation we have had concerns

damaging and to continue believing developing race row has engulfed yorkshire. but the ramifications are being felt far beyond. last year, in an interview with the wisden cricket monthly magazine and podcast, azeem rafiq spoke about what he called a "tough time" at yorkshire county cricket club. let's talk to taha hashim, a journalist with the magazine, who interviewed him. what is your take on all that has happened since that interview? weill. happened since that interview? well, it has been a — happened since that interview? well, it has been a process _ happened since that interview? 9ii it has been a process where yorkshire... it has been a mess, really. after that interview, it took several interviews for yorkshire to open an investigation, to commission a report. after that, it took more than a year for most of those findings to come out, and when they did come out, it was a summary. initially, yorkshire said that azeem rafiq was a victim of inappropriate behaviour. what later came out was that he was a victim of racial harassment and bullying. the statement from yorkshire a week or so ago, saying that they were not going to take any actions, was quite astounding. this has been building up astounding. this has been building up this week after the revelation that a racial slur was being minimized as banter. once you have the intervention of mps, the subsequent pull—out of sponsors, like has been said, heads have to roll. and we have come to this because of a process that is just lacked any transparency, any coherency. lacked any transparency, any

morning. two others have also stepped down from the board. this feels like momentum is building, rather than theissue momentum is building, rather than the issue going away or in any sense having been

there. when azeem rafiq made his allegations last year, initially there was that uproar that led to that. but there's been times where the story has gone completely quiet. now it has got to the point where there is no going back. there needs to be changed. the frank truth is, once sponsors pull out, once the money men go away, that is when people are forced to act. that is the truth, really, here. now we are going to see change, i think. on the outset, it looks like this is a hugely damaging week for the game. another way of looking at it as it is a step forward for the game. cricket is taking the matter of race seriously now. serious changes are happening at the club. what the ecb announced yesterday with the punishments they have handed yorkshire, i think we are actually going to see...

secific we try to solve these problems? in; specific example of yorkshire, there needs to be a cultural rree shift. in terms of that term, what i mean is, the club itself needs to make better attempts to make the south asian communities that surround it. it has made some of those attempts in the last few years, but they really need to do more because they will have to rebuild a lot of trust. azeem rafiq was one of the very few cricket asian... he was the youngest captain in the club has micro—history. the first british agent to captain the club. the club needs to show that it is reflecting the communities. it is not really doing that right now. i think that would be a huge step. there are all kinds of things that need to happen for that to occur, and it is going to take time, basically. in

changes have been made. has resolved to do whatever it takes to resolve the trust of its stakeholders, inside and outside of the game. it adds, further to the registration of roger hutton from the board this morning, two others have also stepped down from the board. the club says it would like to thank all of them for their respective contributions. it goes on to say neil hartley will stay on the board to ensure a smooth transmission to new leadership, but intends to step down in the near future. the statement continues, lord kamlesh radford has been appointed as a director and chair of the club. in response to that, lord patel saying he looks forward to taking the club forward in driving the change that is needed. he adds, the change that is needed. he adds, the club needs to regain trust and rebuild relationships with our communities. much work to do, including learning from past mistakes. it concludes, yorkshire is lucky to have a vast talent pool of cricketers. from all of our communities. we must re—engage with everyone to make a better yorkshire county cricket club for everyone. that statement from yorkshire county cricket club just being released in the last few minutes. let's turn to other news now. thousands of people, including many schoolchildren, are protesting on the streets of glasgow, calling on world leaders at the cop26 climate summit to take action to tackle global warming. the campaigner greta thunberg is among them, on the day that debate at cop is focused on younger people. the education secretary will later set out a new strategy for schools in

the commons standards system. the conservative mp at the centre of the row, owen paterson, resigned, after the government changed its mind about blocking his suspension from parliament for breaking lobbying rules. let's speak to our political correspondent, johathan blake. bring us up to date. after a dramatic day or so here at westminster, parliament isn't sitting today, on a friday, as it normally does. mps have returned to their constituencies, and those on their constituencies, and those on the conservative side probably feeling pretty grumpy about the way this has all panned out. because, as you said, yesterday morning the government did perform a screeching u—turn and announced it would not push forward on its plans to overhaul the system of checks and balances and rules governing mps's behaviour. owen pattinson resigned later on this afternoon, and we have heard from him again today. he has tweeted, saying that he would like to thank the many people who, he says, have got in touch to send their kind wishes to him and his family this week. and he goes on to say that, at this difficult time, he will be stepping back from his consultancy work to focus on his family and suicide prevention. the government, as you say, have acknowledged that they got this wrong. speaking at the cop26 climate summit in glasgow, the education secretary nadeem howie

deputy leader at the labour party has written to the independent parliamentary commissioner for standards, katherine stone, asking her to look into borisjohnson's register or not of that holiday in the house of commons members register of interests. just read you a little of what angela rayner has written to katherine stone, in a letter to date she has called on her to open a investigation, saying that "he should have registered that holiday, which was provided by the family of zac goldsmith, a conservative mp, in the register of parliamentary interests." asked parliamentary interests. " asked about parliamentary interests." asked about this earlier on, the prime minister's is spokesperson said he had registered it in the ministerial register of interests, which is a slightly separate register. and in their view that was clearly the right thing to do, because they described it as hospitality from a long—standing family friend who provided the use of a holiday at home. whether the labour party will see it that way, whether more importantly the parliamentary commissionerfor importantly the parliamentary commissioner for standards will see it that way, we will have to see, when she response from this letter from labour later today. £311" from labour later today. our olitical from labour later today. our political correspondent in westminster, thank you. a teenager has been convicted of the killing of keon lincoln — a 15—year—old schoolboy who was stabbed and shot outside his home in birmingham earlier this year. yesterday, four teenagers who took part in the attack — including the gunman, who s just 14 — were found guilty of murder. today, kieron donaldson, who supplied the weapons but wasn t there when keon died, was convicted of manslaughter. phil mackie reports. # miss you so much. this was keon lincoln, a typical teenager messing around with his family and friends. injanuary, after a day spent in remote lessons because of lockdown, a group of teenagers murdered him outside his house. it appeared carefully planned. they drove to his home in this stolen white ford. he was standing in the street. this was the moment it stopped and the attack began. it's taken from cctv footage which showed keon being chased, stabbed and then shot dead. this shrine is here to mark a spot near to where keon was stabbed and fatally shot. the whole attack lasted less than 40 seconds, and among the first people who were outside to see what had happened were his mother and his twin sister. i heard the gunshots and my first instinct was, where's my son? those were the first words i said. "where's my son?" i found out that there was somebody up the road and, yeah, it was my boy. a week after he died, the community gathered to remember him and appealfor calm. this situation that we are in, with the postcode war, needs to stop. and we have to now learn to respect each other and love each other in the way that we ought to love each other. and we can only do that by putting away the knife and the gun. the stolen car was abandoned a couple of miles away. in it, they found a knife and a mask with dna. there was more cctv footage and phone records, which led to the arrest and now conviction of four teenagers for murder. michael ugochukwu and tahjgeem breakenridge, both 18. the other two killers can't be named because of their ages — they're 14 and 16. another 18—year—old, kieron donaldson, was convicted of manslaughter. the weapons that are being used, they're terrifying weapons — - to think that the knives, i they're more like swords. the weapons that young people are getting hold of, _ they should never be getting hold of weapons such as those. - it's diabolical. it's unnecessary. it never needed to happen. so we, you know, are trying to come to terms with thatl and so we just want closure. we still don't know why keon lincoln was killed but he has become another teenage casualty in a city that's lost too many young lives in recent years. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. the pharmaceutical manufacturer, pfizer, has said that a clinical trial of a new pill to treat covid—19 shows that the drug is highly effective. the product is called paxlovid, and it is reported to have achieved an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death — that's among adult patients with coronavirus who are at high risk of progressing to severe illness. with me now is our health correspondent, jim reed. we're starting to see the same thing this year but this time it's not vaccines, it's treatments. so it's aimed at people who have already caught covid who might be vulnerable, elderly, have underlying health conditions — so we had the uk drugs regulator approving the first pill to treat covid in that way and today clinical trial results for a different pill, this time developed by the us drug company pfizer, and, again, they're very, very strong. so this one, if you give this pill in the trial within three to five days of catching covid, then it cuts the risk of hospitalisation in that vulnerable group by 89%, which is very positive. there were no deaths at all from covid in the group that took the pill. in the group that took the dummy pill, the placebo in this trial, there were ten deaths. so you can see, these are the kind products, the kind of treatments that are likely to be used going forward. they won't be for everyone, they will be for that very much smaller group of vulnerable, elderly people that might benefit from treatment like this. the uk has already purchased 250,000 causes of this pfizer drug. no details yet on when it will become available. you'd imagine that they will push for authorisation from the drug regulatory bodies very soon. the brexit minister, david frost, has said only "limited progress" has been made in talks between the uk and the eu in brussels, as both sides try and resolve a dispute over northern ireland. britain wants to change the northern ireland protocol, which is designed to regulate trade and prevent the need for a hard border in ireland. but significant changes remain between the two sides, leading to speculation london may suspend the deal. the european commission vice president, maros sefcovic warned there would be "serious consequences" if the uk triggle article 16. students at 37 universities across the uk face disruption after a vote for industrial action by academic and administrative staff in a dispute over pensions. members of the university and college union said universities needed to urgently revoke the pension cuts and return to the negotiating table to avoid strike action. universities uk says changes are required to avoid escalating contribution costs. a shortage of taxi drivers across the country is leading to concerns about public safety, according to the industry trade body. the licensed private hire car association says more than half of licenced drivers haven't returned to work after the pandemic, leaving a shortfall of 160,000 drivers. that's prompted concerns about the safety of shift workers and people struggling to get home. coletta smith reports. welcome to the sugarmill. this 600 capacity venue has been packed to the rafters since it reopened. i've worked in venues for 20 years. i've honestly never known it this bad. but for clubbers and for staff, it's a nightmare to get a taxi once the party is over. i'm leaving at about four o'clock in the morning, maybe even five, and then having to wait until six o'clock in the morning to get a taxi. it's a long time to be stood by yourself in town, and for me, it's the safety issue. so if we go back in time, pre—pandemic, i'd probably only be waiting about five, ten minutes. taz isn't just worried for her staff. so if we've got a vulnerable individual, a young woman that's left on her own, it's making sure that she can get home, so getting her into a cab. the majority of people are just giving up and walking home and we don't want lone individuals wandering around the streets just by themselves. now that the nights are getting colder and darker, getting home safely from a night out is crucial. but taxis provide a really vital service at any time of the day, whether it's getting staff into work, whether it's a hospital appointment, or even just doing the weekly shop. the shortfall of drivers is leading to long waits and high prices. a lot of them retired. a lot of them couldn't actually keep the payments up on their vehicles. their national trade body says taxi drivers found otherjobs when their trade dried up during lockdowns and it's too costly and time—consuming to restart. the drivers are being faced with a massive great big outlay. the time he or she has probably been earning 15% of what they normally do, some people literally haven't been able to carry on. a taxi licence from a local council can set you back as much as £600, and waiting for the medical and criminal records checks can take months. a handful of councils have been proactive, though. in the summer, torbay council in devon saw this problem coming and cut the cost of their licence tojust 50 quid. they've got 25 new drivers but still need at least 25 more. as the christmas season puts extra demand on taxi firms, customers can only hope that more councils take action to make sure everyone can get home safely. colette smith, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello, our weather is turning a little milder again, with plenty of cloud moving in from the atlantic. just the far south east of england holding on to the sunshine for the longest today. from the cloud in the west, a few spots of light rain and drizzle. for example, into the hills in cumbria. more especially north—west scotland. but if you're to the east of high ground, there's still the chance of seeing some sunny spells occasionally stop and temperatures are a little higher than they've been but still feeling quite chilly in east anglia and south—east england after the frosty start. no frost tonight. plenty of cloud around. mainly dry bonfire night. still outbreaks of rain in north—west scotland that are going to turn heavier as the night goes on, along with a strengthening wind. these are the temperatures going into saturday morning. so, for saturday, we're going to take some rain south across scotland, through northern ireland, into northern england — mainly to the west of the pennines — into wales. for the midlands, east anglia and southern england, a few showers but some patchy rain eventually heading in later afternoon and into the evening. brightening up with further showers in scotland and northern ireland. a windier day for all. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club resigns over the club's handling of racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. in the last few minutes, the club has confirmed a further two board members have also stepped

forward. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists marching through the streets of glasgow — demanding politicians at the cop26 meeting take serious action on climate change. the swedish

more board members have stepped down and lord patel of bradford has been appointed the new director and chair of the club. the changes come as the club tries to address allegations of racism. a report found former player azeem rafiq had been a victim of racial harassment and bullying but the club said they would take no disciplinary action. the outgoing chair has been speaking exclusively to a sports editor dan bowen and here's what he had to say when he was asked if there was evidence of institutional racism at yorkshire county club. i've not personally met anyone that i would consider races at yorkshire county cricket club, but i have seen the report and i have seen the allegations being upheld of acts that have been racist from people who are no longer at the club. more broadly than that, i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past, a culture that is, finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if we could move forward. in the t20 world cup scotland are taking on india in group 2. india won the toss and put scotland in to bat first — a few moments ago they were 29 for 4 in the 7th over. meanwhile new zealand are still in the hunt for a semifinal place, but namibia are out new zealand recovered from a sticky start to post 163 for 4. glen phillips and jimmy neesham boosted the total with some big hitting. namibia were always struggling and in the end could only muster 111 for 7 . some rugby news now and the rfu have confirmed that. owen farrell will miss the captains run today ahead of tomorrows match with tonga after testing positive for covid. he'll remain in isolation ahead of another lateral flow and pcr test later today so it is not yet clear whether he will have to miss the

head coach simon middleton makes five changes to the side that beat the world champions last week. i was shocked. you know, i was honoured, didn't hesitate and i was just like to! of course i want to be england captain of the game and, yeah, when the team came out of the whole wider squad i got dropped loads of congratulations and a little bit of ribbon as well but it was great for them to find out as well and drop you the messages. you know, ijust can't well and drop you the messages. you know, i just can't wait for this weekend now. scotland have named a strong side to face australia in sunday with prop pierre schoemann winning his second cap. last weekend's win over tonga fell outside the international window — meaning many players were unavailable so gregor townsend has recalled captain stuart hogg at full back with the likes of ali price and finn russell returning too. british and irish lions duhan van der merwe and hamish watson also start barcelona are set to announce xavi hernandez�*s dramatic return to the club as coach — replacing ronald koeman who was sacked last month. xavi's current side — qatari club al sadd — have confirmed that a deal has been agreed, with barca paying a release clause. xavi has been coaching in qatar since 2019 and will now rejoin the club where he enjoyed huge success as a player. the second meeting of the world triathlon championship

website. we're reaching the end of the week at cop26 — the climate change conference in glasgow. today s all about hearing from young people and looking at how important education is when it comes to climate issues. we re spending the day at a school in birmingham, that's using the day to get kids more involved with the environment of their local community, and what they can do to reduce air pollution on their journey to school. let's cross over to the saltley academy, tojoin the bbc asian network's pria rai. yes, so, as you say, today at cop26 it is a little bit less about hearing from the world leaders and more about hearing from the young people here. children want for their future and the climate they are going to grope and so, as you say, we hear all day at sully academy. it is not far from a place called allan rock and it is actually one of the most populated parts of the city. it is often dubbed a car city, a place where people do just refer to using their cars, and so here they have got a whole day of activities planned. we've been here all day. one of the things is that they are trying to inspire students and get staff more into using electric cars. there were some brand—new electric charging points fitted here and it is actually something that is quite important. a recent report from the city council here suggests that they actually need to reduce the emissions from private cars by about 70% if they are to hit their own decarbonisation target so here at the academy they are trying to do their bit. i have got mr hassan with us. mr hassan, i know it is something that you are quite keen as teachers to lead by example with when it comes to students. electric cars would be one way of doing that? indeed. today has been a great opportunity for our

few hours longer. thank you. studio: thank you very much indeed. i'm just going to show you the seen live in glasgow where they protest march is taking place. many of those taking part in the potus today are calling for climate justice. we will come onto that in just a moment but among those protesting in that match the swedish activist greta thunberg in the event she has been taking part on has been organised by fridays for future scotland, a group founded by young people inspired by greta thunberg was my own activism. she has also urged council workers were on strike to join the potus. they match to the city and they know what george square where they are hearing speeches and various speakers taking to the stage as part of the protest calling on the leaders at cop26 to take meaningful action on tackling climate change. so, when they call for climate justice what do they actually mean? here's our reality check correspondent chris morris to explain. who is most responsible for climate change? who's worst affected by it? and who should take the lead in trying to fix it? these are the big questions at the heart of climate justice. the poorest and most vulnerable people around the world are the least likely to cause the pollution leading to climate change. if you look at the greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the planet up, the richest 1% of the earth's population are responsible for more than the poorest 50%. yet the poor are often the most likely to be affected by its most detrimental impacts — farmland turning into desert, sea level rises threatening homes, or extreme weather events like flash floods and wildfires. these things can happen anywhere, but the poorest countries have far fewer resources to deal with them. climate justice also means taking account of historical emissions. it's true that china produces the most greenhouse gases in the world at the moment, but over the last 250 years, the us and europe have produced far more. the rich world has accepted responsibility for these emissions, but a promise to send $100 billion a year to developing countries by 2020 to help them adapt to climate change and to build a greener economies in the future hasn't yet been met. climatejustice, though, isn't only about numbers — it's really about people. the school strikes for climate have drawn a lot of attention to this, demanding that fair solutions are found between rich and poor. that means supporting the very poorest countries and making sure they're not forced to take on huge amounts of debt, but also tackling inequality between people in richer societies. whether it's about how you heat your home or maybe the switch to electric cars, forcing change onto people who can't afford it isn't going to work. so, governments are going to have to help people pay for it. a tax on carbon is one suggestion, so people — and especially companies — that use the most pay the most. whatever happens, it's going to cost a lot less than acting too slowly to deal with global warming, and there is good reason to believe a green revolution can create millions of newjobs around the world. but whether you look at the whole world orjust the local area where you live, the transition to a more sustainable economy and a more sustainable planet is only going to work if it's going to be fair. chris morris there. as we know, climate change is already reshaping our world. some regions are warming much faster than others. our environment editor, justin rowlatt, is taking a road trip, travelling from alaska to california, where even in one of the richest countries in the world, they are still struggling to cope. the top of our world is changing — warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. and it is destroying communities. my house used to be about 20 feet out where you see the water breaks. the island of shishmaref is on the front line of climate change. as temperatures rise, less sea ice forms, exposing the coast. it's getting later and later every year for this ocean to freeze up. it's tough but...got to keep going. as the climate changes, the animals and fish the people here used to live on are getting harder to find. right now we are supposed to fishing in the lagoon and up the rivers. we've got a week till, like, december probably to january to start going up again. parts of the main road have washed away and now the airstrip that is the community's lifeline to the outside world is threatened. if it gets to the runway, - then we can't use it any more. we use the runway for medivacs, we use the runway for getting - all our food flown in, all our mail. the plan is to move the entire town onto the mainland. it'll cost an estimated $180 million and means access to the sea will be much more difficult. but, says dennis, they've got no choice. what's happening here - in shishmaref is ultimately going to happen in california, j going to happen in new york. every community or city that's on the coast needs to know. what the heck's going on here, because if not they're - going to start washing away. dennis wants what's happening to his community to stand as a warning to the world. justin rowlatt, bbc news, alaska. the headlines on bbc news... three people including the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club have resigned over the club's handling of racism, experienced by one of its former players azeem rafiq. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists marching through the streets of glasgow — demanding politicians to take serious action on climate change at the cop26 summit. a fifth teenager is guilty of killing 15—year—old keon lincoln who was shot and stabbed outside his home in birmingham. the trial gets underway in the us state of georgia later, for the three white men accused of chasing and killing a black man because they thought he had looked like a crime suspect. ahmaud arbery had been jogging close to his home but his killers were only arrested after a national outcry. aleem maqbool reports from brunswick. it's been called a modern—day lynching. three armed white men in georgia pursued a young black man they said resembled a burglary suspect. they cornered him and shot and killed him. aahmaud arbery, an avid runner, had been jogging through this area just a short distance from his own home when the men just a short distance from his own home when the men decided to jump into their trucks and give chase. their own statements show one of the men involved in the killing of this 25—year—old used a racial slur as he lay dying. sadly, murals of unarmed black men who have been shot and killed are now dotted in towns and cities right across this country. but in ahmaud arbery�*s case, he didn't die at the hands of the police, but at the hands of people who believed they could act as an extension of law enforcement and do what they like. and that, after his death, appears to be precisely how the police treated them. there is body—cam footage that is too distressing to show, where we see ahmaud arbery writhing on the ground, dying, not being given attention. throughout the encounter, police provide comfort in fact, it was only ten weeks later after protests when the video of the killing taken by one of the men went viral that travis mcmichael and his father, greg, and ronnie bryan, were even arrested. they were eventually charged and now go to trial. you can intentionally and deliberately kill another person in self defence and not have committed murder. you would be not guilty. and it is still self defence if they chased him? that is because they were attempting to execute a citizen's arrest. ahmaud's case has already led to the scrapping of a civil war—era citizens arrest law in georgia. his mother told me she hoped somehow good would come out of this tragedy and the attention it has got. i hope that in losing ahmaud, that people that look like ahmaud will be able to jog, they will be able to run, they will be able to do whatever and be free. and not to be worried about being chased with guns and killed. for the trial, taking place in a city that's majority black, there will be only one african—americanjuror. and here it appears easier to overturn laws than to change the attitudes that undoubtedly contributed to ahmaud's death. aleem maqbool, bbc news brunswick, georgia. the uk s largest membership body of therapists has raised concerns that unqualified practitioners, who offer mental health treatments online, are potentially exploiting vulnerable people seeking help. the british association for counselling and psychotherapy is calling for more awareness of the correct way to seek help from registered professionals. reporterjordan dunbar has been to meet those affected itjust kind of hit me out of the blue. i was struggling quite bad, so, i wanted help quite urgently. jake suffered badly with anxiety in his last year of university. he started to look for support and treatment online. he soon came across attracting advertising on social media, promising to cure anxiety and backed with lots of patient recommendations. when a person has got quite a large following and has had ocd and has got over it and is now treating, you know, you think that that's... that that's a great sign because, firstly, they know how to get you better and, secondly, they've been through it. so you think you've struck gold. and you haven't. jake signed up for phone sessions, but the treatment wasn't what he expected, and things started to go wrong. so, you could buy individual sessions and they would be, you know, much more expensive. £200 and, you know, getting to nearly £300. the sessions would consistently be cut short. the lowest for me was 20 minutes of a 50 minute session, which is less than half then you should get. so you got your money back, right? no compensation, no mention of, "ok, that session was cut short, "but we'll make it up or you can have another one". the government advises people to seek treatment from practitioners who are part of professional bodies on the professional standards authorities register, because there will be things like a complaints system and a code of ethics. currently, it's completely legal in the uk for anyone to call themselves a therapist, psychotherapist, or a counsellor. you don't need any training or any qualifications. the training that i went through was really rigorous. it was really demanding. i feel angry for members of the public who are potentially being exploited by these people — and harmed. what harm is being done. laura tried to find mental health support online, too. she was looking for help with her ocd symptoms when she was approached on social media by a company offering to cure her. part of her treatment required her to film herself. we were asked to video ourselves in distress, . to show the world, basically. and it was... we were told that it - would be helping people. so, you know, you felt guilty. and if it wasn't quite right, l we were told to do it again. and so, you're in distress, i then try to act, you know... and it was just so unethical. as the popularity and amount of mental health treatment online increases, there are growing calls to look at tightening up the regulations in the industry, to make sure that treatment is helping patients and not harming them. jordan dunbar, bbc news. and you can watch the programme "i can cure you: online mental health cures" here on the bbc news channel on saturday the 6th november at 8.30pm. it'll be repeated on sunday 7th november at 2.30pm. after a break of 40 years, abba have released a new studio album — which benny andersson and bjorn ulvaeus say was never really planned. as a reminder — benny played the piano, bjorn the guitar, and together they wrote the scandinavian supergroup's various hits of the 1970s and early 80s. they've been telling our entertainment correspondent colin paterson they enjoyed writing a couple of new songs but hadn't set out to complete an album. colin went to visit them at their studio in stockholm. benny and bjorn in abba's home town. the good thing about living in stockholm is that people don't bother you. not in the �*70s, not in the �*80s, not now. they come up now and they're all happy and say, "wow, i'm so happy that you made a couple of new songs." the idea of making a whole album was not part of the original plan. abba had only gone back into the studio to record a couple of new tracks for next year's live show, which will feature digital recreations of the band in concert looking like they did in 1979. we had two songs. we enjoyed those. we thought they were really good so we said, "maybe we should do a couple more." and we did. and then we said, "maybe we should do a few more." so we have an album. bjorn, he's sounding very laid—back. have you got any more nerves? i mean, this is a big deal, 40 years between albums. yes. it's emotionally very difficult to grasp, actually, that we did what we did. we don't need to prove anything here. i don't think we are taking a risk because if people think that we were better 40 years ago, fine. # you're not the man. you should have been. # the album includes a number of songs about relationships ending. both couples in the band divorced shortly before the group split in 1982. people have read a lot of it into various lyrics. and of course, there is some of that in the lyrics, but most is fiction. but the emotions are there. yeah, yeah. but not the exact situations. no exactly. but after waiting 40 years for abba to get back together, the reunion could be very short. i don't want to do another abba album. but, you know, i'm not alone in this — there are four of us. yeah. if they twist my arm i might change my mind. i think you can twist his arm, bjorn. the ladies might be able to do that. yeah. it'll take them to do it, actually. yeah, i think so! colin paterson, bbc news, stockholm. my my copy of the album arrived in the post this morning in my copy of the album arrived in the post this morning in cannot my copy of the album arrived in the post this morning in cannot wait my copy of the album arrived in the post this morning in cannot wait to listen! now it's time for a look at the weather with nick cloudy skies out there for many and it's turning milder. it was 9 degrees in glasgow first thing this morning whereas across a large part of england it stayed clear for long enough last night for a frost and in benson in oxfordshire the temperature was close to —5, the lowest reading of the season so far. and it was the frosty parts of england that had sunshine this morning, this satellite picture from earlier shows the cloud moving in from the west, but changing the wind direction from the chilly northerly to a less cold westerly around this area of high pressure from the atlantic and behind the weather front moving south as that keeps on moving south it is as that keeps on moving south it's squeezing away the chilly conditions from the far south—east of england. in the flow of air coming in from the atlantic there is plenty of cloud and not a huge amount of rain and maybe light rain and drizzle from the thickest cloud and western areas and more persistent rain in north—west scotland. to the east of the high ground and across many eastern parts of the uk, a few sunny spells and bright skies for much of the day into kent and east sussex. and, as for temperatures, they are a little higher than they have been but still quite chilly in east anglia and south—east england before the milder airfilters in. a dry bonfire night for many places but still some rain across northern scotland, turning heavy in the north—west with the stronger wind as the night goes on. no frost around with largely cloudy skies going into the morning. so, tomorrow, we're going to bring an area of rain south across scotland, through northern ireland and into northern england and it will be heaviest to the west of the pennines and into wales were as much of the midlands and southern england will stay mainly dry until we get to the later stages of the afternoon and evening. behind the area of rain, brightening up in northern ireland and scotland. blustery showers in northern scotland. it's turning windy across all parts but particularly northern scotland, and bear this in mind for any organised fireworks displays on saturday evening as we will have strong, gusty winds, especially in coastal areas and it could be 70mph for a time and into sunday morning coupled with high tides, it could produce dangerous waves on the coast. so still windy early on sunday with plenty of showers here before the winds ease and for many places on sunday the chance of a shower but most will stay dry, sunny spells especially in eastern parts and temperatures are still on the mild side. this is bbc news. i'm ben boulos. the headlines... three people, including the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club, have resigned over the club's handling of racism, experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past. a culture that finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if it can move forward. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists marching through the streets of glasgow — demanding politicians take serious action on climate change at the cop26 summit. the swedish activist urged glasgow workers who are on strike during the summit tojoin her on the march through the city centre — this is the scene there now. a fifth teenager is guilty of killing 15—year—old keon lincoln who was shot and stabbed outside his home in birmingham. a new experimental pill to treat covid—19 — trial results show it can cut the risk of hospitalisation or death by nearly 90% in vulnerable adults. and gimme, gimme, gimme — new music that's been a long time coming. we speak to abba, on the day they release their first studio album in 40 years. good afternoon, and welcome to bbc news. the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club and two other board members have resigned, in the wake of its response to the racism experienced by azeem rafiq when he was a player there. roger hutton has apologised unreservedly to mr rafiq, and has criticised the governing body — the england and wales cricket board — for what he says was its failure to help. it comes after an investigation found azeem rafiq had been subject to racial harassment and bullying during his time with yorkshire — but the club said it would take no disciplinary action. azeem rafiq represented yorkshire in two stints between 2008 and 2018, and said institutional racism had left him close to taking his own life. here's our sports correspondent, laura scott. chanting. in yorkshire's158—year history, it has never faced a crisis like this. at the end of a disastrous week for one of the country's most prestigious cricket clubs, the man in charge bowed to the mounting pressure on him, telling the bbc why he had to go. more broadly than that, i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past, a culture that finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if it could move forward. his departure comes more than a year after former yorkshire player azeem rafiq came forward, alleging institutional racism at the club. an investigation found he had been the victim of harassment and bullying, but yorkshire said no disciplinary action would be taken and the full report, which included a racial slur against rafiq being dismissed as friendly banter, has still not been published. last night, the england and wales cricket board hit the club with unprecedented punishment for what it called "the wholly unacceptable handling of the situation". they included launching a full governance review, the threat of financial sanctions and a suspension on the club hosting international or major matches. yorkshire's gary ballance was also suspended from england selection after he admitted to using a racial slur against azeem rafiq. it's been clear that throughout this investigation we've had concerns about the manner in which decisions are made, and it's very clear that given the conclusion of the investigation and subsequent action that's been taken — and respective disciplinary action to those implicated — it's very clear that there has been a lack of realisation of the seriousness of the issue and the implications for the wider game. so, again, the board have felt compelled to take this action. the racism scandal here has led to a commercial catastrophe, with a long list of sponsors cutting ties with the club, among them the stadium sponsor, emerald, the kit supplier nike, and household brands like yorkshire tea. the concerns over the culture at the club extend beyond those with their names on the wall, and to those who might be coming through these gates. one localfather told us he'd no longer be sending his two young sons to coaching sessions at headingley. i don't think it's a safe organisation for my children to visit, i don't think it's a safe organisation for people of colour at the moment. i think there needs to be root and branch change at the organisation before i would ever consider going back. i guess that my ultimate fear is that they, too, would become victims of racism — and i'm not going to accept that. it's more about trying to get systemic change in a club like yorkshire. change has proven to be very difficult and the club, i think, has failed to evolve quickly enough in the way that society is changing and our attitudes towards race and racism. last night, the former england captain, michael vaughan, revealed he was named in the report for allegedly telling a group of asian players, including rafiq, in 2009, that there were "too many of you lot". in his daily telegraph column, vaughan wrote... this deeply damaging and continually developing race row has engulfed yorkshire. but the ramifications are being felt far beyond the boundaries of headingley. i'm joined now by grassroots cricket coach, shahid ali, who is the chairperson of the allama iqbal cricket club in sheffield. the development have been living this afternoon. three board members have resigned now in the last day or so, and ijust wonder what you make of the direction all of this is going on? i of the direction all of this is going on?— of the direction all of this is going on? of the direction all of this is auoin on? :, , , ., going on? i mean, it is very damning and damaging _ going on? i mean, it is very damning and damaging what _ going on? i mean, it is very damning and damaging what has _ going on? i mean, it is very damning and damaging what has come - going on? i mean, it is very damning and damaging what has come out. i going on? i mean, it is very damning i and damaging what has come out. from where it was a week ago to where it is now, it is all of a sudden we have opened this pandora's box of deep—rooted issues within cricket, notjust in yorkshire. it feels like the ecb is involved as well somehow. i think we need to step away slightly from the immediate issues and look at it in a wider sense. where are we going as a country, as a community, where issues such as these, which we would have thought had moved on from decades ago are still prevalent within the cricket, the game of cricket, which is very saddening. it is normally known as a gentleman's game, but from what we are hearing it is farfrom it. in this day and age, how is this appalling behaviour allowed to exist and how is it allowed to manifest within the cricket community? especially at the level of yorkshire? i think the ecb has to hold its hand up, i think we need... this is cricket's black lives matter moment. we need to ask these questions. as a cricket club within sheffield, we have had fantastic support from yorkshire cricket board. let me put that there. we have worked with them over the last four and five years. they have supported us through thick and thin. i cannot sing their praises enough, as far as our cricket club is concerned. with all of these issues coming out, i have seen stories this morning around things that could be described as islamophobia. how is this a reflection of the positivity that we are trying to... ? how is this going to change the game for the positive? as bad as it is, it is not a reflection of all cricket loving yorkshire folk. there are a few bad apples. maybe more than a fee. but that doesn't represent an entire community, and we know that as a south asian community, a largely muslim population, how if you people don't represent the many. it was outside the remit of the ecb at this point of time, where members of parliament will have to get involved. we need a branch discussion and a real investigation of where we are as a cricketing community and where we are as a country, and how we move forward. because we have to move forward. we don't want to lose young people from the game, we don't want to see reports... previous reports from the year showed that grassroots cricket, large amounts of south asian cricketers are playing there. we want them to keep interested. we want them to keep interested. we want them to come through. but is the environment conducive to them coming through? are we supporting them? are we doing the best we can for them all the way through? we must leave it there, but thank you very much for speaking with us. the education secretary, nadhim zahawi, has apologised for what he called the mistake that led to the government u—turn on reforming the commons standards system. the conservative mp at the centre of the row, owen paterson, resigned, after the government changed its mind about blocking his suspension from parliament for breaking lobbying rules. mr paterson has spoken again this afternoon, as our political correspondent jonathan blake explains. he's tweeted, saying that he would like to thank the many people who, he says, have got in touch to send their kind wishes to him and his family this week. and he goes on to say that, at this difficult time, he will be stepping back from his consultancy work to focus on his family and suicide prevention. the government, as you say, have acknowledged that they got this wrong. speaking at the cop26 climate summit in glasgow, the education secretary, nadhim zahawi, acknowledged that it was a mistake to link owen pattinson's case with plans to overhaul the system. i think the mistake — and i'm absolutely able to say to you we did make a mistake and it's right to move very quickly, within 24 hours, and say, actually, you know what? we shouldn't have conflated those two things. that is a mistake. and that is something that rightly your viewers are saying, actually, why did you make that mistake? all i can say is, i'm sorry we made that mistake, but it was right to move quickly. and actually, it's much more human. i would prefer a leader that is able to reflect and come back and say we have made a mistake than one that simply ploughs on ahead. after a pretty damaging and embarrassing episode for the government, they'd probably like to leave it like that, but labour are not letting them — at least for now. they're trying to keep this running, and turning the attention back on to borisjohnson and his holiday. specifically, one he took last month to marbella. the deputy leader of the labour party, angela rayner, has written to the independent parliamentary commissioner for standards, katherine stone, asking her to look into borisjohnson's register or not of that holiday in the house of commons members register of interests. just to read you a little of what angela rayner has written to katherine stone, in a letter today she has called on her to open a investigation, saying that "he should have registered that holiday, which was provided by the family of zac goldsmith, a conservative peer, in the register of parliamentary interests. " asked about this earlier on, the prime minister's is spokesperson said he had registered it in the ministerial register of interests, which is a slightly separate register. and that, in their view, that was clearly the right thing to do, because they described it as hospitality from a long—standing family friend who provided the use of their holiday home. whether the labour party will see it that way, whether more importantly the parliamentary commissioner for standards will see it that way, we will have to see, if and when she response from this letter from labour later today. thousands of people, including many schoolchildren, are protesting on the streets of glasgow, calling on world leaders at the cop26 climate summit to take action to tackle global warming. the campaigner greta thunberg is among them, on the day that debate at cop is focused on younger people. the education secretary will set out a new strategy for schools in england, including a duke of edinburgh style award scheme recognising efforts to protect the environment. let's get more now from alexandra mackenzie, who's in glasgow. the rally is well under way. there are young activists here from all over the world, and i'm joined by three of them. ali, you are from tanzania. welcome to glasgow. how optimistic are you that we are going to get some change out of cop26? i want to very optimistic at cop26. at this one. _ want to very optimistic at cop26. at this one. i_ want to very optimistic at cop26. at this one, i really want to be optimistic that the world leaders... we have _ optimistic that the world leaders... we have seen the impact of the climate — we have seen the impact of the climate change. i believe we need to do it right _ climate change. i believe we need to do it right now because climate change — do it right now because climate change is — do it right now because climate change is affecting us right now. we see very— change is affecting us right now. we see very huge number of changes that are happening. the crop yields are very low — are happening. the crop yields are very low. mount kilimanjaro is really — very low. mount kilimanjaro is really in — very low. mount kilimanjaro is really in a _ very low. mount kilimanjaro is really in a bad state. into zanzibar, how much the ocean has eaten— zanzibar, how much the ocean has eaten up— zanzibar, how much the ocean has eaten up the land. we need to act right— eaten up the land. we need to act right now — eaten up the land. we need to act riaht now. a, i. ., :, right now. monica, you are from can on. right now. monica, you are from canyon. welcome _ right now. monica, you are from canyon. welcome to _ right now. monica, you are from canyon. welcome to glasgow. i right now. monica, you are from i canyon. welcome to glasgow. how urgent is it, and what will you be taking away from glasgow back to your country? == taking away from glasgow back to your country?— taking away from glasgow back to our count ? ,~ ., :, :, your country? -- kenya. i want to go back to young — your country? -- kenya. i want to go back to young people _ your country? -- kenya. i want to go back to young people i _ your country? -- kenya. i want to go back to young people i work -

"where's my son?" i found out that there was somebody up the road and, yeah, it was my boy. a week after he died, the community gathered to remember him and appealfor calm. this situation that we're in, with the postcode war, needs to stop. and we have to now learn to respect each other and love each other in the way that we ought to love each other. and we can only do that by putting away the knife and the gun. the stolen car was abandoned a couple of miles away. in it, they found a knife and a mask with dna. there was more cctv footage and phone records, which led to the arrest and now conviction of four teenagers for murder. michael ugochukwu and tahjgeem breakenridge, both 18. the other two killers can't be named because of their ages — they're 14 and 16. another 18—year—old, kieron donaldson, was convicted of manslaughter. the weapons that are being used, they're terrifying weapons — - to think that the knives, i they're more like swords. the weapons that young people are getting hold of, _ they should never be getting hold of weapons such as those. - it's diabolical. it's unnecessary. it never needed to happen. so we, you know, are trying to come to terms with thati and so we just want closure. we still don't know why keon lincoln was killed but he has become another teenage casualty in a city that's lost too many young lives in recent years. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. the pharmaceutical manufacturer, pfizer, has said that a clinical trial of a new pill to treat covid—19 shows that the drug is highly effective. the product is called paxlovid, and is reported to have achieved an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death — that's among adult patients with coronavirus who are at high risk of progressing to severe illness. with me now is our health correspondentjim reed. we're starting to see the same thing this year but this time it's not vaccines, it's treatments. so these are aimed at people who have already caught covid who might be vulnerable, elderly, have underlying health conditions — so we had the uk drugs regulator approving the first pill to treat covid in that way and today clinical trial results for a different pill, this time developed by the us drug company pfizer, and, again, they're very, very strong. so this one, if you give this pill in the trial within three to five days of catching covid, then it cuts the risk of hospitalisation in that very vulnerable group by 89%, which is very positive. there were no deaths at all from covid in the group that took the pill. in the group that took the dummy pill, the placebo in this trial, there were ten deaths. so you can see, these are the kind of products, the kind of treatments that are likely to be used going forward. they won't be for everyone, they will be for that very much smaller group of vulnerable, elderly people that might benefit from a treatment like this. the uk has already ordered 250,000 causes of this pfizer drug. no details yet on when it will become available. you'd imagine that they'll push for authorisation from the drug regulatory bodies very soon. the brexit minister, david frost, has said only "limited progress" has been made in talks between the uk and the eu in brussels, as both sides try and resolve a dispute over northern ireland. britain wants to change the northern ireland protocol, which is designed to regulate trade and prevent the need for a hard border in ireland. but significant differences remain between the two sides, leading to speculation london may suspend the deal. european commission vice—president, maros sefcovic, spoke earlier to say there had been no movement from the uk's side in negotiations. we have seen no move at all from the uk side. ifind we have seen no move at all from the uk side. i find this disappointing and, once again, i urge the uk government to engage with us sincerely. from this perspective, i see next week as an important one. we should focus all efforts on reaching a solution as soon as possible. ouraim reaching a solution as soon as possible. our aim should be to establish stability and predictability for northern ireland. we hear a lot about article 16 at the moment. let there be no doubt that triggering article 16 to seek the renegotiation of the protocol would have serious consequences. serious for northern ireland, as it would lead to instability and unpredictability. and serious also for the eu— uk relations in general, as it would mean a rejection of eu efforts to find a consensual solution to the implementation of the protocol. discussions were continue at expert level. i am committed to travelling to london on the 12th of november. students at 37 universities across the uk face disruption after a vote for industrial action by academic and administrative staff in a dispute over pensions. members of the university and college union said universities needed to urgently revoke the pension cuts and return to the negotiating table to avoid strike action. universities uk says changes are required to avoid escalating contribution costs. a shortage of taxi drivers across the country is leading to concerns about public safety, according to the industry trade body. the licensed private hire car association says more than half of licenced drivers haven't returned to work after the pandemic, leaving a shortfall of 160,000 drivers. that's prompted concerns about the safety of shift workers and people struggling to get home. coletta smith reports. welcome to the sugarmill. this 600 capacity venue has been packed to the rafters since it reopened. i've worked in venues for 20 years. i've honestly never known it this bad. but for clubbers and for staff, it's a nightmare to get a taxi once the party is over. i'm leaving at about four o'clock in the morning, maybe even five, and then having to wait until six o'clock in the morning to get a taxi. it's a long time to be stood by yourself in town, and for me, it's the safety issue. so if we go back in time, pre—pandemic, i'd probably only be waiting about five, ten minutes. taz isn't just worried for her staff. so if we've got a vulnerable individual, a young woman that's left on her own, it's making sure that she can get home, so getting her into a cab. the majority of people are just giving up and walking home and we don't want lone individuals wandering around the streets just by themselves. now that the nights are getting colder and darker, getting home safely from a night out is crucial. but taxis provide a really vital service at any time of the day, whether it's getting staff into work, whether it's a hospital appointment, or even just doing the weekly shop. the shortfall of drivers is leading to long waits and high prices. a lot of them retired. a lot of them couldn't actually keep the payments up on their vehicles. their national trade body says taxi drivers found otherjobs when their trade dried up during lockdowns and it's too costly and time—consuming to restart. the drivers are being faced with a massive great big outlay. the time he or she has probably been earning 15% of what they normally do — some people literally haven't been able to carry on. a taxi licence from a local council can set you back as much as £600, and waiting for the medical and criminal records checks can take months. a handful of councils have been proactive, though. in the summer, torbay council in devon saw this problem coming and cut the cost of their licence tojust 50 quid. they've got 25 new drivers but still need at least 25 more. as the christmas season puts extra demand on taxi firms, customers can only hope that more councils take action to make sure everyone can get home safely. colette smith, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick. hello, our weather is turning a little milder again, with plenty of cloud moving in from the atlantic. just the far south east of england holding on to the sunshine for the longest today. from the cloud in the west, a few spots of light rain and drizzle. for example, into the hills in cumbria. more especially north—west scotland. but if you're to the east of high ground, there's still the chance of seeing some sunny spells occasionally. and temperatures are a little higher than they've been but still feeling quite chilly in east anglia and south—east england after the frosty start. no frost tonight. plenty of cloud around. mainly dry bonfire night. still outbreaks of rain in north—west scotland that are going to turn heavier as the night goes on, along with a strengthening wind. these are the temperatures going into saturday morning. so, for saturday, we're going to take some rain south across scotland, through northern ireland, into northern england — mainly to the west of the pennines — into wales. for the midlands, east anglia and southern england, a few showers but some patchy rain eventually heading in later afternoon and into the evening. brightening up with further showers in scotland and northern ireland. a windier day for all. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... three board members, including the chairman, of yorkshire county cricket club have resigned over the club's handling of racism experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists marching through the streets of glasgow — demanding politicians to take serious action on climate change at the cop26 summit. a fifth teenager is guilty of killing 15—year—old keon lincoln who was shot and stabbed outside his home in birmingham a new experimental pill to treat covid—19 — trial results show it can cut the risk of hospitalisation or death by nearly 90% in vulnerable adults. and gimme, gimme, gimme — new music that's been a long time coming. we speak to abba, on the day they release their first studio album in 40 years sport and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. yorkshire county cricket club has annouced a number of changes to its board, following the resignation of it's chairman roger hutton. two more board members have stepped down and lord kamlesh patel of bradford has been appointed the new director and chair of the club. the changes come as the club tries to address allegations of racism. a report found former player azeem rafiq had been the victim of racial harrassment and bullying — but the club said they would take no disciplinary action. the out—going chair roger hutton has been spealing exclusively to our sports editor dan roan — here's what he had to say when asked if there was evidence of institutional racism at yorkshire county cricket club: i've not personally met anyone that i would consider racist at yorkshire county cricket club, but i have seen the report and i have seen the allegations being upheld of acts that have been racist from people who are no longer at the club. more broadly than that, i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past, a culture that is, finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if we could move forward. in the t20 world cup scotland

recovered from a sticky start against namibia to post 163 for 4 and remain in the hunt for a semifinal place. namibia were always struggling and in the end could only muster 111 for 7. they go out of the competition. new tottenham head coach antonio conte will take charge of the side for the first time in the premier league on sunday at everton. he guided spurs to a 3—2 win against vitesse arnhem in the europa conference league last night and wants to make sure the club establishes an identity and way of playing. you must have vision. i think this club had a great vision outside of the pitch. now i think we are to start to have a vision also on the pitch. on the football topic and i think it is important if we want to win. the rfu have confirmed that owen farrell will miss the captains run today ahead of tomorrows match with tonga after testing positive for covid. he'll remain in isolation ahead of another lateral flow and pcr test later today so it is not yet clear whether he will have to miss the game. meanwhile saracen's number 8 poppy cleall has been named as england women's captain for the first time when they face new zealand this sunday. regular skipper sarah hunter is on the bench as head coach simon middleton makes five changes to the side that beat the world champions last week. i was shocked. you know, i was honoured. i didn't hesitate and i wasjust like, yes! of course i want to be england captain of the game. and, yeah, when the team came out of the whole wider squad i got dropped loads of messages of congratulations and a little bit of ribbon as well but it was great for them to find out as well and drop me the messages. you know, ijust can't wait for this weekend now. scotland have named a strong side to face australia in sunday with prop pierre schoemann winning his second cap... last weekend's win over tonga fell outside the international window — meaning many players were unavailable so gregor townsend has recalled captain stuart hogg at full back with the likes of ali price and finn russell returning too. british and irish lions duhan van der merwe and hamish watson also start that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. catherine, thank you very much indeed. thousands of young people have marched through the streets of glasgow to demand action on climate change from politicians at cop26. the climate strike was organised by fridays for future scotland who said they're demanding climate justice and seeking to hold global leaders to account. campaigner greta thunberg was among the protesters on the march, and is due to speak to crowds in george square. it comes as the cop26 talks feature events highlighting the voice of young people and education in climate action. fatou jeng from gambia is

malala fund and... working group as well as other groups. we had an environmental message and talked about concerns regarding equality, education and the need for young people to have access to... at home because all of this is recommended that young people's have been demanding only for inclusivity in the climate process but also their voices and expertise, sort of, like, included in the process as far as climate activism is concerned. over the past few days i have been included in many discussions on gender and climate change and share discussions and from the discussions we have had so far,

local community, and what they can do to reduce air pollution on theirjourney to school. let's cross over to the saltley academy, tojoin the bbc yes, because as you have just been hearing the focus at cop26 today is all about what can be done to protect the future environment and the climate that today's young people are going to grow up in and we have been spending the day here at sully academy. it is a couple of miles from the centre of birmingham and it is actually one of the places in the city that has got the youngest population. air pollution is one of the climate issues here and we're here at solely because they are very the student here and that they have spent the whole day doing special activities learning more about their local environment and the ways in which they can change their lives in little ways are big ways to help protect a little bit. interestingly, birmingham as a whole, is a city, they actually... there are reports that suggest air pollution contributes to around 900 deaths each year, so pretty important to do something about it. here at solely, very proactive head teacher peter white has done quite a lot of work including this air pollution monitor that you can see behind me. talk to me about this, because it's quite clever. , , ~ �* me about this, because it's quite clever. , , . �* ., , clever. yes, it is. we're really lucky that _ clever.

busy, pretty congested. it is measuring particulates and it is measuring information is going into, sort of, a global map and we can in real—time look at the quality of our air compared to anywhere else in the world who has a monitor fitted. which is incredible. it is amazing, you know, sort of putting you on the global map in that way. what can you do locally with that information? for glaxo voters, now, we have been able to track the difference in air quality and actually we are quite fortunate the majority of the time we do actually have some really good nice quality air. however, you can easily see the pattern emerging, even over this week there were busy periods, say, at eight o'clock in the morning at the end of the day now in the street is nearly at standstill that the air

across the country are starting to think and talk more about their own futures. the headlines on bbc news... three board members including the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club have resigned over the club's handling of racism, experienced by one of its former players azeem rafiq. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists marching through the streets of glasgow — demanding politicians to take serious action on climate change at the cop26 summit. a fifth teenager is guilty of killing 15—year—old keon lincoln who was shot and stabbed outside his home in birmingham the trial gets under way in the us state of georgia later, for the three white men accused of chasing and killing a black man because they thought he had looked like a crime suspect. ahmaud arbery had been jogging close to his home but his killers were only arrested after a national outcry. aleem maqbool reports from brunswick. it's been called a modern—day lynching. three armed white men in georgia pursued a young black man they said resembled a burglary suspect. they cornered him and shot and killed him. aahmaud arbery, an avid runner, had been jogging through this area just a short distance from his own home when the men decided tojump into their trucks and give chase. their own statements show one of the men involved in the killing of this 25—year—old used a racial slur as he lay dying. well, sadly, murals of unarmed black men who've been shot and killed are now dotted in towns and cities right across this country. but in ahmaud arbery�*s case, he didn't die at the hands of the police, but at the hands of people who believed they could act as an extension of law enforcement and do what they like. and that, after his death, appears to be precisely how the police treated them. there's body—cam footage that's too distressing to show, where we see ahmaud arbery writhing on the ground, dying, not being given attention. throughout the encounter, police provide comfort to the men who killed him. i can only imagine... in fact, it was only ten weeks later, after protests when the video of the killing taken by one of the men went viral, that travis mcmichael and his father, greg, and ronnie bryan, were even arrested. they were eventually charged and now go to trial. you can intentionally and deliberately kill another person in self defence and not have committed murder. you would be not guilty. and it is still self defence if they chased him? that is because they were attempting to execute a citizen's arrest. ahmaud's case has already led to the scrapping of a civil war—era citizens arrest law in georgia. his mother told me she hoped somehow good would come out of this tragedy and the attention it's got. i hope that in losing ahmaud, that people that look like ahmaud they will be able to do whatever and be free. for the trial, taking place in a city that's majority black, there will be only one african—americanjuror, and here it appears easier to overturn laws than to change the attitudes that undoubtedly contributed to ahmaud's death. aleem maqbool, bbc news, brunswick, georgia. the uk s largest membership body of therapists has raised concerns that unqualified practitioners, who offer mental health treatments online, are potentially exploiting vulnerable people seeking help. the british association for counselling and psychotherapy is calling for more awareness of the correct way to seek help from registered professionals. reporterjordan dunbar has been to meet those affected itjust, kind of, hit me out of the blue. i was struggling quite bad, so i wanted help quite urgently. jake suffered badly with anxiety in his last year of university. he started to look for support and treatment online. he soon came across attracting advertising on social media, promising to cure anxiety and backed with lots of patient recommendations. when a person has got quite a large following and has had ocd and has got over it and is now treating, you know, you think that that's... that that's a great sign because, firstly, they know how to get you better, and, secondly, they've been through it. so you think you've struck gold. and you haven't. jake signed up for phone sessions, but the treatment wasn't what he expected, and things started to go wrong. so, you could buy individual sessions and they would be, you know, much more expensive. £200 and, you know, getting to nearly £300. the sessions would consistently be cut short. the lowest for me was 20 minutes of a 50 minute session, which is less than half then you should get. so you got your money back, right? no compensation, no mention of, "ok, that session was cut short, "but we'll make it up or you can have another one". the government advises people to seek treatment from practitioners who are part of professional bodies on the professional standards authorities register, because there will be things like a complaints system and a code of ethics. currently, it's completely legal in the uk for anyone to call themselves a therapist, psychotherapist, or a counsellor. you don't need any training or any qualifications. the training that i went through was really rigorous. it was really demanding. i feel angry for members of the public who are potentially being exploited by these people — and harmed. what harm is being done. laura tried to find mental health support online, too. she was looking for help with her ocd symptoms when she was approached on social media by a company offering to cure her. part of her treatment required her to film herself. we were asked to video ourselves in distress, i to show the world, basically. and it was... we were told that it - would be helping people, so, you know, you felt guilty. and if it wasn't quite right, l we were told to do it again. and so, you're in distress, - then trying to act, and you know... and it was just so unethical. as the popularity and amount of mental health treatment online increases, there are growing calls to look at tightening up the regulations in the industry, to make sure that treatment is helping patients and not harming them. jordan dunbar, bbc news. and you can watch the programme "i can cure you" — online mental health cures here on the bbc news channel on saturday the 6th november at 8.30pm. it'll be repeated on sunday 7th november at 2.30pm. after a break of 40 years, abba have released a new studio album — which benny andersson and bjorn ulvaeus say was never really planned. as a reminder — benny played the piano, bjorn the guitar, and together they wrote the scandinavian supergroup's numerous hits of the 1970s and early �*80s. they've been telling our entertainment correspondent colin paterson they enjoyed writing a couple of new songs but hadn't set out to complete an album. colin went to visit them at their studio in stockholm. benny and bjorn in abba's home town. the good thing about living in stockholm is that people don't bother you. not in the �*70s, not in the �*80s, not now. they come up now and they're all happy and say, "wow, i'm so happy that you made a couple of new songs." the idea of making a whole album was not part of the original plan. abba had only gone back into the studio to record a couple of new tracks for next year's live show, which will feature digital recreations of the band in concert looking like they did in 1979. we had two songs. we enjoyed those. we thought they were really good so we said, "maybe we should do a couple more." and we did. and then we said, "maybe we should do a few more." so we have an album. bjorn, he's sounding very laid—back. have you got any more nerves? i mean, this is a big deal, 40 years between albums. yes. it's emotionally very difficult to grasp, actually, that we did what we did. we don't need to prove anything here. i don't think we are taking a risk because if people think that we were better 40 years ago, fine. # you're not the man. you should have been. # the album includes a number of songs about relationships ending. both couples in the band divorced shortly before the group split in 1982. people have read a lot of it into various lyrics. and of course, there is some of that in the lyrics, but most is fiction. but the emotions are there. yeah, yeah. but not the exact situations. no exactly. but after waiting 40 years for abba to get back together, the reunion could be very short. i've said that's it. i don't want to do another abba album. but, you know, i'm not alone in this — there are four of us. yeah. if they twist my arm i might change my mind. i think you can twist his arm, bjorn. the ladies might be able to do that. yeah. it'll take them to do it, actually. yeah, i think so! colin paterson, bbc news, stockholm. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick i was very excited when the abba album arrived in the morning in the post on cd! remember those? know it's time for the weather with nick miller. cloudy skies out there for many and it's turning milder. it was 9 degrees in glasgow first thing this morning whereas across a large part of england it stayed clear for long enough last night for a frost and in benson in oxfordshire the temperature was close to —5, the lowest reading of the season so far. and it was the frosty parts of england that had sunshine this morning, this satellite picture from earlier shows the cloud moving in from the west, but changing the wind direction from the chilly northerly to a less cold westerly around this area of high pressure from the atlantic behind this weather front moving south. as that keeps on moving south it's squeezing away the chilly conditions from the far south—east of england. in the flow of air coming in from the atlantic there is plenty of cloud and not a huge amount of rain and maybe light rain and drizzle from the thickest cloud and western areas and more persistent rain in north—west scotland. to the east of the high ground and across many eastern parts of the uk, a few sunny spells and bright skies for much of the day into kent and east sussex. and, as for temperatures, they are a little higher than they have been but still quite chilly in east anglia and south—east england before the milder airfilters in. a dry bonfire night for many places but still some rain across northern scotland, turning heavy in the north—west with the stronger wind as the night goes on. no frost around with largely cloudy skies going into the morning. so, tomorrow, we're going to bring an area of rain south across scotland, through northern ireland and into northern england and it will be heaviest to the west of the pennines and into wales were as much of the midlands and southern england will stay mainly dry until we get to the later stages of the afternoon and evening. behind the area of rain, brightening up in northern ireland and scotland. blustery showers in northern scotland. it's turning windy across all parts but particularly northern scotland, and bear this in mind for any organised fireworks displays on saturday evening as we will have strong, gusty winds, especially in coastal areas, and it could be 70mph for a time and into sunday morning. coupled with high tides, it could produce dangerous waves on the coast. so, still windy early on sunday with plenty of showers here before the winds ease and for many places on sunday the chance of a shower but most will stay dry, sunny spells especially in eastern parts and temperatures are still on the mild side. this is bbc news. i'm ben boulos. the headlines at four... three board members, including the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club, have resigned over the club's handling of racism, experienced by one of its former players, azeem rafiq. i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past. a culture that finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if it can move forward. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists marching through the streets of glasgow — demanding politicians to take serious action on climate change at the cop26 summit. the swedish activist urged glasgow workers who are on strike during the summit tojoin her on the march through the city centre — this is the scene there now. a fifth teenager is found guilty of killing 15—year—old keon lincoln who was shot and stabbed outside his home in birmingham. a new experimental pill to treat covid—19 — trial results show it can cut the risk of hospitalisation or death by nearly 90% in vulnerable adults. and gimme, gimme, gimme — new music that's been a long time coming. we speak to abba, on the day they release their first studio album in 40 years. hello, good afternoon. the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club has resigned, in the wake of its response to the racism experienced by azeem rafiq when he was a player there. roger hutton has apologised unreservedly to mr rafiq, and has criticised the governing body — the england and wales cricket board — for what he says was its failure to help. it comes after an investigation found azeem rafiq had been subject to racial harassment and bullying during his time with yorkshire — but the club said it would take no disciplinary action. azeem rafiq represented yorkshire in two stints between 2008 and 2018, and said institutional racism had left him close to taking his own life. here's our sports correspondent, laura scott. chanting. in yorkshire's158—year history, it has never faced a crisis like this. at the end of a disastrous week for one of the country's most prestigious cricket clubs, the man in charge bowed to the mounting pressure on him, telling the bbc why he had to go. more broadly than that, i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past, a culture that finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if it could move forward. his departure comes more than a year after former yorkshire player azeem rafiq came forward, alleging institutional racism at the club. an investigation found he had been the victim of harassment and bullying, but yorkshire said no disciplinary action would be taken and the full report, which included a racial slur against rafiq being dismissed as friendly banter, has still not been published. last night, the england and wales cricket board hit the club with unprecedented punishment for what it called "the wholly unacceptable handling of the situation". they included launching a full governance review, the threat of financial sanctions and a suspension on the club hosting international or major matches. yorkshire's gary ballance was also suspended from england selection after he admitted to using a racial slur against azeem rafiq. it's been clear that throughout this investigation, we've had concerns about the manner in which decisions are made, and it's very clear that given the conclusion of the investigation and subsequent action that's been taken — and respective disciplinary action to those implicated — it's very clear that there has been a lack of realisation of the seriousness of the issue and the implications for the wider game. so, again, the board have felt compelled to take this action. the racism scandal here has led to a commercial catastrophe, with a long list of sponsors cutting ties with the club — among them the stadium sponsor, emerald, the kit supplier nike, and household brands like yorkshire tea. the concerns over the culture at the club extend beyond those with their names on the wall, and to those who might be coming through these gates. one localfather told us he'd no longer be sending his two young sons to coaching sessions at headingley. i don't think it's a safe organisation for my children to visit, i don't think it's a safe organisation for people of colour at the moment. i think there needs to be root and branch change at the organisation before i would ever consider going back. i guess that my ultimate fear is that they, too, would become victims of racism — and i'm not going to accept that. it's more about trying to get systemic change in a club like yorkshire. change has proven to be very difficult and the club, i think, has failed to evolve quick enough in the way that society is changing and our attitudes towards race and racism. last night, the former england captain, michael vaughan, revealed he was named in the report for allegedly telling a group of asian players, including rafiq, in 2009, that there were "too many of you lot". in his daily telegraph column, vaughan wrote... this deeply damaging and continually developing race row has engulfed yorkshire. but the ramifications are being felt far beyond the boundaries of headingley. let's cross to glasgow now, where thousands of young people are taking part in a march where the un climate summit is today focusing on youth. the swedish

taking part in that, demanding that the leaders, the politicians that cop26 take meaningful steps to tackle global warming. greta thunberg are about to take to the stage and address the protesters gathered. you can see her just in the corner of the screen, making her way up to the stage. let's cross there and listen live to greta thunberg, the swedish climate activist. : ~ greta thunberg, the

crisis with the same methods that got us into it in the first place. and more and more people are starting to realise this. many are starting to realise this. many are starting to realise this. many are starting to ask themselves what will it take for the people in power to wake up? but let's be clear, they are already awake. they know exactly what they are doing. they know exactly what priceless values they are sacrificing to maintain business as usual. the leaders are not doing nothing. they are actively creating loopholes and shaping frameworks to benefit themselves, and to continue profiting from this destructive system. this is an active choice by the leaders to continue to let the exploitation of people and nature and the destruction of present and future living conditions to take place. the cop has turned into a pr event, where leaders are giving beautiful speeches and announcing vanity commitments and targets, while behind the curtains the governments of the global north countries are still refusing to take any drastic climate action. it seems like their main goal is to continue to fight for the status quo. and cop26 has been named the most exclusionary cop ever. this is no longer a climate conference. this is now a global north green wash festival. a two week long celebration of business as usual and blah, blah, blah. the most affected people in the most affected areas still remain unheard. and the voices of future generations are drowning in their green wash and empty words and promises. but the facts do not live, and we know that our emperors are naked. to stay below the target set in the paris agreement and thereby minimizing the risks of setting off in reversible —— irreversible action, we need immediate annual emission cuts, unlike anything the world has ever seen. and as we don't have the technological solutions that alone will do anything even close to that, that means we will have to fundamentally change our society. this is the uncomfortable result of our leaders's repeated failure to address this crisis. as the current emissions rates, our remaining co2 budgets to give us the best chances of staying below 1.5 celsius will be gone by the end of this decade. and the climate and ecological crisis does not exist in a vacuum, it is directly tied to other crisis and injustices that date back to colonialism and beyond. crisis based on the idea that some people are worth more than others, and therefore have the right to steal and exploit others, and steal their land and resources. and it is a very na ve of us to think that we can solve this crisis without addressing the root causes of it. but this is not going to be spoken about inside the cop. it is just too uncomfortable. it was much easier for them to simply ignore the historical debt that the countries of the global north have towards the most affected people and areas. and the question we must now ask ourselves is, what is it that we are fighting for? are we fighting to save ourselves and the living planet? orare save ourselves and the living planet? or are we fighting to maintain business as usual? are leaders say that we can have both. but the harsh truth is that that is not possible in practice. the people in power can continue to live in their bubble, filled with their fantasies, like eternal growth on a finite planet and technological solutions that will suddenly appear, seemingly out of nowhere, and will erase all of these crisis just like that. all this while the world is literally burning, on fire, and wealthy people living on the front lines are still bearing the brunt of the climate crisis. they can continue to ignore the consequences of their inaction but history will judge temporarily, and we will not accept it. we don't need any more distant, non—binding pledges. we don't need any more empty promises. any more commitments that are full of loopholes and incomplete statistics, and that ignore the historical emissions and climate justice. and that ignore the historical emissions and climatejustice. yet thatis emissions and climatejustice. yet that is all that we are getting. and no, that is not radical to say. just look at their track record. they have had 26 cop, they have had decades of blah, blah, blah. and where has that led us? over where has that led us? nowhere. over 5096 of all our — where has that led us? nowhere. over 50%. of all our coz — where has that led us? nowhere. over 5096 of all our c02 emissions - where has that led us? nowhere. over 5096 of all our c02 emissions have - 50% of all our co2 emissions have occurred since 1990, and about a third since 2005. all this while the media is reporting on what people in power say that they are going to do, rather than what they actually do. time and time again, the media fails to hold the people in power responsible for their and inaction. cheering as they continue to expand fossilfuel cheering as they continue to expand fossil fuel infrastructure, cheering as they continue to expand fossilfuel infrastructure, opening up fossilfuel infrastructure, opening up new coal mines, coal power plants, granting new oil licenses and still refusing to do even the bare minimum, like delivering on the long promised climate finance for a loss and damage to the most vulnerable and least responsible countries. this is shameful. some people say that we are being too radical. but the truth is that they are the ones who are radical. fighting to save our life supporting systems isn't radical at all. believing that our civilisation as we know it can survive a 2.7 degrees or three degrees hotter world, on the other hand, is not only extremely radical, it is pure madness. cheering. out here, we speak the truth. the people in power are obviously scared of the truth. yet, no matter how hard they try, they cannot escape from it. they cannot ignore the scientific consensus, and above all, they cannot ignore us, the people. including their own children. they cannot ignore our screams as we reclaim our power. we are tired of their blah, blah, blah. our leaders are not leading. this is what leadership looks like. thank you for showing up, and see you tomorrow again at the march. cheering. well, there we have it. greta thunberg, the swedish climate activist, addressing the campaigners who took part in that march and gathered in the center of glasgow. she dismissed the cop summit as a failure and said that it was no longer a climate summit but a global north green wash festival. she reiterated points that the most affected people in the most affected areas, and her view, affected people in the most affected areas, and herview, remain unheard. and rather than targets, we need immediate, drastic emissions cuts. she licked the crisis regarding the climate to other historical crises, and said it is na veto climate to other historical crises, and said it is na ve to think it is possible to address climate change without addressing the other roots of this crisis. it is very good to have you with us. i'm not sure how much of greta thunberg's speech you hurt there, but what do you make of those points that i have picked

address allegations of racism. a report found former player azeem rafiq had been the victim of racial harrassment and bullying — but the club said they would take no disciplinary action. the out—going chair roger hutton has been spealing exclusively to our sports editor dan roan — here's what he had to say when asked if there was evidence of institutional racism at yorkshire county cricket club: i've not personally met anyone that i would consider racist at yorkshire county cricket club, but i have seen the report and i have seen the allegations being upheld of acts that have been racist from people who are no longer at the club. more broadly than that, i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past, a culture that is, finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if we could move forward. in the t20 world cup scotland lost by eight wickets to india in group 2. they were already out of the tournament, but that didn't stop them relishing this occasion. george munsey showed some flair, but he could only manage 24 runs they set india the target of 86. they quickly reached that. kl rahul scoring 50 injust 18 balls, that's the fastest of the tournament so far, but he was caught on the next ball he faced. suryakumar yadav completed the victory in style as india wrapped the match up with six overs to spare. in the earlier match new zealand recovered from a sticky start against namibia to post 163 for 4 and remain in the hunt for a semi—final place. namibia were always struggling and in the end could only muster 111 for 7. they go out of the competition. british number one cameron norrie can no longer qualify for the end of season atp tour finals. that's after polands hubert hurkacz went through to the semi finals of the paris masters, beating james duckworth, to secure the eighth and final qualifying sport. norrie says he'll still travel to turin for the event as one of two alternates. new tottenham head coach antonio conte will take charge of the side for the first time in the premier league on sunday at everton. he guided spurs to a 3—2 win against vitesse arnhem in the europa conference league last night and wants to make sure the club establishes an identity and way of playing. this is a big challenge, big big challenge, and you must have vision. i think this club had a great vision outside of the pitch. now i think we have to start to have a vision also on the pitch on the football topic and i think this is important if we want to win. some rugby news now, and the rfu have confirmed that owen farrell will miss the captains run today ahead of tomorrows match with tonga after testing positive for covid. he'll remain in isolation ahead of another lateral flow and pcr test later today so it is not yet clear whether he will have to miss the game. meanwhile, saracen's number 8 poppy cleall has been named as england women's captain for the first time when they face new zealand this sunday. regular skipper sarah hunter is on the bench as head coach simon middleton makes five changes to the side that beat the world champions last week. scotland have named a strong side to face australia in sunday with prop pierre schoemann winning his second cap. last weekend's win over tonga fell outside the international window — meaning many players were unavailable so gregor townsend has recalled captain stuart hogg at full back with the likes of ali price and finn russell returning, too. british and irish lions duhan van der merwe and hamish watson also start that's all the sport for now. a teenager has been convicted of the killing of keon lincoln — a 15—year—old schoolboy who was stabbed and shot outside his home in birmingham earlier this year. yesterday, four teenagers who took part in the attack — including the gunman, who s just 14 — were found guilty of murder. today, kieron donaldson who supplied the weapons but wasn t there when keon died, was convicted of manslaughter. phil mackie reports # miss you so much. this was keon lincoln, a typical teenager messing around with his family and friends. injanuary, after a day spent in remote lessons because of lockdown, a group of teenagers murdered him outside his house. it appeared carefully planned. they drove to his home in this stolen white ford. he was standing in the street. this was the moment it stopped and the attack began. it's taken from cctv footage which showed keon being chased, stabbed and then shot dead. this shrine is here to mark a spot near to where keon was stabbed and fatally shot. the whole attack lasted less than 40 seconds, and among the first people who were outside to see what had happened were his mother and his twin sister. i heard the gunshots and my first instinct was, where's my son? those are the first words i said. "where's my son?" i found out that there was somebody up the road, and, yeah, it was my boy. a week after he died, the community gathered to remember him and appealfor calm. situation that we are in, with the postcode war, needs to stop. and we have to now learn to respect each other and love each other in the way that we ought to love each other. and we can only do that by putting away the knife and the gun. the stolen car was abandoned a couple of miles away. in it, they found a knife and a mask with dna. there was more cctv footage and phone records, which led to the arrest and now conviction of four teenagers for murder. michael ugochukwu and tahjgeem breakenridge, both 18. the other two killers can't be named because of their ages — they're 14 and 16. another 18—year—old. kieron donaldson, was convicted of manslaughter. the weapons that are being used, they're terrifying weapons — - to think that the knives, i they're more like swords. the weapons that young people are getting hold of, _ they should never be getting hold of weapons such as those. - it's diabolical. it's unnecessary. it never needed to happen. so we, you know, are trying to come to terms with thati and so we just want closure. we still don't know why keon lincoln was killed but he has become another teenage casualty in a city that's lost too many young lives in recent years. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. bringing you an update on the yorkshire county cricket club racism row and you will remember that the former england captain michael vaughan had revealed that he was named in the report but that he totally denies any allegation of racism. well, the bbc hasjust released a statement and says it takes any allegations of racism extremely seriously. since the allegation against michael vaughan predates his time working for the bbc. it says we were not part of the investigation conducted by yorkshire county cricket club and have had no access to the subsequent report. the statement goes on to say however the bbc was made aware of a single allegation which michael strongly denies and we have been monitoring the situation closely. it then goes on to say we have made the edit of the indecision that michael won't appearas the indecision that michael won't appear as a presenter on radio five live took us on von show on monday. now, the show focuses on discussion around current cricketing matters and it says given his personal involvement the bbc needs to ensure it maintains the impartiality of the programme. it concludes we remain in discussion with michael vaughan and his team. so that statement from the bbc in the last few minutes. in other news now... the pharmaceutical manufacturer pfizer, has said that a clinical trial of a new product to treat covid—19, shows that the drug is highly effective. pfizer sharesjumped more than 7% on the news. the pill is called paxlovid, and it is reported to have achieved an 89 % reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death — that's among adult patients with coronavirus who are at high risk of progressing to severe illness. our health correspondent jim reed explained. we are starting to see the same thing this year but this time it's not vaccines, it is treatments. so these are aimed at people who have already caught covid who might be very vulnerable, might be elderly, might have underlying health conditions so we had the uk drugs regulator approving the first pill to treat covid in that way and today clinical trial results for a different pill this time developed by the us drug company pfizer, and, again, they're very, very strong, so this one, if you give this pill in the trial within three to five days of catching covid, then it cuts the risk of hospitalisation in that vulnerable group by 89%, which is very positive. there were no deaths at all from covid in the group that took the pill. in the group that took the dummy pill, the placebo in this trial, there were ten deaths. so you can see these are the kind products, the kind of treatments that are likely to be used going forward. they won't be for everyone, they will be for that very much smaller group of vulnerable, elderly people that might and if it from treatment like this. the uk has already purchased 250,000 causes of this pfizer drug. no details yet on when it will become available. you'd imagine that they will push for authorisation from the drug regulatory bodies very soon. the brexit minister, david frost, has said only 'limited progress' has been made in talks between the uk and the eu in brussels, as both sides try and resolve a dispute over northern ireland. britain wants to change the northern ireland protocol, which is designed to regulate trade and prevent the need for a hard border in ireland. but significant differences remain between the two sides, leading to speculation london may suspend the deal. the european commission vice president, maros sefcovic warned there would be 'serious consequences' if the uk triggers article 16. the headlines on bbc news... three board members including the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club have resigned over the club's handling of racism, experienced by one of its former players azeem rafiq. in the last few moments, greta thunberg addressed thousands of young activists who have been marching through the streets of glasgow. she branded the cop26 summit as a failure and accused world leaders of making empty promises. a fifth teenager is guilty of killing 15—year—old keon lincoln who was shot and stabbed outside his home in birmingham well, in birmingham, one school is using the day to get kids more involved with the environment of their local community, and what they can do to reduce air pollution on theirjourney to school. our correspondent pria rai has spent the day at the saltley academy in birmingham. today is less about what the world leaders have to say at cop26, and it's more about what young people want to see from their leaders in order to protect the world they are going to grow up in, inevitably. now, we are at saltley academy today. we've been here all day. and they've got a whole plan of workshops and activities to get the kids are here more interested and involved and learn more about their local environment. now, it is in a part of birmingham called alum rock, which is very congested, it's very busy, it's one of the most populated parts of the city, which is often dubbed a car city. and in all honesty it can be quite hard to cycle round, as people here have been saying to me today. so one thing that they want to do here at saltley academy is to teach kids how they can cycle to school safely. as a way of, of course, trying to reduce the air pollution around the school. now, peter white is with me, he is the head teacher. as i say, i know you are quite keen to get more kids buckling. yeah, absolutely. it's really important for us here, where we live — the school is so congested at the start of the day and at the end of the day. we need to really try and work on ways of getting some of those cars off the road. now, my students live very close to the school. most of them, actually, live within .8 of a kilometre, and yet still lots of my families will choose to drive the children to and from school. so it's really important here that we are just making sure that our children have the skills, have the option to cycle to school safely. that is incredibly close to live to school. why is it that you think there is some resistance to not driving? i think the roads are very busy, they are very congested. i think that if you haven't grown up confident with a bike then you need to have those skills, which ultimately want to teach. but ultimately i need to show my parents that the school is a safe place for children to cycle to, and i know it is a little bit chicken and egg, we need less cars on the road and more bikes, but ultimately i'm just trying to do my part here to make sure the children have the skills and the options to cycle to school if they want to. so, basically, the kids have spent the day learning to cycle safely to school. as you can see, they have been learning in the playground but the hope is, one day, they can take to the roads and do it. i've got two students with me. have you found it safe? do you think you will be able to cycle to school one day soon? soon, maybe, yeah. when saltley prepare us, as they're doing now, when they prepares to ride a bike safely and obviously encouraging me. i think that is a very good thing that they did, learning bike—ability. do you think you would feel safe cycling to school? not right now, because of how busy the roads are. maybe when more people begin to ride bikes then i will feel more comfortable. and do you think it's something that can help improve your environment around school and reduce the levels of airpollution? is that something that you care about? yes, certainly. as you said, cop26 is happening and it's more about young people and the environment, so i think it's our world and what we do with it. so i think riding bikes instead of doing carbon emissions from cars and stuff like that would be more safe for the environment. how worried are you, generally, about your future, growing up in the environment around you? i'm extremely worried. because so far not that much has been done. but hopefully more schools will do similar things to our school to try and help the situation. and there is, as i said — loads has been going on here at saltley all day. not only teaching kids to cycle. so maybe, just maybe, it is something so maybe, just maybe, it's something that will go from the playground and have an impact on the school ride in the not so nearfuture. the uk s largest membership body of therapists has raised concerns that unqualified practitioners, who offer mental health treatments online, are potentially exploiting vulnerable people seeking help. the british association for counselling and psychotherapy is calling for more awareness of the correct way to seek help from registered professionals. reporterjordan dunbar has been to meet those affected itjust, kind of, hit me out of the blue. i was struggling quite bad, so i wanted help quite urgently. jake suffered badly with anxiety in his last year of university. he started to look for support and treatment online. he soon came across attracting advertising on social media, promising to cure anxiety and backed with lots of patient recommendations. when a person has got quite a large following and has had ocd and has got over it and is now treating, you know, you think that that's... that that's a great sign because, firstly, they know how to get you better, and, secondly, they've been through it. so you think you've struck gold. and you haven't. jake signed up for phone sessions, but the treatment wasn't what he expected, and things started to go wrong. so, you could buy individual sessions and they would be, you know, much more expensive. £200 and, you know, getting to nearly £300. the sessions would consistently be cut short. the lowest for me was 20 minutes of a 50—minute session, which is less than half thsn you should get. so you got your money back, right? no compensation, no mention of, "ok, that session was cut short, "but we'll make it up or you can have another one." the government advises people to seek treatment from practitioners who are part of professional bodies on the professional standards authorities register, because there will be things like a complaints system and a code of ethics. currently, it's completely legal in the uk for anyone to call themselves a therapist, psychotherapist, or a counsellor. you don't need any training or any qualifications. the training that i went through was really rigorous. it was really demanding. i feel angry for members of the public who are potentially being exploited by these people — and harmed. what harm is being done. laura tried to find mental health support online, too. she was looking for help with her ocd symptoms when she was approached on social media by a company offering to cure her. part of her treatment required her to film herself. we were asked to video ourselves in distress, i to show the world, basically. and it was... we were told that it - would be helping people, so, you know, you felt guilty. and if it wasn't quite right, l we were told to do it again. and so, you're in distress, - then trying to act, and you know... and it was just so unethical. as the popularity and amount of mental health treatment online increases, there are growing calls to look at tightening up the regulations in the industry, to make sure that treatment is helping patients and not harming them. jordan dunbar, bbc news. and you can watch the programme "i can cure you: online mental health cures" here on the bbc news channel on saturday the 6th november at 8.30pm. it'll be repeated on sunday 7th november at 2.30pm. students at 37 universities across the uk face disruption after a vote for industrial action by academic and administrative staff in a dispute over pensions. members of the university and college union said universities needed to urgently revoke the pension cuts and return to the negotiating table to avoid strike action. universities uk says changes are required to avoid escalating contribution costs. its been one of the most anticipated comebacks in pop. after 40 years, abba are finally back with a new studio album. in their only british tv interview, benny andersson and bjorn ulvaeus from the group chatted to the bbc�*s entertainment correspondent colin paterson in stockholm about how the record eventually got made. benny and bjorn in abba's home town. the good thing about living in stockholm is that people stockholm is built on 14 islands, including helgeandsholmen, where abba recorded voyage, their first album in 40 years. so this is where a lot of the album was made then. this has really been abba hq. in that house. that's the studio since ten years back. everything is done in there. the idea of making a whole album was not part of the original plan. abba had only gone back into the studio to record a couple of new tracks for next year's live show, which will feature digital recreations of the band in concerts, looking like they did in 1979. we had two songs. we enjoyed those. we thought they were really good. so we said, "maybe we should do a couple more." and we did. and then we said, "maybe we should do a few more. so we have an album. bjorn, you're sounding very laid back. you got any more nerves? i mean, this is a big deal, 40 years between albums! yes. it's emotionally very difficult to grasp, actually, that we did what we did. oh, it's dawning on me now that it's actually happening, you know. we don't need to prove anything here. i don't think we're taking a risk because if people think that we were better 40 years ago, fine. and the ladies were so happy. yeah. as were we, of course. but the ladies, ooh, they can still do it. yeah. and they're also happy that they don't have to do this. why don't they? where are they? because we told them, you know, we talked about it. so if we do this, "what's going to happen?" and they both said, "we don't want to do this." and we said, "we can take care of it." we're not as pretty as they are, but we do the work. # you're not the man you should have been. the album revisits old themes, including the end of a marriage. # i let you down somehow.# abba probably have the most famous divorces in pop, outside of fleetwood mac. does it get discussed still? were there big apologies to make this happen? i never talked about my divorce with anyone. apart from frieda at the time. no. # the winner takes it all. # the loser standing small...# people have read a lot of it into various lyrics. and, of course, there is some of that in the lyrics, but most is fiction. but the emotions are there. yeah, yeah. but not the exact situation. no, exactly. and as for the live show featuring the so—called abbatars, it will have its premiere next may in a purpose—built venue in london. the use of motion capture meant that abbaa spent five weeks performing the songs in a tv studio and sacrifices had to be made. i love the story. you had to shave the beards for the abbatar show. yeah. just how traumatic was that for you two? again, just a decision. if it has to be done, you know, it has to be done. and i tried. is there no other way we can do this? do i really, really have to? oh, i hated it. oh, i looked weird, and i... 0h, i'll never shave it off again — that's for sure. but after waiting 40 years for abba to get back together, the reunion could be very short. i've said, "that's it." you know, i don't want to do another abba album. but i mean, i'm not alone in this. there are four of us. yeah. if they twist my arm, i might change my mind, but i think it's... 0h! good to know, good to know. where do you stand on it? i never say never. but i agree with benny. i don't think... i think that was, you know, our goodbye. i think you can twist his arm, bjorn? the ladies might be able to do that. yeah. it'll take them to do it, actually. yeah, i think so. before we go, let's take you to italy where one nativity scene incorporates the country's covid restrictions. craftsmen have given the three kings a vaccine pass to carry when they visit babyjesus as well as the gold, frankincense and myrrh. italy has some of the strictest covid rules in europe, with everyone entering any public or private workplace, or a bar or a restaurant, required to show a pass. now it's time for a look at the weather. lots of cloud around today across mainly the westerns part of the uk. we have had some sunshine across the eastern areas and it has been largely dry and will continue to be that way as we go through that evening and overnight and there will be rain gathering heavy overnight in north and north—west scotland. see the wind arrows? it is turning windy here as well in temperatures are holding up tonight so where there was a frost last night to minus five degrees and oxfordshire temperatures will be well above freezing going into tomorrow morning. but with a loss of cloud around some patchy rain in the west but more substantial rain you can sing with and for scotland, northern ireland, northern england, wales, few spots of the midlands, east anglia and southern england on through the day but no to scotland and northern ireland brightening up with a few showers, windy and across all parts with wind gusts late in the afternoon and overnight into sunday northern scotland could be seeing some gust six t— 70 mph. severe gales and big wave sitting across the coast as well and that could cause some disruption. temperatures have a little bit higher. it stays mild on sunday and away from the windy blustery showers northern scotland on sunday at many places will stay dry. this is bbc news, i'mjane hill. the headlines at five. three board members including the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club have resigned over the club's handling of racism experienced by former player azeem rafiq. i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past. a culture that finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if it can move forward. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists
