at six. the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club has resigned over its response to the racism experienced by the former player azeem rafiq. roger hutton issued a stinging attack on executive board members who he said had shown a "constant unwillingness" to accept there was a problem, after an investigation found rafiq was the victim of "racial harassment and bullying". tonight the bbc has announced that former england captain michael vaughan — who has strongly denied making a racist comment to a group of asian players — won't be presenting his cricket programme on radio 5 live next week. here's our sports editor dan roan. the racism that michael vaughan has plunged the country into an unprecedented crisis. chairman stepped down just hours after announcing his departure roger

given his personal involvement we need to make sure we maintain the impartiality of the programme. this all comes at a time when cricket is desperate to try to engage with the south asian community

reporting, who's at the ground, says yorkshire county cricket club is in absolute turmoil. the implosion at york shire is like nothing i can recall. as the space ofjust nothing i can recall. as the space of just a few days' nothing i can recall. as the space ofjust a few days' time this club has lost pretty much all of its sponsors, its right to host international matches, its chairman, half of the board has allegations against two of the biggest names you play here in recent years. tonight there is another revelation around there is another revelation around the head coach, he is being investigated by both yorkshire in the ecb over an alleged anti—semitic tweet in 2010. and be fair i think is that this case perhaps has exposed an ugly side to the game and certainly when you look at professional football, this certainly when you look at professionalfootball, this port seems to suffer from much less diversity and underrepresentation of non—white players. a fair perhaps as a result of this has exposed the sport in some way out of kilter with trends in wider society. yorkshire issued a statement pledging they would do whatever it took to regain trust. but the new leaders who come into this club will surely phase one of the greatest challenges the sport has seen in recent years. well, we can speak now to jamie raynor, who's the presenter of the cricket show on bbc radio leeds. thanks so much for staying on to talk to us. at the end of what i'm sure it is been an awful long and exciting day. the obvious question is, we got all night but where did it go wrong?— is, we got all

heard the report there this is farfrom over. this is a story that has really gripped the county, the region, the nation if not the globalised world of cricket. and to see a club fall to its knees so quickly, so drastically in the way that has done, yes, it's been rather interesting to follow to say the least. in rather interesting to follow to say the least. ,., rather interesting to follow to

club after its own internal investigation into the allegations made by azeem rafiq whereby seven of the 43 were upheld that the county cricket club that felt no disciplinary action needed to be taken by any of its executive board members existed in a timeframe. that certainly angered the wider cricket community within york shire, certainly across the nation. i think that is where this is really fallen down. we are then obviously learned that the full report was leaked and therefore reported. and we learned about the racial slur that was used consistently and considered friendly banter. i think that's where it resonates with many communities across this nation and why it is because such an uproar in the last week. ., ~' ,, because such an uproar in the last week. ., ~ ,, , ., ., ,

that will have experienced this problem and not the only experience of problem in cricketing. and yet some seems to have had a uniquely difficult problem in the county. now we seen the sponsors pull—out. what is it about yorkshire county cricket club that you think makes this particularly poisonous bear, that it's been so difficult to deal with to them even address? i think it stems from not only a culture of racism within the four walls of headingley but maybe goes to a wider aspect of culture that exists within cricket, domestic cricket for the market, and any further in terms of other clubs but focusing on yorkshire in isolation, this is clearly something they struggle to grapple with over the years. the hearing on november the 16th when the three board members called to give evidence roger hutton, chair, and chief executive will give evidence to that select committee. we shall learn more about how they have grappled with this culture and seemingly not responded in the way that many would've hoped. 0f in the way that many would've hoped. of course azeem rafiq will also give evidence and is been invited to do so on the day. i think will learn a lot more about what has happened during that timeframe that azeem rafiq played over two spells for the county over the last decade. and indeed what this internal report found. of course when we saw officially from the yorkshire statement was a redacted version due to the legal ramifications that may have unfolded as a result of breezy but not releasing the full report. but with parliamentary privilege at that select committee on sure will learn a lot more about why the county seemingly struggled to grapple with this culture. lovely to seak grapple with this culture. lovely to s - eak with grapple with this

being with us. what's your take on this? that must be something about this that feels horribly like we've been here before in different circumstances. maybe in different sports, may in different aspects of public life. but there is a kind of depressing familiarity about some of these arguments. familiarity about some of these arguments-— familiarity about some of these aruuments. , , ., �* ,

the last time that were having i arguments. yes, sadly it won't be | the last time that were having this conversation. it's incredibly depressing. i think we need to be very clear about what were talking about here. what were talking about is a story of institutional racism and personal suffering that has been allowed to foster for many, many years. i say that because what i hearin years. i say that because what i hear in the moment is framing around banter. the reason why companies are pulling out, the reason why people are upset wasn't just pulling out, the reason why people are upset wasn'tjust because of the banter, we are talking about personal suffering and institutional racism that has gone on for many years. what's extremely worrying is that our by our we are getting more details about how serious the situation is and how long it's going on for. i'm afraid that we might emerge to hear more stories in detail that shows this case to be more disgraceful we know to be today. as you know, the chairman of your chart cricket club has resigned in protest. i'm surprised that the rest of the rest of the executives didn't reside with them. i have some sympathy for roger because he inherited the situation at year end. you can hear it in a statement. this problem is bigger than any individual can manage. he has tried to involve regulated two regulators, other people to help him with this problem. as such is the case of banter, it's far more serious than theirs. ~ ., ~ banter, it's far more serious than theirs. ~ . ~ ., ., ., ., theirs. we talked in an hour ago, we

word, it is a word that is loaded and comes with so many other associations that even if the person expressing it and using it things in their own mind it's banter, that's not how it's received. and from her view that's the reason it should be used. i say that you try to put into context for people watching who might still be struggling to understand why this has become so big in issue given to such an extent that major companies are prepared to pull out all of what until now has been for them a brand they wanted to been for them a brand they wanted to be associated with.— be associated

explain it well, sean. it's not banter and the more we can repeat the statement that it's banter the more we try and dismiss the issue of racism. what were talking about is insular or banter we are talking about racialized abuse. systemically that went on for years. that is why i think the companies are distancing themselves. because if it was only banter and not racialized abuse i think most people can handle banter but many of us cannot handle racialized abuse that went on for years and years and years. let me ask ou, years and years and years. let me ask you. you _ years and years and years. let me ask you, you mentioned _ years and years and years. let me ask you, you mentioned regulator| years and years and years. let me i ask you, you mentioned regulator and roger hutton his attempt to get the english wheels cricket board involved. their response — we don't interfere in the affairs of individual clubs. is that a position you think for a regulatory body to adopt in the 21st century? dirt reason the — adopt in the 21st century? d “it reason the regulatory bodies exists is to good practice or the sports of whole improving. this was seen as quite a high—profile case was that i think for a regulator to step aside from his responsibility is telling. mind you they are actually commenting on the situation at the moment i think what azeem rafiq would've preferred is probably some support. rogerwould've would've preferred is probably some support. roger would've preferred some support earlier as a victim experiencing racism it's very well, now and to offer support but where was that support when it was needed? here's the challenge, went regulators and institutions don't step in in a timely way, what starts as an individual act of racism then becomes an institutional challenge. what happens is we haven't rooted out where it was taken place and that if testers and fosters in different parts of an institution become embroiled in silencing what is going on. that's where the challenge lies. if we were to basically put her hands up in the air and say that was disgraceful, we should have done something a lot earlier than actually the situation gets better and we can deal with it. it's when institutions don't do something about it in a timely way and there isn't the right punishment or consequences for racialized abuse, that's when i think we've got abuse, that's when i think we've got a systemic problem. this is why i think companies are distancing themselves. as i said, it wasn't just some slur, it was racialized abuse. and then there was a whole incident around the findings being made clear and still there was no disciplinary action. anna regulator did not respond in a chair person and had to resign in protest because it was too much for him alone. well if it was too much for the chairperson, imagine how azeem rafiq felt all those years. bear in mind that azeem rafiq was actually in under 21 england of captain the cricket team. what signal does that give to the rest of the world? we are supposed to be a cricketing nation and a leader for it. thank you very much for giving me this time this evening. the swedish climate activist greta thunberg has accused world leaders of deliberately postponing much needed drastic action against global warming and said they were fighting instead to keep the status quo. addressing thousands of young people at a rally in glasgow, she called the cop26 climate summit little more that a celebration of �*business as usual�*. here's our scotland editor sarah smith. a rare opportunity for protesters to loudly deliver a message, almost within earshot of the global decision makers gathered in glasgow. greta thunberg, who inspired me fridays for future movement, says those leaders have so far failed to deliver. young kids, inspired by greta, have drawn their own pictures of her. i know that she put out a sign. and then everybody else started following her, just like this. how do you talk to children this age about climate change without scaring them too much? i don't have to. they themselves are aware. they know about plastic, about pollution, about air pollution. as the government announced measures to put climate at the heart of education, kids — mostly with their parents' permission — were skipping school to take part in the youth protest. your sign says now means now, not later. why did you write that? i wrote that because they're saying we need to do this now, we need to get this now, we're going to sort this now, but they are not sorting it. they're just going to make promises they can't keep. do you think that's what the world leaders at cop are doing? making promises that you don't think they're going to keep? yes, it has happened a lot of time before, people say they are going to do things and they don't make enough change to actually have an impact. we are hoping that the folk in cop, i drinking their tea, are listening, i and they're listening to what we say land try and try to make a change. . do you not think they're trying to achieve the same thing as you, to lower carbon emissions and save the planet? yeah... i don't know. i think they are trying, . but we're trying harder. so far at this cop, there have been commitments to reverse deforestation, cut methane emissions and promise more money than ever before to tackle climate change. greta thunberg, who's at the front, doesn't seem very impressed with the progress of cop so far. what do you think? i think it's fair enough. you know, it's cop26. i'm 26 years old, it's been 26 years and no progress has been made and our carbon emission keeps increasing. we need action. on stage, thunberg dismissed cop26 as a pr exercise. this is no longer a climate conference, this is now a global greenwash festival. a two—week long celebration of business as usual and blah, blah, blah. they cannot ignore the scientific consensus. and, above all, they cannot ignore us, the people — including their own children. tomorrow, even larger crowds are expected, hoping to keep up the pressure before the final week of climate negotiations. sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. no more pollution, i we need a revolution! some locations have to grapple with the consequences of our changing climate every day. people living in a village on an island in northern alaska face being forced out of their homes because of rising sea levels. alaska is home to rapidly retreating glaciers where the rate of melting is among the fastest on the planet, as our climate editorjustin rowlatt let's go live to justice in anchorage. hello justin. i've got hellojustin. i've got to say of bald eaglejust hellojustin. i've got to say of bald eagle just flew past! i hellojustin. i've got to say of bald eaglejust flew past! i know hellojustin. i've got to say of bald eagle just flew past! i know is a relevant issue of climate change. we here in alaska because this place in a way is a canary in the mind and the climate issue. because temperatures are so close to freezing, if you raise them only a little bit you get really big changes. so ice that used to remain frozen and snow that used to thaw and stay until the spring or summer is now melting earlier. that is driving profound changes here in alaska as i've been discovering. 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 ourfood 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. the climate changing so fast and the weatherjulie mack waters warming. i would say within the next,

now a tough hike up and over a high pass. this is all that remains of the once mighty glacier. and mountain glaciers arejust mighty glacier. and mountain glaciers are just melting here mighty glacier.

with the murder, and will appear in court next month. the trial is underway in the us state of georgia, of three white men accused of chasing and killing a black man because they thought he looked like a crime suspect. ahmaud arbery had been jogging close to his home. his killers were only arrested after a national outcry. aleem maqbool reports from brunswick. as the child open the video of his

through this. just a short distance from his home when the men decided tojump into their trucks and give chase. their own statement showed one of the men who showed involved in the killing used a racial slur as he lay dying. sadly murals of an unarmed black man who would been shot and killed are now darted in towns and cities right across this country. but in arbery case he didn't die in the hands of the police but in the hands of people who thought they could to act as an extension of police and do what they like. that appears to be precisely how the police treated him. but cam footage

experts saying we may have reached another peak. the latest figures suggest1 in 55 people in the uk tested positive for covid last week that's more than 1.2 million people. it comes as the drug company pfizer said its developed a new covid pill to be taken at the first sign of symptoms — that is eighty— nine per cent effective at preventing hospital treatment or death. here's our health editor hugh pym. are we going to go in the left or the right arm, sir? as people come forward for boosterjabs, here in marlow in buckinghamshire, and here at st helens rugby league ground, the hope is that the spread of the virus can be slowed down. there are very tentative views among expert modellers that there may be a downward trend for infections. it's very possible that cases may continue to go down over the next few weeks, but i'm also very aware that we saw this in september and then we did see a climb in cases again. so i'm probably not confident enough yet to say that this is definitively what we're going to see but if we continue to see this over the next couple of weeks, then i'll be increasingly confident that this wave is turning over. it's hard to read the data. the daily reported case numbers which cover people who have come forward for testing have been falling week on week. but an infection survey by the office for national statistics is based on household testing and includes those who don't have symptoms. it paints a broader picture. the latest 0ns survey suggests last week nearly 1.27 million people in the uk had the virus, about the same as the previous week. and the trend does appear to be flattening after increases recently. in england, one in 50 people had the virus. in wales, it was one in 40 and in scotland, one in 80. northern ireland, with one in 65, was the only one to show an increase. but school half term in some parts of the uk last week may have complicated the situation. half term can have had a positive impact in that it may have paused some of those classroom transmissions that we were seeing happening very frequently through september and october. of course, what we don't know yet is if that will be a long lasting effect or that now the kids are back at school, we'll start to see those infections pick up again. while vaccinations continue, there's more optimism about covid treatments. a pill developed by pfizer greatly reduced the risk of getting seriously ill among the most vulnerable in trials. hugh pym, bbc news. the government's latest coronavirus figures for the uk, show there were nearly 34,029 new infections recorded, in the latest 24—hour period. that's 9,400 fewer cases than last friday. it means an average of 37,975 cases were reported per day, in the last week. just over 9 thousand people were in hospital with covid yesterday. there were 193 deaths, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test, which takes the average number of deaths over the past seven days to 171. the total number of people who've died with covid, now stands at at 141,588. 0n vaccinations, 87.2% percent of people aged 12 and over, have now received a first dose. and 79.6% percent have been double jabbed. and more than 9.3 million people have received their boosterjab, this includes third doses for those, with certain health conditions. around a million more children in england should be eligible for free school meals and would benefit from a hot meal a day — that's according to a leading food charity. the food foundation says there s an urgent need to expand the criteria of who qualifies by raising the earnings threshold to 20 thousand pounds a year before benefits. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. you feel like you're a failure. you're not a failure. because i run a garden company. my business has lost nearly 150 customers through covid. i've lost about £18,000 this year. steve worries about putting food on the table for his three children. he also worries about feeding dozens of families across stalybridge. he set up this foodbank to help others. these are people who've worked and they've been on furlough, gas going up, food going up, everything's going up and the wages aren't going up. there's more working families come here than there is people not working. and that's what i thought i'd never see. i need to get more food... i've not got the food to sustain this. now, we've got two tins of potatoes. i need 80 tins of potatoes this week, so, yeah, i do worry. have you had a good day? i literally live week by week, you know? i might have a pound left in my purse at the end of the week. you need it on, it's cold, sweetheart. colette is a mum of two and works full—time. she doesn't qualify for free school meals because she earns above the eligibility threshold of £7,400 a year. going to a food bank, it's not nice, it's scary. food is going up. it's all right when it's just like 20, 30p at that time, but when you work it out over the week or the month, it turns into pounds. i go to the corner shop, my youngest, he has like a little pot with his coins in and he'll say, "wait, mummy, i'mjust getting some money." and he'll bring it down, "i'll get this, mummy, because you haven't got much money and you work hard, i'll get it out of my money." and it's so upsetting. another day and steve has more deliveries. it's going to bolton vale, i've got a foodbank in there with debbie, the head teacher. he's also set up food banks in four primaries, which mainly help the families who don't get free school meals but are running low on food. there's lots of families who don't have much so we really want to help them. this head teacher wants the eligibility threshold expanded to include more children and says schools are struggling to provide a safety net to help working families. on an evening, usually around eight o'clock, myself and several other local head teachers go to collect the food for the children. teachers are spending their own money on food, they're topping up the food banks. the challenges are significant. the government says it's expanded access to free school meals more than any other government in recent decades. and there are currently over 1.7 million pupils in england that receive a nutritious free school meal through the benefits—related criteria. but food charities are warning it doesn't go far enough to reach working families struggling to put food on the table. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in stalybridge. 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 about 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. �*students

there is something familiar about the people behind me and think he had seen it before it is because this damp again. abba have released theirfirst album almost 40 years after they split up. it's called voyage. and next year there'll be a concert in london — though they won't appear in person — instead there'll be digital versions of the stars on stage. the real singers have been speaking to our entertainment correspondent colin paterson at the studio where they recorded their comeback, 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." # promise me you can...# 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." this is a big deal, 40 years between albums. yes. it's emotionally very difficult to grasp, a chilly, that we did what we did. 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. # 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. one reason agnetha and frida were happy to rejoin abba was an agreement that they didn't have to do any of the interviews. but even still, this reunion is set to be very short lived. i've said that's it. i don't want to do another abba album. but, i'm not alone in this — there are four of us. the ladies might be able to do that. yeah. it'll take them to do it, a chilly. yeah, i think so!
