the prime minister has made a plea for people to have their covid vaccination boosterjabs as he warned of a wave of infections sweeping in from across europe. in the uk, cases are falling across all four nations. here's our health editor hugh pym. people in the netherlands enjoying a final evening in bars and restaurants before a partial 3—week lockdown starting tomorrow — the government's response to rising covid infections set out by the prime minister tonight. translation: this is - a hard blow of a few weeks because the virus is everywhere throughout the country, in all sectors and in all ages. hospitality venues will have to close at 8pm, there will be early closing for supermarkets, fans will be barred from major sporting events and households will only be allowed four visitors. i mean, i understand — it sucks, obviously, but i understand the reasoning behind it. i think we have to do it for the good of everyone else. i think mental health should be considered _ more than physical- health at this moment, because everyone is suffering as much mentally- as they are physically. intensive care units in austria are under strain. the government is set to announce restrictions on those who haven't beenjabbed — the country's vaccination rate is below the eu average. uk covid cases relative to the population have fallen back, but the netherlands, austria and some other european countries have seen steep increases. the prime minister sounded a cautionary note about the implications of case increases across europe. i'm seeing a — the storm clouds gathering over parts of the european continent and i've got to be absolutely frank with people — i can — and — we've been here before and we remember what happens when the wave starts — starts rolling in. and here, ministers are pushing even harder the message that people should get boosterjabs as soon as they're eligible. the hope is that will help slow the spread of covid. the latest ons survey suggests that last week in the uk, nearly 1.1 million people had the virus. that was down on the previous week. in england, it was one in 60 people and in wales, one in a5. in both, case rates were falling. but in northern ireland, with one in 75, and scotland, one in 85, the trend was less clear. school half—term could have been a factor, and the prime minister said it wasn't clear the drift downwards would continue. hugh pym, bbc news. now on bbc news, we have a special edition of witness history to mark cop26. hello, and welcome to this special edition of witness history with me, claire marshall. we are in the gardens of london was not environmental college. this time we are getting first—hand accounts of some important moments in an environmental history. coming up, the man who fed the world as crop pioneer norman borland was called. had hussein ordered the destruction of iraq by the great marshes and we hear about the fight to over neighbourhood built on 20,000 tons of toxic waste. but we start here in the uk, which is one of the first countries in europe to ban lead from petrol in cars. the move followed a successful campaign showing the lead was poisoning children and leaving them permanently brain—damaged. witness history spoke to doctor robin russelljones from the campaign for leadfree air. leadfree petrol now! leadfree petrol now! it is brain damaging my child. excuse — it is brain damaging my child. excuse me, and i give you one of these — excuse me, and i give you one of these to— excuse me, and i give you one of these to read, _ excuse me, and i give you one of these to read, please? -

parents have recentlyjoined the anti— lead campaign, it seems common sense that 10,000 tons of lead must find its way tons of lead must find its way to people one way or another. fix, to people one way or another. sort of effects that occur in children who have this level of exposure manifest themselves as behavioural disorders. these children tend to be very impulsive, they have difficulty concentrating, they are easily distracted, easily frustrated. in a major campaign to ban lead in petrol— in a major campaign to ban lead in petrol was launched today. it is _ in petrol was launched today. it is called clear, which stands _ it is called clear, which stands for the campaign for leadfree air. it stands for the campaign for leadfree air.— leadfree air. it reached the maximum _ leadfree air. it reached the maximum in _ leadfree air. it reached the maximum in 1971, -

grossly exaggerated. the argument was that lower class children were more likely to be living in houses with peeling paint or old pipes or near to highways, so then the argument was, well, the relationship between high lead and low iq is because there is a social class difference. but i mean, that is where the animal studies were very important, and because it demonstrated that that didn't explain it. these are the animals we have been using to study the effects of lead treatment on behaviour in brain chemistry. they are very hard for experiment to catch. it is another indication of reactivity and aggressiveness. a letter written by sir henry, the government was achieved advisor, — the government was achieved advisor, has been linked to the press _ advisor, has been linked to the press in — advisor, has been linked to the press in the last few days. in it, press in the last few days. in it. he — press in the last few days. in it. he says _ press in the last few days. in it, he says there is a strong likelihood that lead in petrol is permanently reducing the iq of many— is permanently reducing the iq of many of our children. that was complete _ of many of our children. that was complete dynamite. -

daughter. my mother was often asked, were you afraid? you i asked, were you afraid? you were fearless. how can you do all these things? and she said, no, i was afraid, but she said, what needed to be done was so compelling that i had to do it. she grew up surrounded by nature, surrounded by the beauty of nature. i also remember her describing her mother being a farmer. her mother being a farmer. her mother grew all the food they ate, and then she goes away to school, to university out in the united states, and she comes back and joined the university of a young member of academic staff. she was struck by the issues that were being presented by women who were very much like her mother. they were talking about lack of fuel, lack of water and lack of nutritious food. and everything they described, she felt was connected to a degradation of the landscape, and so why not plant trees, she asked them? the women here till the land, so it— the women here till the land, so it is— the women here till the land, so it is important that they know— so it is important that they know how to conserve this soil. she founded the movement in 1977 to help women plant trees and, at the same time, begin to understand how to heal the land themselves. it is 50 million trees now and counting. very quickly, the greenbelt movement became more thanjust quickly, the greenbelt movement became more than just about planting trees, because we had an extremely dictatorial government. public hand was being parcelled out to the friends of the administration of the day, and so protecting this necessarily becomes political. the forest was by far one of the scariest battles. far one of the scariest battles— far one of the scariest battles. ., , ., ., battles. people are showing a lot of anger — battles. people are showing a lot of anger because -
