front line. are you an nhs frontline worker? or have you or your loved ones experienced delays obtaining nhs treatment? we'd love to hear from you. get in touch at @annitabbc #bbcyourquestions new figures show the number of uk workers on company payrolls rose by 160,000 last month despite the furlough support scheme coming to an end what they show is unemployment has consistently and continuously fallen for nine months in a row now and record numbers of people are in work. the us has condemned russia for conducting a "dangerous and irresponsible" missile test that it says endangered the crew aboard the international space station. good morning and welcome to bbc news. police say it could be weeks before the full picture emerges about sunday's explosion outside liverpool women's hospital. meanwhile, details have been emerging about the man who died when the home—made bomb exploded in a taxi as it pulled up outside the hospital. it's understood that 32—year—old emad al swealmeen was an asylum seeker from the middle east who converted to christianity in 2017. it's also reported that he suffered from mental health problems. investigators say the property at rutland avenue near sefton park, in the south—east of the city, is "becoming central to the investigation". this was the address where al swealmeen was picked up by the taxi before being driven to the maternity hospital. four men arrested in the city following the explosion have been released after detectives say they were satisfied with the accounts they had provided. this report from simonjones. what led emad al swealmeen to get a taxi to liverpool women's hospital on remembrance sunday carrying an improvised explosive device? his motive isn't clear. the consequences are. the taxi driver managed to scramble out of the vehicle. al swealmeen didn't. within moments, the taxi is engulfed in flames. al swealmeen was 32, a refugee from the middle east. it's believed he'd converted to christianity. he's said to have had mental health issues. when he arrived in the uk, he was befriended by malcolm and elizabeth hitchcott, who knew him as enzo. we're just so, so sad. yeah. and what do you remember of enzo? well, we just loved him. he was a lovely guy. were you shocked when you saw this today? very. part of the hospital remains a crime scene. police are trying to establish if it was the intended target of the attack. searches too at rutland avenue from where al swealmeen had been picked up by the taxi. he'd recently rented a place there. officers say they've recovered important evidence and now have a better understanding of how the explosive device was put together. it's a horrific incident. it's not a regular occurrence. thank goodness. i would just reassure our communities these incidents are rare. but i would say at this moment in time, i know people are feeling a little bit worried. so be vigilant, be alert. the national terror threat has been raised from substantial to severe. the family of the taxi driver, david perry, believe he's lucky to be alive. "it's an utter miracle," they say, that he escaped this. he's now trying to process the events. four men arrested in relation to the explosion have been released from custody. police say they're gaining a better insight by the hour into what happened, but it could take weeks to establish how the incident was planned and prepared. simon jones, bbc news. the shadow home secretary, nick thomas symonds, has said it was "understandable" that the terror threat level had been raised to severe "after the second incident in a matter of weeks". he called for an examination into attacks organised by individuals. we have to ask the public to be alert but we have to have the most effective measures of prevention in place. i previously called after the terrible stabbings that occurred in forbury gardens in reading that we needed specifically to be looking at the issue of lone actors but we don't know the specific conclusions of the case in liverpool yet as to whether someone was acting alone or in concert, and not for a moment are we drawing that conclusion but i do think we need to be looking at the attacks that have taken place, do we need something like a judge—led inquiry to look at the issue of lone attackers? what we need now, as i say, is to get this investigation concluded as swiftly as possible and then to look at the wider conclusions that perhaps we need to draw. the security minister damian hinds said security forces need to take account of a possible trend of attacks from individuals. it is certainly true there's been a move over time from what we call directed attacks, so where something is directed, as part of a sort of larger organisation, sometimes quite a complex organisation and a complex plot, and move from that to self—directed terrorists, self radicalised, sometimes totally alone although actually, as i said earlier, often interacting in some way or another and often of course online and so on, interacting with others, both in consuming propaganda and also in interacting and combining with others. and that is work that is ongoing the whole time to continue to understand that evolving and changing threat. 0ur correspondent, fiona trott, is at the scene of the blast. good morning to you, fiona. what is the latest on the investigation? the release of the latest on the investigation? tue: release of four the latest on the investigation? tte: release of four men last night, we get the sense the investigation is centred on emad al swealmeen, his background, his beliefs, we understand he had mental health issues. we understand it looks as though he was not known at this stage by mi5, counterterrorism police, merseyside police, mi5 working together on this investigation. counterterrorism police telling us they are learning more about the device itself, working on the assumption he made that device. they know more about the parts obtained, how they were likely to have been assembled. remember yesterday, an expert told us looking at the car wreckage, it looked as though there was a lot of fire damage, not a lot of blast damage so the device was not very large or it did not seem to go off properly so the investigation is still very much centred here where the explosion to place. according still in place, this morning, staff are coming and going, they have been offered counselling, patients have been told they can return here, it's very strange for them, women coming here for an appointment or mother is coming here with their babies. with enhanced security and cars being checked as they arrive at the hospital. investigation is centred here at that sefton park address that you heard about in the report earlier, the police saying to us this morning it may be some time, perhaps weeks, until we are confident in our understanding of exactly what happened.— confident in our understanding of exactly what happened. fiona, thank ou for exactly what happened. fiona, thank you for that — exactly what happened. fiona, thank you for that update. _ mps will hear evidence in the next half an hour from the former yorkshire county cricket player, azeem rafiq, about the racism he experienced at the club. the club's former chairman roger hutton, and the chief executive of the england and wales cricket board tom harrison, will also be appearing before the digital, culture, media and sport committee. laura scott reports. yorkshire is at the centre of a storm that has rocked the wider game. but farfrom blowing over, today, the focus moves from a fractured headingley to the corridors of westminster, as a select committee investigates a crisis that has dominated the headlines. first to give evidence will be azeem rafiq, whose revelations and allegations about yorkshire more than a year ago set the scandal in motion. playing professional cricket for yorkshire should be the best time of your life. unfortunately, for me, it wasn't. appearing alone, protected by parliamentary privilege, rafiq will be asked about his calls for disciplinary action to be taken by his former club after a report concluded he'd been the victim of racial harassment and bullying there. one of the allegations that the panel upheld included that in 2009, the former england and yorkshire captain michael vaughan made racist comments to a group of asian players, including rafiq, telling them, "too many of you lot, we need to do something about it." england bowler adil rashid yesterday said he heard the comment, but vaughan categorically denies ever saying it, and said being confronted with the allegation was the worst thing he'd ever experienced. under immense pressure, and an exodus by the club's sponsors, heads have rolled at yorkshire with chief executive mark arthur following chairman roger hutton out of the door. appearing in front of mps today, hutton will face questions over the club's handling of rafiq's allegations. watching on will be his successor, lord patel, who has acknowledged the road ahead will be challenging. after 158 years, we're ready to change. we're ready to accept the past, and we're ready to become a club, which people can trust to do the right thing. yorkshire's investigating several new allegations and has set up a hotline for anyone with complaints. it's also suspended head coach andrew gaile over an alleged anti—semitic tweet. but the cloud enveloping cricket extends beyond the borders of one county. essex county cricket club's chairman john farragher resigned last friday over allegedly using racist language in a board meeting in 2017. allegations he denies. two players have since come forward to say they suffered racist abuse at the club, with one of them making claims about northamptonshire too. bosses from the ecb can expect scrutiny over how the governing body deals with complaints and the wider implications of this crisis for cricket, a matter that's already concerning many in the game. what you don't want it to do is be a bit of a talking shop, a bit of a hoo ha for a week or two, and then suddenly azeem gets his little bit, and yorkshire get their little bit and they've had a slap on the wrist and we all move on because it's a lot deeper than that. it's a lot more embedded. today's proceedings centre on allegations by elite players. but they'll affect those who play forfun, as those in positions of power prepare for difficult deliveries about where the sport has fallen short and what more it can do to make cricket a game for all. laura scott, bbc news. at about 9:30 this morning, the former yorkshire player azeem rafiq will be addressing the digital, culture, media and sport select committee. we'll bring that to you live. nhs leaders are warning that this could be the most difficult winter in the history of the health service . nhs providers, which represents trusts in england, says bosses are concerned about increased demand for emergency care and staff shortages. the government says it's investing £5.a—billion over this winter, including £478—million to help get patients out of hospital. this is likely to be the busiest time of year for us. we're already very busy before we hit those winter months. we're looking to recruit as many staff as we possibly can. we're looking to expand accident and emergency departments, we're looking to ensure we have got mental health crisis services in place. wherever you look, the nhs is doing its very best to be ready for what we think could be probably the most difficult winter for the nhs we have ever seen. we will be back with more on that story very soon. let's get more on this with our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam joins us now. remind us of the story so far on this. why or how, what is the mechanism i guess, one mp can block this. about two weeks ago. _ guess, one mp can block this. about two weeks ago, parliament - guess, one mp can block this. about two weeks ago, parliament was - guess, one mp can block this. .�*5.j�*,t7t,ii two weeks ago, parliament was going to vote on emotion from the committee which is the committee that oversees the conduct of mps, which was going to censor the former conservative mp 0wen paterson for mixing up his outside commercial interests with his role as an mp and lobbying the government. then, that was going to be amended by some of his allies are so that his case would be paused and a new committee would be paused and a new committee would look at potentially introducing an appeals process into the disciplinary process. that was backed by the government. it caused massive uproar when that went through. and then, the government did a massive u—turn, this latest notion would basically be the last stage of that u—turn. it would restore the original verdict on lord patterson 0wen paterson. the government was hoping to get this motion through parliament late last night. at the end of the parliamentary day. without a debate, potentially without a vote. the mechanism that was used meant if just one mp objected to the process it would not happen and that is what happened. it was christopher chopra who has got a history of doing this sort of thing. likes parliamentary procedure to be reflected and often is tools at his disposal to thwart anyone who tries to subvert the procedure. what it means is that motion will now be discussed today, there is a good chance there will be a debate and there is a good chance there will be a vote so it will be a little bit more high—profile than if it had been the late—night little snake through that the government originally intended.— originally intended. frustrating for the government _ originally intended. frustrating for the government that _ originally intended. frustrating for the government that it's _ originally intended. frustrating for| the government that it's happening this way, not the way they intended? you know what? let's see what happens in a few hours. do we see allies of 0wen paterson standing up to criticise the government? is it an opportunity for opposition mps to have another go at the government for how this was handled? and then, onceit for how this was handled? and then, once it goes to a vote, if it does, because it still could be noted through, it will be another opportunity to see what sort of divisions there are on the tory benches between those people supportive of 0wen paterson, those people who want a change to the system, those tory mps who frankly think the whole thing stinks and there will be another day at this, at least, because tomorrow, labour have got control of a couple of hours of the parliamentary agenda and they are going to do a debate on standards. they will be calling for a ban on mps having outside commercial interests, saying they should only be able to do second jobs that are of true public service, interesting to see how labour would define that and also i think they're going to call for the government to publish the minutes of the discussions between government departments and randox, the medical testing company that owned paterson was employed by. that's an opposition day debate at westminster in the jargon, that means any vote is not binding on the government but the government will have to take a view on how to handle it and then labour will presumably weapon eyes any position that the government takes in a debate.— any position that the government takes in a debate. the headlines on bbc news... the liverpool explosion — police name the suspect who was killed in the blast as 32—year—old emad al swealmeen. four men who were arrested have been released. the former yorkshire county cricket player, azeem rafiq, prepares to give evidence to mps about the racism he experienced at the club. we'll have coverage from parliament. and that will start in the next 15 minutes. pressure on the nhs in england — hospital trusts warn "it will be the most difficult winter in the history of the health

first overseas trip by a senior member of the royal family since the pandemic. later in the week, he'll travel to egypt where he'll discuss climate change. let's get more on this from our royal correspondent, jonny dymond. tell us, have the royals arrived? it's been a pretty eventful period for the royal family so what are we expecting from prince charles and the duchess of cornwall? fin expecting from prince charles and the duchess of cornwall?- the duchess of cornwall? on the auestion the duchess of cornwall? on the question of _ the duchess of cornwall? on the question of arrival, _ the duchess of cornwall? on the question of arrival, it _ the duchess of cornwall? on the question of arrival, it really - the duchess of cornwall? on the question of arrival, it really is i question of arrival, it really is any moment now. you may be able to see over my shoulder the red carpet which is laid out here at the international airport here in oman. and we are expecting the prince of wales and his wife, the duchess of cornwall, in around 15 minutes. they are flying into jordan, cornwall, in around 15 minutes. they are flying intojordan, a place the prince has been too many times, a long—standing ally of the uk. and it is an island of stability in a region pretty much be set by turmoil. and that is one of the jobs at prince charles comes to do, he comes here at the invitation of the foreign office in one of the jobs this essentially soft power. it is about showing friendship between the uk and jordan and doing it in a rather personal way. this too is a monarchy here injordan, monarchy here in jordan, long—standing monarchy here injordan, long—standing links with the royal family and long—standing friendships but on top of that, there are also the interests of prince charles that he will pursue here. the environment is a huge issue, water scarcity a huge issue here injordan. there isn't enough waterfor huge issue here injordan. there isn't enough water for the population and it's been getting worse as the climate has changed. people visit environmental projects, refugees is traditionally an issue that prince charles has been interested in and jordan has traditionally had open arms to refugees, millions of palestinians, in the and 80s and more recently, iraqis and around 650,000 syrians, the most recent here in this very small country. it's often been hospitable. there will be a visit to a refugee centre. finally, interfaith dialogue, bringing religious leaders together and fights together and finally a dialogue here. a pretty busy time for this first trip for a major royal since the pandemic, a few days injordan and then on to egypt. thank you. more from jonny dymond later. the number of workers on uk payrolls rose by 160,000 from september to october, despite the end of the government's furlough scheme. the office for national statistics says there were 29.3 million payrolled employees last month. the unemployment rate has fallen to 4.3%, near its pre—pandemic level. job vacancies between august and october also rose to a record high. the chancellor, rishi sunak, has given his response to the figures this morning. today's jobs figures are the first we've had since furlough ended and what they show is that unemployment has consistently and continuously fallen for nine months in a row now and record numbers of people are in work, including, i can announce today, 100,000 young people who have started jobs through our kick—start scheme. so that's all testament to our plan forjobs working. we are seeing supply chain challenges, and that's not uncommon, we're seeing that across the world. and what we're doing, where we can make a difference, we are. so whether that's hgv drivers, we are investing in facilities to help improve those. we're improving training opportunities for those in driving professions, for example. it's all part of our plan forjobs to give people the skills they need to get those jobs and that's what we're seeing. joining me now is andrei lussmann, he owns and runs four restaurants in hertfordshire and is due to open a fifth next month. thank you forjoining us. we know finding staff has been an issue for the hospitality sector for a little while. what's it like at the moment? well, it's challenging, to put it lightly, there is a mixed bag across the country. obviously, i echo what the country. obviously, i echo what the chancellor said about furlough coming to an end because that's the best thing that could happen, we need people to come back to work for many reasons, most importantly for their self worth and then belonging to an organisation and earning money. but we are struggling slightly but i don't think this is now a problem which is faced throughout the country in all industries. i am finding that some parts of the industry are worse than others and some restaurant companies are maybe not opening until lunch times, some are opening four day week only. i'm happy to say for fortunate reasons we are not quite there but it's certainly a struggle. how much competition is there for staff within the hospitality sector and between hospitality and other sectors of business?— and between hospitality and other sectors of business? hospitality, we all know, sectors of business? hospitality, we all know. has _ sectors of business? hospitality, we all know, has relied _ sectors of business? hospitality, we all know, has relied for— sectors of business? hospitality, we all know, has relied for many - sectors of business? hospitality, we all know, has relied for many years | all know, has relied for many years on this pipeline of european staff and beyond. and when you turn off that tab that has obviouslyjust happen, that was a very violent turning of and not very pragmatic or supportive of business are what has happened is there's this huge vacuum of staff that are not there so are now all competing for the same pot. across different sectors and different industries. you know, in the long term, it will drive up the standard of living, the training will improve, it will safeguard staff against potential low pay so this is so positive in the long term but in the short term, it does not help and all it does is stop momentum. industry needs people to set up business, we need people to take the risk, employ staff, pay taxes and we go on our way to stop. why, given these challenges and you say you believe they are shorter term challenges, but why, are you opening another restaurant now? you often have a — opening another restaurant now? gm. often have a child when you least expect it! and you are never quite ready. business is the same, opportunities and chances come knocking on your door when you are not ready and that is the nature of industry. you take the opportunity, you balance up the risks against reward. and you go for it. and i still feel that business, like ourselves, we will pay more, we will train more, we will invest in the future of our staff and in the long term, you know, the industry will be betterfor term, you know, the industry will be better for it. term, you know, the industry will be betterfor it. in term, you know, the industry will be better for it. in the short term, we should never have turned the tap off so quickly. should never have turned the tap off so

pictures of him arriving just a few moments ago, appearing before the digital, culture media and sport select committee at westminster. we will bring that to you life. after that report, saying he had suffered racism, racial harassment at the club. right now, time for a look at the weather. carol kirkwood has the details. good morning. it's been a fairly mild but cloudy start to the day, we have a weak weather front moving towards the south—eastern corner, still some spots of rain. we have heavy rain coming into northern ireland, with high exposure. temperatures 10—13 . as we head through the evening and overnight, this weather front in the north sinks south as a weak feature with some spots of rain. behind that, clear skies and we see some patchy mist and fog and a lot of showers coming in on the brisk westerly wind. some of which will be wintry on the scottish mountains. overnight lows between four and 10 degrees. tomorrow we hang on to all the showers coming in on the brisk westerly wind, cloud building towards the west through the day, thick enough for drizzle here and there, sunshine for the midlands, there, sunshine for the midlands, the south—east and eastern parts of england. at times, eastern scotland as well. cooler in the north, but mild for the rest of us. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the liverpool explosion — police name the suspect who was killed in the blast as 32—year—old emad al swealmeen. four men who were arrested have been released. the former yorkshire county cricket player, azeem rafiq, has arrived at parliament — as he prepares to give evidence to mps about the racism he experienced at the club. pressure on the nhs in england — hospital trusts warn "it will be the most difficult winter in the history of the health service" new figures show the number of uk workers on company payrolls rose by 160,000 last month — despite the furlough support scheme coming to an end. the us has condemned russia for conducting a "dangerous and irresponsible" missile test that it says endangered the crew aboard the international space station. you had better crack on, you have ten england goal to fit in? good morning... england have qualified for the world cup in qatar, a 10—0 win against the worlds lowest ranked team san marino sealing their spot... they were 6—0 up at half time. harry kane with four of them. his fifth international hatrick. it's back—to—back hat tricks as well, first player to do that for england since the 50s. he's level with gary lineker in the all—time england goal—scoring list, just five short of wayne rooney's all time record of 53. emile smith rowe scored on his first international start. but of course it was all about kane. a case of when not if he become's england's all time leading goal—scorer. we didn't give him the minutes, but he understood that. he has got huge personal ambitions as well as the team ones. he showed again the clinical nature and the mentality he's got. there is no reason he can't... it's not is he going to break the record, it is when. and then what he might do with it once he is beyond that point. just a week after being sacked as aston villa manager... scotland also won last night and move a step closer to qualifying for their first world cup since 1998 having sealed a home draw in the semifinal play—offs. they beat table toppers denmark 2—0 at hampden park, john souttar scoring the first for scotland in his first game since 2018. then che adams sealed the three points with four minutes remaining ending the danes six match winning run and sealing second place in group f for steve clarke's side. northern ireland can't qualify but held european champions italy to a goalless draw at windsor park, conor washington with the opportunity to snatch a win in the final moments, before his effort was cleared off the line. the result means italy will have to progress through the playoffs if they are to make it to the world cup next winter. we're crossing now to that hearing by the house of commons culture, media and sport committee, into yorkshire county cricket club's handling of racial harassment and bullying against the player azeem rafiq. the proceedings are covered by parliamentary privilege — and please be aware that this live coverage may contain offensive language. that will obviously form part of our evidence. i remind

mr hutton used to work for, i believe, conducted the enquiry. and the panel edge oversaw that enquiry effectively, some members had to step down and three members were left. reading the report it is then di rollo stupidity in the way it is constructed. you have moments when hearsay is effectively given... for example, zumba is supposed to be racist while the p word does not. that is the thinking that goes on in this report and the way in which it also tends to have the panel contradicting the law firm and vice versa. what is your views how that was handled and basically, what did you think
