a warning that the nhs is facing the most difficult winter in its history. and why the crew of the international space station had to take cover when russia blew up one of its own satellites with a missile. the former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq has given harrowing evidence to mps about how he was bullied and racially abused at the club. he says he and others of asian heritage were told to sit near the toilets with racial slurs used �*constantly�*. he was close to tears as he told the commons culture, media and sport committee that he felt isolated and humiliated, and that the club treated him in an �*inhuman�* way. azeem rafiq said there's institutional racism across english cricket. a warning — this report from laura scott does contain some offensive language. azeem rafiq said today was the time for truth, as the focus of cricket's racism crisis moved yorkshire to westminster, those troops from the man whose allegation said the scandal in motion proved uncomfortable. ijoined the dressing room, full of my heroes, michael vaughan, matthew hoggard, part of the 2005 ashes team and it was the most surreal moment for me, i entered that dressing room. pretty early on me and other people from asian backgrounds there were comments such as, you lot sit over there near the toilets, elephant washers. the word expletive constantly and there seem to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no one ever stamped it out. when i spoke i should have been listened to, but yorkshire county cricket club as a whole and the game as a whole has a problem in listening to the victim. it has been yeah, but, but there is no yeah, but to racism, no two sides to a story when it comes to racism. he said he was initially in denial about how he was treated but felt isolated and humiliated when he returned for a second spell at yorkshire. he spoke movingly about the response by people at the club after his son was stillborn. i just carried my son from the hospital to the graveyard and how i am getting treated here is not right. to me it became very clear even myself that i had been looking the other way, and there is a real problem here not just at yorkshire, throughout the country, and i am going to be the one that is speaking about this. rafiq said there are three bits to the scandal, what happened during his career, the investigation into his allegations and what he considers to be the cover—up since. including what he called the staggering decision by yorkshire to take no disciplinary action when he was found to have been the victim of racial harassment and bullying. the arrogance of these people that they felt so untouchable, little old azeem rafiq, no one will believe him. he criticised a number of his ex team—mates and said the former england player gary ballance had used derogatory nicknames to describe non—white players and said it was completely wrong for the former england and yorkshire captain michael vaughan to have used his platform as a national newspaper columnist to deny an allegation rafiq made that in 2009 he had told a group of asian players, too many of you lot, we need to do something about it. he also condemned the actions by organisations, describing the players union as inept and saying the england and wales cricket board had to stop palming the problem off. he said last winter he begged both bodies to intervene in yorkshire's investigation but neither did. during what at times was an emotional evidence session he said he wasn't sure if he was brave or stupid to stand up to the institution but said all he had ever wanted was acceptance, to make sure his kids didn't go through the same experiences and to give a voice to the voiceless. after the harrowing evidence from the azeem rafiq he was followed by the azeem rafiq he was followed by the former chairman of yorkshire roger hudson who resigned last week and in a rare move to new chairman of yorkshire first knight was culled from the public gallery to give evidence. asked if he thought was yorkshire was institutionally racist, your 7 roger hudson, he said it seems that way. another was at the same question and said they had a thing of the report speaks to institutional racism. the ecb and evidence that if we are not in an emergency we are approaching one. tom harris said he believes the governing body is fit for purpose but accepts there needs to be lessons learned and action taken. he said there has been progress in the game but more needs to be done. julian knight, the chair of the committee, said the ecb failed to take decisive action. the committee section came to a close in the last hour, what happens next? lard section came to a close in the last hour, what happens next? lord patel, the new chairman _ hour, what happens next? lord patel, the new chairman of _ hour, what happens next? lord patel, the new chairman of yorkshire - hour, what happens next? lord patel, the new chairman of yorkshire and - the new chairman of yorkshire and the new chairman of yorkshire and the ecb chief executive described this as a watershed moment. we will hear more reaction as the days and weeks go on to azeem rafiq's testimony today, from the individuals he named, organisations like the players union the pca, the criticism to them and also other counties as well. we know there is to be lessons learned, everyone who appeared in front of mps today accepted that but tom harrison said we will transform this game very quickly. the survival of the sport depends on it. quickly. the survival of the sport depends on

we've been hearing powerful testimony by azeem rafiq about his first hand experiences, if you have experienced any of these issues yourself there are organisations who may be able to give you help or advice. the bbc understands police are examining whether the main charge on the device at the women's hospital in liverpool failed to explode. although footage shows the taxi carrying emad al swealmeen in flames, it appears none of the vehicles close by were damaged. ministers say it could be many weeks before police fully understand the circumstances around the attack. al swealmeen reportedly moved to the uk from the middle east, but had his asylum claim rejected. fiona trott reports from liverpool. a quiet sunday morning, a hospital where women and their babies were being cared for, then this. the passenger was killed. amazingly, the driver escaped the blaze, a fire so fierce and so dangerously close to the hospital itself. the passenger was 32—year—old emad al swealmeen. a refugee originally from the middle east, it is believed he converted to christianity. he may have had mental health issues. was befriended by malcolm and elizabeth hitchcot, who knew him as enzo. we're just so, so sad. and what do you remember of enzo7 well, we just loved him. he was a lovely guy. were you shocked when you saw this today? very. this is the sefton park area. it's where emad al swealmeen was picked up by the taxi. significant items have been found here. police say they're also learning more about the parts used in the explosive device and how they were obtained. as this investigation continues. questions are now being asked about the changing nature of terrorism and what we can do to prevent it. it is certainly true that there's been a move over time from what we call directed attacks. so sometimes quite a complex organisation and a complex plot and move from that to self—directed terrorist, self—radicalised. 0n the streets of liverpool today, the chief constable was reassuring the residents. these families were forced out of their homes in the hours after the attack. people will see in liverpool and across merseyside over the forthcoming days and forthcoming weeks. they will see additional police officers. they will see additional pcsos. so that's absolutely about providing reassurance. this women's hospital, a happy place for so many new mothers, remains a crime scene today. people wonder if it was the intended target, the site of the first attack of its kind on their city. there was an organisation on twitter yesterday offering free counselling, the women's hospital offering counselling for the staff. we're doing the same within the organisation. and people experience shock in different ways, it might not be now. it might be next week or the week after, and they should seek help. david perry's family is still coming to terms with this. the taxi driver is lucky to be alive. his relatives say it was an utter miracle he escaped the blaze. as investigators work on the means and the method behind this, they're still keeping an open mind about the motive — that they say could take many weeks. fiona trott, bbc news, liverpool. the home office minister kit malthouse has been updating mps about the investigation. the explosion just before 11 on sunday was a shocking incident, my thoughts are with those affected, and the city of my birth, liverpool. i would like to thank the emergency services and the police for their work on the investigation which continues at pace. the house will understand i cannot comment on the details of this case as there is an ongoing life investigation and we are of course monitoring it closely. the police have stated the motivation for this incident is yet to be understood. however, this is a further stark reminder about the threat we all face from terrorism. 0ur world—class security and terror agencies and counterterror police work night and day to keep us safe was that the joint terrorism analysis centre took the decision to raise the national threat level from substantial meaning a likely attack, to severe meaning an attack is highly likely. j tackle which operates independently of ministers came to an agreed a settlement 7 assessment. i would urge the public and media to avoid speculation at this stage. public safety is one of our chief priorities and we will continue working with the police alongside our world—class intelligence and security agencies to confront and combat the threat from terrorism.— to confront and combat the threat from terrorism. ., ' . , from terrorism. home office minister kitt malthouse. _ a second woman has come forward with allegations that the prime minister's father, stanleyjohnson, touched her inappropriately. alva rea — a journalist at the new statesman — said she was groped at a conservative conference two years ago. mrjohnson is yet to comment on the claim. last night, the tory mp, caroline nokes, alleged on sky news that she'd been touched inappropriately in 2003. mrjohnson told the broadcaster he had "no recollection" of her. the manchester city defender, benjamin mendy, has been charged with two further counts of rape. the 27—year—old — who'd already been suspended by the club — now faces a total of six counts, and another of sexual assault. he's due before magistrates in stockport tomorrow. —— ailbhe rea. the national health service is facing the most difficult winter in its history, according to nhs providers, which represents trusts in england. it says hospitals are already "beyond full stretch", dealing with pressures such as growing waiting lists, increased demand for emergency care, and staff shortages. our health editor hugh pym has this report. so we've got no beds on trauma, no medical beds, no surgical beds. the morning huddle in the emergency department. how many patients are in the department currently waiting for beds? every week seems to be more hectic than the last one. at the moment we've got about eight patients waiting for admission. with record numbers of patients. my concern is not only that we have high levels of bed waits, waits to be seen, the risk of clinical incidents goes up by the day, but my bigger concern is that i'm not sure what we can do about it. the ambulances keep on coming, but beds are hard to find because patients in the hospital are staying longer. so what do doctors think is happening? they say it's notjust covid. there are a lot of other health problems. just generally unwell patients in the community. we've got a population that is getting older. they're getting frail. also finding is that trend as more people are getting older, nore people are needing much more input and they are needing more acutely. covid hasn't gone away. infection control measures are still needed. we're going to cross now to the scottish parliament, where the first minister nicola sturgeon is updating msps on coronavirus measures. 12 to 15—year—olds having a first dose and to now only a single dose has been recommended for these age groups but following yesterdayupdated advice from the first night we are now offering a second dose to 16 and 17 euros. 0n first, second and booster and third doses scotland is currently the most vaccinated part of the uk, town of course to the incredible hard work of everyone involved in organising and delivering the programme and i want to record my thanks to each and every one of them. today's weekly update coincides with the latest three week review point for the remaining covid regulation so i can confirm that at our meeting earlier today the cabinet agreed to keep the current regulations in place with no immediate changes but we also considered although have not yet reached final decisions on the possibility of future changes to the covid certification scheme and i will say more about that shortly. the numbers reported in recent days here in scotland, which i will talk about in more detail, illustrate the need for continued precautions, so too does the challenging situation being experienced again across europe, several european countries are currently dealing with a sharp increase in cases, infection rates increase in cases, infection rates in germany have reached their highest level since the pandemic started, the netherlands reintroduced to some covid measures last week, ireland today and austria has just introduced extremely tough restrictions on people who are not fully vaccinated. all of this is a reminder that governments everywhere is grappling with the same issues and dilemmas we are. the threat posed by covid is with us even though they have been mitigated by vaccination and the race between the virus and vaccines has not yet been won. the situation in scotland bears that out, but before i give an update on the overall trends in scotland i want to say some words about the impact of recent events in glasgow. i will reflect more generally on cop26 and a further statement to parliament later this afternoon but while we cannot yet draw final conclusions i can confirm now there is no sign so far in any significant spike in covid cases associated with cop26. rigorous measures were put in place, for example anyone entering the blue zone, the main summit site, had to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test result. evidence published by public health got under way today suggesting people officially affiliated with cop26, approximately four and every 1000 tested positive for covid through routine lateral flow testing, contrasting with survey data for the scottish public as a whole suggesting every 1000 had 12 people testing positive. 291 people in october across scotland supported 0ctober across scotland supported attending a cop26 related event, including satellite meetings and demonstrations as well as the main summit itself, representing less than half of 1% of all those who tested positive for covid of the past month and reported through test and protect. all of this at this stage suggests that the mitigations put in place for cop26 were effective and i want to put on record my thanks to delegates for their compliance and everyone who worked so hard in the run up and during cop26 ensure the safest possible manner. we have seen from just over 2500 new cases per day to approximately 3000 per day at this stage. this headline figure, it must be noted, mask its distinct variation between some age groups, cases among under 60s increased by 14% during the past week and much of this increase was people under the age of 20. by contrast, cases in the over 60 age group fell in the past week by 11%. this is likely to be due at least in part to the success of the booster programme, which of course is prioritised amongst the older population, i will say more about that shortly. the declining crisis amongst older people may explain why despite the overall increase in cases the numbers in hospital with covid average of slightly in recent weeks. if you weeks ago 7 three weeks ago there were... there is 779 now. they number in intensive care has fallen, slightly from 59 to 57. all of that said, the number of patients in hospital with covid is still extremely high, if cases continue to increase notwithstanding the age profile we are likely to see hospital admissions and occupancy start to rise again. in addition the nhs is currently treating people in hospital for care which had to nhs is currently treating people in hospitalfor care which had to be delayed by earlier covid countermeasures and as we go further into winter we can expect other seasonal pressures for example flew to increase. all of this means the nhs is under extreme pressure and we continue to work closely with health boards to address and mitigate these pressures as far as we can. he vaccination programme of course continues to be critical in reducing the direct health harm caused by the virus. i mentioned a moment ago the declining covid rates in older age groups and the following hospital admissions may well reflect the impact of the vaccine booster campaign. i can confirm that more than1 million boosterjags have now been administered and more than 70% of the over 70 age group have now had a a booster. we know the booster significantly increases the effectiveness of the vaccine so this high level of uptake is important and we will continue to push it up as far as possible. the programme took a further step forward yesterday with the launch of the online booking portal, everyone aged 50-59 online booking portal, everyone aged 50—59 together with unpaid carers and household contacts of the immunosuppressed and anyone eligible for a vaccine who has not yet had an appointment can yet book online at nhs in form. since yesterday morning more than 511,000 people have made online bookings and more than 8000 people have made bookings through the national helpline, which can be called on oh 800 over 3008013. it is important to remember boosters can only be given 26 weeks after someone's second job, for many in the 50-59 someone's second job, for many in the 50—59 age group, appointments will only be possible from december onwards, and also worth pointing out people living in 0rkney, shetland, the western isles and nhs highland health board areas will not use the online booking system but receive information direct from the health board about local appointment arrangements. the jc board about local appointment arrangements. thejc vi updated its advice yesterday in addition to recommended second doses for 16 and 17—year—olds, it recommended booster jags 17—year—olds, it recommended booster jags for people in the 40s, we will now look to implement this new advice as quickly as we can. and ensure working with the health board the overall programme is delivered as quickly as possible. taking stock, this winter, the vaccination programme is the largest and most complex ever undertaken in scotland. since the first week in september more than 3 million flue and booster jags more than 3 million flue and booster jags have been administered, take up rates have been encouraging and this is providing vital protection for winter. i am is providing vital protection for winter. iam hugely is providing vital protection for winter. i am hugely gratefulfor everyone helping getjags into people's arms as quickly as possible. i want to take this opportunity again to urge every single person eligible for vaccination whether for a first or second jack or a booster authored jag to take up the offer are without delay and get the fulljag if you are eligible. getting vaccinated remains the single most important thing everyone can do to protect ourselves, our loved ones and communities. it is impossible to overstate how important it is to get vaccinated so if you have not already, please do so now. you could be serving your own life or the lives of your loved ones. he will be reassuring others including those most at risk, some of whom have clinical conditions that mean they cannot get vaccinated themselves, you will be helping those working in the nhs and maximising our collective chances of getting through this winter without the need to reintroduce any restrictions. in my view, choosing without good reason not to be vaccinated is deeply irresponsible. getting vaccinated on the other hand is a civic duty and it is the most precious gift we can give to others at this time. the vaccine programme will continue to be the bedrock of efforts to control covid but other mitigations remain in place and are also important. lateralflow remain in place and are also important. lateral flow testing appears to have been effective in limiting transmission during cop26. that should remind all of us that these tests are an important way of detecting infection in those without symptoms, therefore preventing onward spread. i would again encourage everyone to do a lateral flow test at least twice a week and especially if you are attending events or mixing with people in other households. the tests can be ordered three through nhs or collected from test sites and local pharmacies. face coverings also continue to be a simple but important mitigation and remain a legal requirement on public transport, in shops and when moving around in hospitality settings. please also continue to work from home when that is practical, i am today asking all employers to look again at whether more workers could be supported to do more work from home over the winter period. lastly, good ventilation is vital, if any of us are having people visit our homes, we should open a window, even slightly, to let some air flow through the room. within the public sector we have taken significant steps to improve ventilation, for example funding for carbon dioxide monitors in schools, and in september had the establishment of a £25 million fund to help businesses improve ventilation. this fund opens for applications next week. businesses such as restaurants, bars and gyms will be able to claim back costs of up to £2500 for measures like the installation of carbon dioxide monitors or improvements to windows and vents. for more information on eligibility, have a look on the fine business support website. all of these basic mitigation measures are really important at this stage. of course some of them are valuable long—term investments. for example better ventilation wouldn't just investments. for example better ventilation wouldn'tjust reduce the spread of covid but also reduce the spread of covid but also reduce the spread of covid but also reduce the spread of other airborne viruses now and in future. there is an important point here worth stressing. when we talk, as many do, about a living with covid, it is important we don't think of this as simply giving in to the virus. instead it is about making sensible changes that allow us to return both to greater normality and to better health. presiding officer, the final mitigation measure i want to talk about is the covid certification scheme. it is the strong view of the scottish government that this, together with the other measure still in place, makes an important and proportionate contribution to stemming covid transmission. the value of certification is also recognised in other countries, many of which require certification for access to a much wider range of services than is currently the case in scotland. wales, for example, expanded the scope of its own scheme yesterday. it never applies to theatres, cinemas and concert halls in addition to the same range of venues as in scotland 7 mac it now applies. possible changes to the current certification scheme were discussed at our meeting this morning. we intend to take a final decision next tuesday in light of the most up—to—date data. in the meantime later this week we will publish an evidence paper and consult businesses on the practicalities of implementation, should any changes be made. while final decisions have not yet been made i want to provide an update on theissues made i want to provide an update on the issues under consideration. i should also say that we would provisionally intend for any changes we do decide to make to the scheme to take effect from december six. when the scheme launched on october one, wejudge that when the scheme launched on october one, we judge that was not appropriate at that time given the imperative to drive up vaccination rates to include testing as an alternative to proof of vaccination but we indicated this would be kept under review, so we will be setting in the coming days whether, on the basis of current and projected vaccination uptake rates, we are now in a position to amend the scheme so that, in addition to showing evidence of vaccination to access a venue, there will also be the option of providing evidence of a recent negative test result. that is already a feature of many other countries' certification schemes. we are also considering whether an expansion of the scheme to cover more settings would be justified and prudent, given the current state of the pandemic. again let me stress we have not at this stage taken a decision to extend the reach of the scheme however to allow us to engage openly with businesses about the pros and cons and practicalities, i can confirm the kinds of settings that might be in scope would be indoor cinemas, theatres and some other licensed and hospitality premises. we would retain exemptions for those under 18, for those who cannot be vaccinated or tested for medical reasons, for people in clinical trials and for those who work at events or venues subject to the scheme. exceptions would be retained for worship, weddings, funerals and related gatherings. i will give a further update on this in next week's statement and if we decide to propose any amendments to the regulations on certification we will have the opportunity to discuss and debate these amendments in parliament. i am acutely aware that many businesses want us to remove mitigations including certification, not extend or tighten them. i understand that. but all of our decisions are, and must be, motivated by a desire to keep people safe, but also to get through what will be a challenging winter, without having to reintroduce any restrictions on trade. we want, if possible, business is to stay fully open for christmas and through the winter whilst also keeping covid under control. if an expansion of covid certification can help us do that, it would be irresponsible not to consider it. presiding officer, is the detail of the statement makes clear, and is a situation across europe also shows, the need to carefully manage this pandemic still deprives us of any easy options. but we hope very much to get through winter without reintroducing any further restrictions, as some other countries are now starting to do. we do have a duty to keep proportionate options under review and we will do so. to assist with and give an insight into the factors guiding our considerations, we are also publishing an updated strategic —— framework today. this covers in more detail many of the issues i have already summarised. 0ne detail many of the issues i have already summarised. one of the points it reiterates is that all of us across society, individuals, businesses and other organisations must continue to play our part in helping curb the spread of the virus. forthat helping curb the spread of the virus. for that reason cabinet secretaries are continuing to work with individual local authorities and businesses on the actions we need to take to reduce transmission, preferably without additional restrictions and i will close again ijy restrictions and i will close again by reiterating what we can all do to protect ourselves and each other. firstly, please do get vaccinated if you are eligible and haven't yet done so. as i mentioned earlier that includes going for the boosterjag when you are invited. it is never too late to get vaccinated and it remains the single most important thing any of us can do right now. secondly, test regularly with lateral flow devices. these can be ordered through nhs reform, or collected through local test sites or pharmacies. if you test positive or pharmacies. if you test positive or identifying as a close contact or have virus symptoms, please self—isolate and put a pcr test and third, please comply with the mitigation still in place, work from home when that is possible, we are face coverings in indoor public places, shops, public transport and moving around, and hospitality, wash hands and surfaces dolly and meet outdoors as possible. that obviously gets hotter through the winter but it is the case that outdoor environments are safer than indoors. and when you are meeting indoors, try to open windows, anything to improve ventilation will help. all of these precautions do still make a difference, they will protect those around us and help ease the burden on our nhs and i ask everyone to continue to stick with them and thank everyone for doing so. that was nicola _ thank everyone for doing so. that was nicola sturgeon, _ thank everyone for doing so. that was nicola sturgeon, the scottish first minister, talking. joining me now is our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. that was a little glance across what is happening with the covid rates and the rest of europe and as nicola sturgeon mentioned, the gradual increase in cases in scotland itself. . ., ., , , ., increase in cases in scotland itself. ., , , ., , itself. the context, as you said, is that restrictions _ itself. the context, as you said, is that restrictions are _ itself. the context, as you said, is that restrictions are being - that restrictions are being reintroduced in several european countries, among them the netherlands, ireland and austria which is introducing tough restrictions for those who are not fully vaccinated. nicola sturgeon said the numbers here in scotland are creeping up slowly, primarily among the u20s, but in terms of what she announced in this three weekly review, it is a holding pattern, really. she is not ruling anything in, not reading any further restrictions out. there was some speculation that perhaps the covid vaccine passport scheme would be expanded here in scotland. she said that won't happen for now. they will look at it further over the next few days. they will consult with businesses and then make a further announcement next week and, if it were to be introduced, and expanded scheme, that would take place on december the 6th. at the moment the scheme covers nightclubs and other large venues here in scotland. she said if it was to be expanded further, it would cover places like indoor cinemas, theatres and some licensed and hospitality premises. she said it was the strong view of the scottish government that a vaccine passport scheme is an important contribution to stemming transmission of covid here in scotland. but i think she is facing a lot of scepticism in the business community, as to its value. at the chamber of commerce in scotland, said in a recent survey almost two thirds of businesses were against covid passports and that nearly a quarter of businesses said that they would suffer severe financial consequences, so there was a lot of concern in the run—up to christmas amongst the business community about the effects that vaccine passport might have. nicola sturgeon, the first minister said that they would consult with businesses trying to find the best way forward, but she said the scottish government is strongly convinced it has an important role to play, and that if they do decide to go forward with it, it will come in to effect december the 6th.- it, it will come in to effect december the 6th. you mention concerns around _ december the 6th. you mention concerns around the _ december the 6th. you mention concerns around the potential i december the 6th. you mention -

the message - rates? people are watching closely and hearing the message that - rates? people are watching closely and hearing the message that it's. and hearing the message that it's coming from nicola sturgeon and indeed all of the governments in the uk about the effect on the nhs, the pressure is the nhs is facing, in terms of catch—up services, the effect that covid is having, talking about close to 800 people in hospital in scotland due to covid at the moment and the fact that there will be seasonal, winter pressures that fully brings, so people know that fully brings, so people know that the nhs is under pressure, there is a very successful take up a vaccine is here in scotland. in fact it is the most vaccinated part of the uk in terms of both first, second and boosterjabs as well stop there are quite strict rules here in scotland in many areas. it is the law to wear a mask indoors in public places and there is a repeated message that those who have not been vaccinated should go forward and get theirjabs. nicola sturgeon talking about the effect of lateral flow test, the positive effect, she cited that as one of the reasons why there has not so far been a spike in covid cases in glasgow after cop26. that was one of the concerns ahead of this huge conference, where 20 odd thousand people came in from around the world to discuss climate change. there was concern it would lead to an increase in cases in glasgow. that so far has not happened because of the strict to measures put in place. lateralflow of the strict to measures put in place. lateral flow tests, facemasks inside public places, the vaccination programme, the fact people are still encouraged to work from home when they can hear in scotland, and she also mentioned ventilation and the fact that she is strongly encouraging businesses to put in stronger ventilation procedures in workplaces as well. all reasons, perhaps, that the covid numbers haven't increased as quickly as perhaps might have been frayed, going into winter but nonetheless they are increasing gradually. the scottish government is keeping a close eye on it and perhaps this vaccine passport scheme will be extended in the weeks ahead. thank ou, lorna extended in the weeks ahead. thank you, lorna gordon, _ extended in the weeks ahead. thank you, lorna gordon, are _ extended in the weeks ahead. thank you, lorna gordon, are scotland - you, lorna gordon, are scotland corresponded. there's been another rise in the number of people on company payrolls, despite the end of the government's furlough scheme. fears of a jump in redundancies have not materialised according to the latest figures, which show a surge of 160,000 people in payrolled employment between september and october, to a total of 29.3 million. butjob vacanices also hit a record high, raising some concerns about a shortage of workers, as our economics correspondent andy verity reports. more work to do, divided between fewer people to do it. in this reopened economy businesses like this family hotel group in sutton coldfield in the west midlands are now being held back because they can't recruit the staff they need to meet the demand from customers. this business it is around 20 staff members sought in an industry where vacancies are up by 80% compared with pre—pandemic levels. we have had a challenge with having enough hands to operate, so we are having to shut the restaurant at times. we are having to cut down on the size of the menu. because we don't have enough skills in the kitchen or enough hands in the kitchen. job vacancies are fit any record. —— have hit a new record. up by nearly 4000 compared with before the pandemic to nearly 1.2 million. the latest figures show there are 29.3 million staff on employers payroll is also more than before the pandemic started. the chancellor welcomed the figures. today's jobs figures of the first we have had since furlough ended and 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 stopped including i can announce today 100,000 young people who have started jobs through our kick—start scheme. with skill shortages and sharply higher pay in industries such as transport the workforce overall is smaller than it was, with about1 million more adults of working age classed as economically inactive, neither working nor available for work. there are some things in the data to date we have got to be concerned about. in the main that is because whilst is down employment is not rising by corresponding out but we are seeing instead are people just not being in the labour market at all, economic inactivity, we are seeing a real problem there and that will be the focus for the government. economists say the bank of england concern about the ending of the furlough scheme should now have eased. one of the reasons the bank of england gave for not raising rates last week was because of a market uncertainty surrounding the furlough and today's figures have provided some reassurance against that but on the other hand, today's figures show we haven't seen particularly strong wage growth, which would have justified raising rates to prevent a wage price spiral. average earnings rose by a.9% over the past year, a lot more than we used to be used to before the pandemic. but a lot of that is caused by distortions, for example because wages were artificially low last year. if you strip those out, the rise was only 3.4%. the strains in the economy aren't too few jobs available but too few workers to do them. in this reopened economy, skills shortages and a long wait to be served are becoming the new post—pandemic norm. andy verity, bbc news. joining me now is sacha lord, greater manchester's night time economy adviser. thank you for being with us this afternoon. first of all i want to get your response to this record high ofjob vacancies. how are you

then, that instance where they could not start it, open restaurants, that is happening in greater manchester and across the whole of the uk. let's not forget, in hospitality it has been a roller—coaster for the past 20 months, open, shot, open, shot, people have built up so much debt, borrowed money from friends and family, and now they have to repay back, and coming to christmas, it is the busy period when we are hoping to hear the tills ringing and in many cases that story is replicated. they cannot open. i know restaurants in manchester that are opening four days a week. this is the moment where we should be enjoying ourselves and we simply can't. there are some experts — ourselves and we simply can't. there are some experts who _ ourselves and we simply can't. there are

might just are some experts who say that it mightjust be that the effect of the furlough scheme ending take time to bed in and there might be people returning to the workforce in the coming weeks. are you feeling quite pessimistic about how the situation will develop in the coming weeks? i will develop in the coming weeks? i am. i would disagree with what those people say. i think there is a lack of confidence in the sector. and i get it. we were close to 18 months. people need to pay the bills, pay the rent, put food on the table so they chose to get otherjobs, whether it is in retail or working nine to fivejobs, whether it is in retail or working nine to five jobs, delivering boxes, whatever, so we have a realjob on our hands to encourage people back to the sector. and i think there

anyone who wants to pay i have gone. anyone who wants to pay minimum wage now you will not get the staff. in greater manchester we have set up the title could charter encouraging anyone to pay a a living wage. i also think in hospitality there are too many zero—hour contracts. imagine going to work and being told it is not busy enough, you have to go home after two hours. it is not right to stop you have to guarantee the hours. there are simple things as well like extending transport links for hospitality workers, so important, if you think about people who work 95, they have the luxury of being able to get a bus, train ortram the luxury of being able to get a bus, train or tram after work, but in many places across the uk, when staff finish at maybe three in the morning, they have to get a taxi. it is not viable. so looking at that. and bigger things around mental health within the industry as well, the night—time economy and hospitality. if you think about this time of year especially when we have shorter hours, shorter hours of daylight, people working until three in the morning, and by the time you get up for the next shift the next day you have not seen any daylight, so we have to be having those conversations, as well in the sector. . conversations, as well in the sector, ., , ., conversations, as well in the sector. ., , ., ., conversations, as well in the

more whole-cell approach that you're suggesting i approach that you're suggesting needs to be done to make a transformation in the long term, but in the short term, given that you are pessimistic about what is going to happen over the coming weeks, given that christmas is usually a busy time, that businesses rely on, what do you think the impact is going to be, as we approach the coming months, given that what you are saying something that will take are saying something that will take a lot longer to any effect 's i would say that it is going to take at least 18 months, two years, to get back to pre—pandemic staffing levels. it is not met to be pretty for hospitality over the next few months. i would say if anybody is watching this within government, the one thing the industry is asking for is, we know that there is a lack of staff. we know that. we know that the cost of supplies is rocketing. and bat moving from 5% to 12.5% last month, and they are looking at increasing it to 20% at the end of march and that could be the final nail in the coffin for many businesses. to go from 5%, to 20%, and a space of six months is too soon, too quick, and it will harm many businesses.—

responsible for the shooting of pc yvonne fletcher. in a civil case, salah ibrahim mabrouk was described as a "prime mover" in organising the murder. 25—year—old pc fletcher was killed outside the libyan embassy in1981t. the united states has condemned russia for what it calls a "dangerous and irresponsible" missile test in which the russians blew up one of their old spy satellites and created a cloud of debris in space. the us says the explosion endangered the crew aboard the international space station and forced them to take shelter in capsules. sean dilley has more. space. 260 miles above the earth's surface. for the few who are lucky enough to marvel at the universe through the windows of the national space station, hazardous debris, caused by an unexpected blast may be the last thing they would expect. over the weekend, seven crew members made up of four americans, a german and two russians were forced to shelter in protective space capsules as hundreds of chunks of debris came into close proximity. it is believed the russian federation fired a missile that blew up a cold war era satellite that had been floating above the earth for 39 years. the united states has condemned what they call a destructive satellite test. russia's dangerous and irresponsible behaviourjeopardises the long—term sustainability of our cover of space and clearly demonstrates that russia's claims of opposing the weaponisation of space are disingenuous. the us says it has tracked around 1,500 bits of debris with some estimates saying there could be hundreds of thousands floating in space. there has always been a concern that fast—moving fragments of any nature could destroy satellites or damage the international space station, but some say the russians have made that scenario more likely. it borders on terrorism to a certain extent, because you are just wantonly blowing something up, with the fragments going wherever they wish and it is a threat that will continue to bother people for years. every time you do this, it is a decade—long risk or longer. the russians played down the incident. roscosmos tweeted. .. though their social media post has done little to reassure the international defence community, with the country being roundly condemned for actions that could be felt for decades. sean dilley, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah. hello. it's another mild, mainly cloudy day out there today. some of us are seeing outbreaks of rain but other areas staing dry all day. this was the picture a little bit earlier on today in moray, eastern scotland. it was dry and cloudy but the rain has been sweeping through over the past hour or two. now, the next few days, still mainly mild and there will be a few more showers in the forecast but many places seeing a lot of dry weather because high pressure is really never far away. we have got this frontal system through the rest of the day which is pushing slowly southwards and eastwards. tending to fizzle out a little bit as it does so. it has brought some rain already to parts of scotland, and northern ireland, and in the middle part of the afternoon that band of rain will be sitting across northern england and north wales followed by clear skies and scattered blustery showers moving in from the north west where we could see gusts of wind close to 50 mph in the western isles for instance. further south and east across england and wales lighter winds here. mostly cloudy, could be the odd spot of drizzle, temperatures into the evening hours are still around about ten or 11 degrees and then we are just about falling into single figures further north. now, through this evening and overnight, then, this weather front tends to fizzle out. still quite a bit of cloud across england and wales but tending to dissipate through the early hours of wednesday morning. there will be more showers from the north west and it will be a little bit wintry over the highest ground of scotland. temperatures getting down, we could see a frost across the east of scotland, but for most of us mere single figures so a fresher start on wednesday but generally frost free. so into wednesday, then, we have a clearer air mass with us because this cold front will have cleared off towards the east so we are between weather systems on wednesday. a bit of a fresher start. there could be the odd mist and fog patch in the south—east but generally good visibility and quite a lot of sunshine on offer for wednesday. still quite a few showers moving into scotland, particularly in the north and west. one or two for northern ireland but england and wales predominantly seeing a dry day. top temperatures tomorrow perhaps down a touch in recent days but still about nine to 13 degrees, where cloud moves from the west and that's because this warm front pushes eastwards as we head into thursday. so this warm front is bringing that very mild air once again and the wind is coming from a south—westerly direction as we look towards friday and into saturday but notice the colour changing into sunday and a colder air mass on the way with some northerly winds. so the mid—teens for the next few days but things are looking colder by the time we get to sunday. this is bbc news, i'm luxmy gopal. the headlines: harrowing evidence to mps from former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq about how he was racially abused at the club. he said his treatment was inhuman and the sport was institutionally racist... the game as a whole really has a problem in listening to the victim and it has been yeah, but, yeah — there is no yeah, buts to racism, no two sides to a story when it comes to racism. police say it could be weeks before they fully understand why a suspected terrorist blew himself up in a taxi in liverpool. more people on company payrolls — new figures show the end of furlough didn't cause a spike in unemployment. the high court has ruled that a libyan man, saleh ibrahim mabrouk, was jointly responsible for the shooting of the policewoman yvonne fletcher in london in 1984. and why the crew of the international space station had to take cover when russia blew up one of its own satellites with a missile. the former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq has given harrowing evidence to mps about how he was bullied and racially abused the club. abused in the club. he says he and others of asian heritage were told to sit near the toilets with racial slurs used 'constantly�*. he was close to tears as he told the commons culture, media and sport committee that he felt isolated and humiliated, and that the club treated him in an 'inhuman' way. azeem rafiq said there's institutional racism across english cricket. a warning — this report from laura scott does contain some offensive language. azeem rafiq said today was the time for truths, as the focus of cricket's racism crisis moved from yorkshire to westminster, those truths from the man whose allegation set the scandal in motion proved uncomfortable. ijoined the dressing room, full of my heroes, michael vaughan, matthew hoggard, part of the 2005 ashes team and it was the most surreal moment for me, i entered that dressing room. pretty early on me and other people from asian backgrounds there were comments such as, you lot sit over there near the toilets, elephant washers. the word expletive constantly - and there seems to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no—one ever stamped it out. when i spoke i should have been listened to, but yorkshire county cricket club and the game as a whole has a problem in listening to the victim. it has been yeah, but, but there is no yeah, but to racism, no two sides to a story when it comes to racism. he said he was initially in denial about how he was treated but felt isolated and humiliated when he returned for a second spell at yorkshire. he spoke movingly about the response by people at the club after his son was stillborn. i'd just carried my son from the hospital to the graveyard and how i am getting treated here is not right. to me it became very clear even myself that i had been looking the other way, and there is a real problem here, not just at yorkshire, throughout the country, and i am going to be the one that is speaking about this. rafiq said there are three bits to the scandal, what happened during his career, the investigation into his allegations and what he considers to be the cover—up since. including what he called the staggering decision by yorkshire to take no disciplinary action when he was found to have been the victim of racial harassment and bullying. the arrogance of these people that they felt so untouchable, that little old azeem rafiq, no one will believe him. he criticised a number of his ex team—mates and said the former england player gary ballance had used derogatory nicknames to describe non—white players and said it was completely wrong for the former england and yorkshire captain michael vaughan to have used his platform as a national newspaper columnist to deny an allegation rafiq made that in 2009 he had told a group of asian players, too many of you lot, we need to do something about it. he also condemned the actions by organisations, describing the players union as inept and saying the england and wales cricket board had to stop palming the problem off. he said last winter he begged both bodies to intervene in yorkshire's investigation but neither did. during what at times was an emotional evidence session he said he wasn't sure if he was brave or stupid to stand up to the institution but said all he had ever wanted was acceptance, to make sure his kids didn't go through the same experiences and to give a voice to the voiceless.

help and shouting out, he needed supporting. when he was going through a very tragic time in his life, losing his son, he was stillborn and the response he received was even worse. the flashbacks for him, that he has suffered from the postnatal depression. i believe the board could have redeemed itself and supported him in a way because he was still doing his duty as a player and for someone being an england player it with have been a time for him to enjoy it and have his career flourished, and to know that he looked up to the role models in the changing room and everyone knocked his confidence down. it is a shame he had to turn away and i feel sorry for the part he mentioned about the future, for his own children. he would not want to encourage them to play sports, it is something you would not want to hear. if he has spoken up and done a really good job of setting that in stone and something is going to be done, he should take it in a positive light and change that. with my own experiences, yes, i had a time where i had to struggle but i tried my best to change it around because if i stay at the game and prove myself right, i have become a coach, i have set up teams and pathways for other people. i want to encourage that sport is not bad itself, probably just the environment that you are in, some boards will not be as supportive. but if you have the potential to perform and be good at what you want to do, you should not shy away from a sport you love. easy for me to say my experience was probably slightly different to his, but just such a probably slightly

swealmeen in flames, it appears none of the vehicles close by were damaged. ministers say it could be many weeks before police fully understand the circumstances around the attack. al swealmeen reportedly moved to the uk from the middle east, but had his asylum claim rejected. fiona trott reports from liverpool. a quiet sunday morning, a hospital where women and their babies were being cared for, then this. the passenger was killed. amazingly, the driver escaped the blaze, a fire so fierce and so dangerously close to the hospital itself. the passenger was 32—year—old emad al swealmeen. a refugee originally from the middle east, it is believed he converted to christianity. he may 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. and what do you remember of enzo7 well, wejust loved him. he was a lovely guy. were you shocked when you saw this today? very. this is the sefton park area. it's where al swealmeen was picked up by the taxi. significant items have been found here. police say they're also learning more about the parts used in the explosive device and how they were obtained. as this investigation continues, questions are now being asked about the changing nature of terrorism and what we can do to prevent it. it is certainly true that there's been a move over time from what we call directed attacks. so sometimes quite a complex organisation and a complex plot and move from that to self—directed terrorists, self—radicalised. how are you doing? 0n the streets of liverpool today, the chief constable was reassuring the residents. these families were forced out of their homes in the hours after the attack. people will see in liverpool and across merseyside over the forthcoming days and forthcoming weeks, they will see additional police officers. they will see additional pcsos. so that's absolutely about providing reassurance. this women's hospital, a happy place for so many new mothers, remains a crime scene today. people wonder if it was the intended target, the site of the first attack of its kind on their city. there was an organisation on twitter yesterday offering free counselling, the women's hospital offering counselling for the staff. we're doing the same within the organisation. and people experience shock in different ways, it might not be now, it might be next week or the week after, and they should seek help from the services available. david perry's family is still coming to terms with this. the taxi driver is lucky to be alive. his relatives say it was an utter miracle he escaped the blaze. as investigators work on the means and the method behind this, they're still keeping an open mind about the motive — that they say could take many weeks. fiona trott, bbc news, liverpool. the home office minister kit malthouse has been updating mps about the investigation. the explosion just before 11 on sunday was a shocking incident, my thoughts are with those affected, and the people of the city of my birth, liverpool. i would like to thank the emergency services and the police for their work on the investigation, which continues at pace. the house will understand i cannot comment on the details of this case as there is an ongoing live investigation and we are of course monitoring it closely. the police have stated the motivation for this incident is yet to be understood. however, this is a further stark reminder about the threat we all face from terrorism. 0ur world—class security and intelligence agencies and counterterror police work night and day to keep us safe. the joint terrorism analysis centre took the decision to raise the national threat level from substantial meaning a likely attack, to severe meaning an attack is highly likely. jtac which operates independently of ministers came to an agreed assessment. i would urge the public and media to avoid speculation at this stage. public safety is one of our chief priorities and we will continue working with the police alongside our world—class intelligence and security agencies to confront and combat the threat from terrorism. home office minister kitt malthouse. the headlines on bbc news: harrowing evidence to mps from former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq about how he was racially abused at the club. he said his treatment was inhuman and the sport was institutionally racist. police say it could be weeks before they fully understand why a suspected terrorist blew himself up in a taxi in liverpool. more people on company payrolls — new figures show the end of furlough didn't cause a spike in unemployment. in the past hour, mps have backed a 30 day suspension of 0wen paterson — whose wrongdoing as an mp triggered the ongoing debates around sleaze. it came after conservative mps were ordered to block the suspension of their former mp for north shropshire, for breaking lobbying rules. 0pposition parties reacted furiously, and mr paterson stepped down as an mp. labour leader secure stamper 7 sir keir starmer will be speaking at around 3:30pm, we will bring you that. a libyan man, said to be close to the country's former leader, colonel gaddafi, has been found jointly liable for the shooting of pc yvonne fletcher. 25—year—old pc fletcher was killed outside the libyan embassy in 1984. in a civil case, salah ibrahim mabrouk was described as a "prime mover" in organising the murder. mr mabrouk is in libya and did not defend the case, but denies any involvement in the murder. the case was brought byjohn murray — a former police colleague and friend of yvonne fletcher, who promised her as she was dying that he would find and bring those responsible to justice. the trial over the last few days should not have been necessary, if you go back six years ago to mabrouk�*s arrest, a report was submitted by the police to the cps recommending he be prosecuted. the cps agreed with that report, but due to late interference from the home office and the foreign office when they refused vital evidence to be used, the prosecution did not go ahead. the government's interference in the judicial process was disgraceful. we face many obstacles here today, but we have proven we were right all along. saleh ibrahim mabrouk was responsible for yvonne's murder. 0ur security correspondent gordon corera is here. remind us what led to this case. there was applause. it has taken 37 years to get to the point where someone has been held responsible for what happened to yvonne fletcher. ,, .

for those campaigning for pc yvonne fletcher it has been a milestone and a victory of sorts in this long battle forjustice. gordon, thank you. there's been another rise in the number of people on company payrolls, despite the end of the government's furlough scheme. fears of a jump in redundancies have not materialised according to the latest figures, which show a surge of 160,000 people in payrolled employment between september and october, to a total of 29.3 million. butjob vacanices also hit a record high, raising some concerns about a shortage of workers, as our economics correspondent andy verity reports. more work to do divided between fewer people to do it. in this reopened economy businesses like this from a hotel group in sutton coldfield in the west midlands are now being held back because they can't recruit the staff they need to meet the demand from customers. this business it is around 20 staff members sought in an industry where vacancies are up by 18% compared with pre—pandemic levels. we have had a challenge with having enough hands to operate, so we are having to shut the restaurant at times. we are having to cut down on the size of the menu. because we don't have enough skills in the kitchen or enough hands in the kitchen. job vacancies have hit a new record, up by nearly 4000 compared with before the pandemic to nearly 1.2 million. the latest figures show there are 29.3 million staff on employers payroll is also more than before the pandemic started. the chancellor welcomed the figures. to date jobs figures of the first we have had since pirlo ended today's jobs figures of the first we have had since furlough ended and 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 stopped including i can announce today 100,000 young people who have started jobs through our kick—start scheme. with skill shortages and sharply higher pay in industries such as transport the workforce overall is smaller than it was, with about1 million more adults of working age classed as economically inactive, neither working nor available for work. there are some things in the data to date we have got to be concerned about. in the main that is because whilst is down employment is not rising by a corresponding amount but we are seeing instead are people just not being in the labour market at all, economic inactivity, we are seeing a real problem there and that will be the focus for the government. economists say the bank of england concern about the ending of the furlough scheme should now have eased. one of the reasons the bank of england gave for not raising rates last week was because of a market uncertainty surrounding the furlough and today's figures has provided some reassurance against that but on the other hand, today's figures show we haven't seen particularly strong wage growth, which would have justified raising rates to prevent a wage—price spiral. average earnings rose by 4.9% over the past year, a lot more than we used to be used to before the pandemic. but a lot of that is caused by distortions, for example because wages were artificially low last year. if you strip those out, the rise was only 3.4%. the strains in the economy are not too few jobs available but too few workers to do them. in this reopened economy, skills shortages and a long wait to be served are becoming the new post—pandemic norm. andy verity, bbc news. members of an online movement infected with pandemic conspiracies are shifting their focus — and are increasingly peddling falsehoods about climate change. 0ur specialist disinformation reporter marianna spring has been investigating for the denial files podcast series... who have you been interviewing7 what i started to notice that in particularly the covid conspiracy movement groups were people talking about climate change, a message one, about climate change, a message one, a guy called matthew who lives in new zealand, is from the uk but has lived in the new zealand for 20 years, they had strict markdowns, he turned to social media because he felt frustrated about the government's response to the pandemic, leading him to groups promoting really extreme conspiracies, notjust about promoting really extreme conspiracies, not just about the pandemic vaccines but now about climate change, the idea it is a hoax or as he posted part of alarmist propaganda, whether that is the pandemic or climate change he believes it is being used to control our lives. hejoined one telegram channel in particular, the white rose, you can stick around your neighbourhood stickers, with a qr code within you to these groups, how he joined them code within you to these groups, how hejoined them in code within you to these groups, how he joined them in the first place. for him this has become very much a part of his life, notjust in new zealand but we are seeing these kinds of narratives about climate change playing out elsewhere, i spoke to a nurse in northern ireland, her girlfriend became involved in the white rose group, posting stickers. and now believes climate change is a hoax and is part of a sinister plot to control us. how does that shape their lives, what effect does it have? it how does that shape their lives, what

sunshine here and there, over the next few days the theme continues, things looking mild for this time of year, some showers in the forecast but lots of dry weather too. central and eastern parts of england and wales should stay dry for the rest of the day, some spots of drizzle mixing, 10—11 by six o'clock this evening, clear spells and scattered showers working in from the north—west, some wintry over the highest ground of scotland. the rain across england and wales petering out overnight, becoming dry here to start wednesday, largely frost free, touch of frost for east of scotland where temperatures will be close to or even below freezing. tomorrow more sunshine than recent days, plenty of blustery showers moving in across western scotland, northern ireland, further south and east many places dry through the day, longer spells of sunshine and top temperatures tomorrow around 9—13. hello this is bbc news with luxmy gopal. the headlines... harrowing evidence to mps from former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq about how he was racially abused at the club. he said his treatment was inhuman and the sport was institutionally racist: police say it could be weeks before they fully understand why a suspected terrorist blew himself up in a taxi in liverpool. more people on company payrolls: new figures show the end of furlough didn't cause a spike in unemployment. the high court has ruled that a libyan man, saleh ibrahim mabrouk, wasjointly responsible for the shooting of the policewoman yvonne fletcher in london in 1984. and why the crew of the international space station had to take cover when russia blew up one of its own satellites with a missile. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jane. england manager gareth southgate says it's a case of when — not if — harry kane will break the all time england goal scoring record. the tottenham striker scored four as england qualified for the world cup in qatar with a 10—0 win against the world's lowest ranked team, san marino. it was his fifth international hatrick and puts him level with gary lineker in the all—time england goalscoring chart, on 48 goals. he's just five short of wayne rooney's record of 53. 0n the other three games of this nature in this group... 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... as you say, 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. cutting away from the sport now to deputy labour leader angela rayner who is holding a news conference on improving parliamentary standards. we understand that it is just ahead of keir starmer, the labour leader speaking. that is the deputy labour leader but we understand that sir keir starmer is going to be speaking. we willjust listen in to angela rayner in the meantime. you know this is — angela rayner in the meantime. m. know this is not about any one mp. it is about a prime minister who will not deal with this corruption scandal because he is up to his neck in it. the difference between the prime minister and keir starmer could not be clearer. 0n the one hand we have borisjohnson. he has been investigated for breaking the rules in every role he has ever been elected to. he has already broken parliamentary rules twice over his own financial affairs, so he tried to change the rules. and while we wait for the outcome of the electoral commission's investigation into whether any laws were broken when the prime minister did some dodgy deals to get a conservative donor to pay for his flat to be done up, he is trying to put conservative ministers in charge of the independent electoral commission. now, compare that to keir�*s record. after the expenses scandal, keir prosecuted mps for breaking the rules and put them behind bars. keir has dedicated his life to public service, prosecuting rapists, murderers and terrace before becoming an mp and serving his community. the prime minister has shown that he will only ever act in his own self interest, and never in the public interest. so, it will be a labour government led by keir, as your prime minister, and me as your deputy prime minister, that will stamp out conservative corruption from our democracy and our public office. and now i have a great pleasure, and i'm delighted, to be able to introduce keir starmer, our next prime minister, to set out how the next labour government will restore the values of integrity, decency and honesty to our politics. keir. ., ~ ., keir. thanks, angela. good afternoon. _ keir. thanks, angela. good afternoon, everybody. i keir.

has been listening. we just heard that part of the labour proposals also seem to be endorsed, getting the stamp approves —— stamp of approval by the prime minister to put out his also calling for mps to be banned from being paid political consultants.— from being paid political consultants. ~ , ., , consultants. the prime minister has tried to steal _ consultants. the prime minister has tried to steal some _ consultants. the prime minister has tried to steal some of— consultants. the prime minister has tried to steal some of sir— consultants. the prime minister has tried to steal some of sir keir- tried to steal some of sir keir starmer�*s thunder, by publishing a tweet with a letter to the speaker just as keir starmer was getting to his feet. the main thing is that the prime minister and therefore the government are now suggesting should happen are an update to the code of conduct for mps, making sure that mps prioritise their constituents, over any outside interests, and if not they should be investigated and appropriately punished, and crucially as you say, mps should be banned from acting as paid consultants or lobbyists. that is a fairly significant announcement from the prime minister. it is something that some in the conservative party, particularly some newer mps, have been calling for. it is something he has been getting pressure from opposition parties to do as well. the prime minister waited until the labor leader was about to get to his feet to make that announcement. i suspect in no small part to take away from what keir starmer was saying, but it could lead to a significant change to the rules in parliament, because the government is now backing a fairly significant change to the rules that mps are governed by, making sure that paid political lobbyists are not mps as well. i am not sure that it goes quite as far as labour have been calling for. you heard sir keir starmer at the start of that speech talking about banning almost all second jobs, with very few exceptions. this proposalfrom the prime minister doesn't necessarily go that far. but, after a couple of weeks of torrid headlines for the government, of borisjohnson really struggling to get a lid on these sleaze allegations, i think it is an attempt by the government to try and get back on the front foot and say, look, here is something that we think that parliament can agree on, that would be agreed, cross—party, that would be agreed, cross—party, that would be agreed, cross—party, that would start to end some of the more questionable practices in parliament. more questionable practices in parliament-— more questionable practices in parliament. ., , a parliament. one of the things, nick, that the prime _ parliament. one of the things, nick, that the prime minister _ parliament. one of the things, nick, that the prime minister put - parliament. one of the things, nick, that the prime minister put out i parliament. one of the things, nick, that the prime minister put out in i that the prime minister put out in his tweet outlining his proposals, he said mps who are prioritising outside interests over their constituents should be investigated and appropriately punished. but again, it is a question of debate, because how can you measure how much they are prioritising outside interests over their constituents? that is the big question. the reason we are having this conversation is in no small part because of the example of geoffrey cox, the former attorney general, the conservative mp who is a lawyer who earns a lot of money as a lawyer. he spent 1000 hours in a year working in what was apparently a second job as a lawyer but not spending much time in parliament at the same time. clearly, this has become quite a difficult issue for the government. this story has progressed from being one about the actions of owen paterson, one conservative mp, to being about the broader question of second jobs for mps. so, that letter talks about second jobs not preventing the full carrying out of mps' duties. and that is open to interpretation. what exactly does that mean? that is a question that will be asked in the coming hours. i suspect it is a question the labour party will focus on as well because over the last few days they have been talking about going further than the government is proposing at the moment. but, the fact that the government is even considering what that should look like, and what the balance between second jobs and your job as an mp looks like shows how uncomfortable this has become for borisjohnson and his ministers, and the fact that paid consultancy, political consultancy, is something the government is now actively looking to have banned in the houses of parliament, the house of commons rather, is really significant, and it will be really interesting to see what the reaction to that is, because although there are a number of newer mps in particular on the tory benches who have been really worried about these sleaze allegations of the last couple of weeks, there are a number of mps, tory mps who are political consultants, and it will be interesting to see how they react to that. the letter has just dropped, haven't had a chance to phone anyone yet, but we will bring that reaction to you as soon as we get it. interesting ramifications from this and we will bring that to you. the united states has condemned russia for what it calls a "dangerous and irresponsible" missile test in which the russians blew up one of their old spy satellites and created a cloud of debris in space. the us says the explosion endangered the crew aboard the international space station and forced them to take shelter in capsules. sean dilley has more. space. 260 miles above the earth's surface. for the few who are lucky enough to marvel at the universe through the windows of the national space station, hazardous debris, caused by an unexpected blast may be the last thing they would expect. over the weekend, seven crew members made up of four americans, a german and two russians were forced to shelter in protective space capsules as hundreds of chunks of debris came into close proximity. it is believed the russian federation fired a missile that blew up a cold war era satellite that had been floating above the earth for 39 years. the united states has condemned what they call a destructive satellite test. russia's dangerous and irresponsible behaviourjeopardises the long—term sustainability of our part of space and clearly demonstrates that russia's claims of opposing the weaponisation of space are disingenuous. the us says it has tracked around 1,500 bits of debris with some estimates saying there could be hundreds of thousands floating in space. there has always been a concern that fast—moving fragments of any nature could destroy satellites or damage the international space station, but some say the russians have made that scenario more likely. it borders on terrorism to a certain extent, because you are just wantonly blowing something up, with the fragments going wherever they wish and it is a threat that will continue to bother people for years. every time you do this, it is a decade—long risk or longer. the russians played down the incident. roscosmos tweeted. .. though their social media post has done little to reassure the international defence community, with the country being roundly condemned for actions that could be felt for decades. sean dilley, bbc news. the weather with terror. this was in mori, eastern _ the weather with terror.

scotland, where the rain has been sweeping through over the past hour. it was dry and cloudy but the rain has been sweeping through over the past hour or two. now, the next few days, still mainly mild and there will be a few more showers in the forecast but many places seeing a lot of dry weather because high pressure is really never far away. we have got this frontal system through the rest of the day which is pushing slowly southwards and eastwards. tending to fizzle out a little bit as it does so. it has brought some rain already to parts of scotland, and northern ireland, and in the middle part of the afternoon that band of rain will be sitting across northern england and north wales followed by clear skies and scattered blustery showers moving in from the north west where we could see gusts of wind close to 50 mph in the western isles. further south and east across england and wales lighter winds. mostly cloudy, could be the odd spot of drizzle, temperatures into the evening hours are still around about ten or 11 and then we are just about falling into single figures further north. now, through this evening and overnight, then, this weather front tends to fizzle out. still quite a bit of cloud across england and wales but tending to dissipate through the early hours of wednesday morning. there will be more showers from the north west and it will be a little bit wintry over the highest ground of scotland. temperatures getting down, we could see a frost across the east of scotland, but for most mere single figures so a fresher start on wednesday but generally frost free. so into wednesday, a clearer air mass because this cold front will have cleared off towards the east so we are between weather systems on wednesday. a bit of a fresher start. there could be the odd mist and fog patch in the south—east but generally good visibility and quite a lot of sunshine for wednesday. still quite a few showers moving into scotland, particularly in the north and west. one or two for northern ireland but england and wales seeing a dry day. top temperatures tomorrow perhaps down a touch in recent days but still about nine to 13 degrees, where cloud moves from the west and that's because this warm front pushes eastwards as we head into thursday. so this warm front is bringing that very mild air and the wind is coming from a south—westerly direction as we look towards friday and into saturday but notice the colour changing into sunday and a colder air mass on the way with some northerly winds. so the mid—teens for the next few days but things are looking colder by the time we get to sunday. this is bbc news. the headlines... borisjohnson has backed labour's call to ban mps from acting as paid political consultants or lobbyists — as he tries to stem a sleaze row. harrowing evidence to mps from former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq about how he was racially abused at the club. he said his treatment was inhuman and the sport was institutionally racist. the game as a hall really has a problem and listening to the victim, and it's like saying yeah, but... but there is no yeah, but to racism, there is no two sides of the story when it comes to racism. police say it could be weeks before they fully understand why a suspected terrorist blew himself up in a taxi in liverpool. the high court has ruled that a libyan man, saleh ibrahim mabrouk, was jointly responsible for the shooting of the policewoman yvonne fletcher in london in 1984. and, why the crew of the international space station had to take cover when russia blew up one of its own satellites with a missile. borisjohnson has proposed banning mps from acting as paid political consultants or lobbyists, in response to the sleaze row that saw the resignation of the conservative mp owen patterson. the government was severely criticised for initially trying to protect mr patterson, who broke lobbying rules. let's talk to our political correspondent nick eardley. interesting

leader, circular star merit getting to is he to make his own statement about sleaze, to publish the government's plans to trying to get on top of the issue that's been dominating westminster. —— the labour leader, kier stamer. the government has so far really struggled to get a lead on this issue. and i think what boris johnson is trying to do is to set out a plan he hopes will persuade the public that he is taking this seriously. so he wants the code of conduct for mps to be strengthened. as part of that, there would be measures for mps, if they have second jobs, are prioritising their constituency work and that another job doesn't stop them doing their job doesn't stop them doing their job as an mp, but perhaps most significantly, the prime minister now backs that position of banning paid political consultancy. now, that could have quite a significant impact on a number of mps from his own party. there are a number of conservative mps that act as political lobbyists and in some form or another. at the government has clearly got to a place where it's fear is that the integrity of parliament has been undermined by what has gone on over the past fortnight, and it feels it's time to act. now, the small print of this would be really important. we have a broad letter from the would be really important. we have a broad letterfrom the prime minister setting out what he wants and i suspect there will be many in parliament, mps and opposition, figures as well who want to see exactly what the details are. and at the moment, doesn't seem that it goes as far as what labour are calling for. we have heard the labour leader, kier stamer, saying that he wants all second jobs for mps with a small number of exceptions largely based in the public sector, he wants that band to be brought in as soon as possible. have a listen to the labour leader speaking this afternoon. currently, the prime minister has just written to the speaker saying that mps shouldn't be... so

parties see this as enough to sway some of the concerns that they have and whether there is now a cross party agreement on the way forward. i think what we can see sleepily now is that there is going

yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq has given harrowing evidence to mp5 about how he was bullied and racially abused the club. he says he and others of asian heritage were told to sit near the toilets with racial slurs used "constantly". he was close to tears as he told the commons culture, media and sport committee that he felt isolated and humiliated, and that the club treated him in an 'inhuman' way. azeem rafiq said there's institutional racism across english cricket. a warning — this report from laura scott does contain some offensive language. azeem rafiq said today was the time for truths, as the focus of cricket's racism crisis moved from yorkshire to westminster, those truths from the man whose allegation set the scandal in motion proved uncomfortable. ijoined the dressing room, full of my heroes, michael vaughan, matthew hoggard, part of the 2005 ashes team and it was the most surreal moment for me, i entered that dressing room. pretty early on me and other people from asian backgrounds there were comments such as, you lot sit over there near the toilets, elephant washers. the word expletive constantly - and there seems to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no—one ever stamped it out. when i spoke i should have been listened to, but yorkshire county cricket club and the game as a whole has a problem in listening to the victim. it has been yeah, but, but there is no yeah, but to racism, no two sides to a story when it comes to racism. he said he was initially in denial about how he was treated but felt isolated and humiliated when he returned for a second spell at yorkshire. he spoke movingly about the response by people at the club after his son was stillborn. i'd just carried my son from the hospital to the graveyard and how i am getting treated here is not right. to me it became very clear even myself that i had been looking the other way, and there is a real problem here, notjust at yorkshire, throughout the country, and i am going to be the one that is speaking about this. rafiq said there are three bits to the scandal, what happened during his career, the investigation into his allegations and what he considers to be the cover—up since. including what he called the staggering decision by yorkshire to take no disciplinary action when he was found to have been the victim of racial harassment and bullying. the arrogance of these people that they felt so untouchable, that little old azeem rafiq, no—one will believe him. he criticised a number of his ex team—mates and said the former england player gary ballance had used derogatory nicknames to describe non—white players and said it was completely wrong for the former england and yorkshire captain michael vaughan to have used his platform as a national newspaper columnist to deny an allegation rafiq made that in 2009 he had told a group of asian players, too many of you lot, we need to do something about it. he also condemned the actions by organisations, describing the players union as inept and saying the england and wales cricket board had to stop palming the problem off. he said last winter he begged both bodies to intervene in yorkshire's investigation but neither did. during what at times was an emotional evidence session he said he wasn't sure if he was brave or stupid to stand up to the institution but said all he had ever wanted was acceptance, to make sure his kids didn't go through the same experiences and to give a voice to the voiceless. that was laura scott reporting. i'm nowjoined byjabeer but, the ceo of the race equality foundation. thank you so much forjoining us. i went to get your reaction for to how the events of the yorkshire cricket club unfolded. what is your reaction to how they handled mr

to the things that he has gone through. perhaps equally shocking and perhaps even more shocking has been the response of yorkshire county cricket club, as well as the establishment as a whole to his complaints, rather than investigating them and addressing those complaints, they are instead trying to brush them aside and label them as they enter, and the consequence of this has been made and

just about to firstly, we need to be clear that this isn'tjust about to particular individuals behaving badly or poorly, although that needs to be taken up as well, and it is shocking that nobody has been disciplined, and it is shocking that the president doesn't seem to take any action against anyone. sol president doesn't seem to take any action against anyone. so i think that needs to be addressed. but we also need to address the system that allowed these things to happen, happening in a way that everybody saw every day, and as mr rafiq has pointed out, it really is very difficult for people to call it out, particularly as a youngster, particularly as a youngster, particularly as a youngster, particularly as the people who you are going to call out are the ones who are going to judge your future career. and at the system doesn't change, if it isn't the cricket clubs as well as the english ecb, we are not going to see that change takes place in a way that is going to encourage people to play cricket. so how do we change the system then? who should be held responsible for making that systemic change? weill. making that systemic change? well, one of the things _

is pretty futile, as chairman of the yorkshire county cricket club, we have seen that an acceptance of the leadership needs to change. i don't want to put all the responsibly on his shoulders, but it does indicate to me that there is some acceptance of that leadership and showing leadership is in part. actually, organisations need to carry out a root and branch review of the actions that they are taking and how they are going to ensure that those are measured and actually demonstrate change, that includes day ecb and appears to includes day ecb and appears to include the cricketer who plays

from acting as paid political consultants or lobbyists — as he tries to stem a sleaze row. harrowing evidence to mp5 from former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq about how he was racially abused at the club. he said his treatment was inhuman and the sport was institutionally racist. police say it could be weeks before they fully understand why a suspected terrorist blew himself up in a taxi in liverpool. the bbc understands police are examining whether the main charge on the device at the women's hospital in liverpool failed to explode. although footage shows the taxi carrying emad al swealmeen in flames, it appears none of the vehicles close by were damaged. ministers say it could be many weeks before police fully understand the circumstances around the attack. al swealmeen reportedly moved to the uk from the middle east, but had his asylum claim rejected. fiona trott reports from liverpool. a quiet sunday morning, a hospital where women and their babies were being cared for, then this. the passenger was killed. amazingly, the driver escaped the blaze, a fire so fierce and so dangerously close to the hospital itself. the passenger was 32—year—old emad al swealmeen. a refugee originally from the middle east, it is believed he converted to christianity. he may 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. this is the sefton park area. it's where al swealmeen was picked up by the taxi. significant items have been found here. police say they're also learning more about the parts used in the explosive device and how they were obtained. as this investigation continues, questions are now being asked about the changing nature of terrorism and what we can do to prevent it. it is certainly true that there's been a move over time from what we call directed attacks. 50 sometimes quite a complex organisation and a complex plot and move from that to self—directed terrorists, self—radicalised. how are you doing? on the streets of liverpool today, the chief constable was reassuring the residents. these families were forced out of their homes in the hours after the attack. people will see in liverpool and across merseyside over the forthcoming days and forthcoming weeks, they will see additional police officers. they will see additional pcsos. so that's absolutely about providing reassurance. this women's hospital, a happy place for so many new mothers, remains a crime scene today. people wonder if it was the intended target, the site of the first attack of its kind on their city. there was an organisation on twitter yesterday offering free counselling, the women's hospital offering counselling for the staff. we're doing the same within the organisation. and people experience shock in different ways, it might not be now, it might be next week or the week after, and they should seek help from the services available. david perry's family is still coming to terms with this. the taxi driver is lucky to be alive. his relatives say it was an utter miracle he escaped the blaze. as investigators work on the means and the method behind this, they're still keeping an open mind about the motive — that they say could take many weeks. fiona trott, bbc news, liverpool. the home office minister kit malthouse has been updating mps about the investigation. the explosion just before 11 on sunday was a shocking incident, my thoughts are with those affected, and the people of the city of my birth, liverpool. i would like to thank the emergency services and the police for their work on the investigation, which continues at pace. the house will understand i cannot comment on the details of this case as there is an ongoing live investigation and we are monitoring it closely. the police have stated the motivation for this incident is yet to be understood. however, this is a further stark reminder about the threat we all face from terrorism. our world—class security and intelligence agencies and counterterror police work night and day to keep us safe. the joint terrorism analysis centre took the decision to raise the national threat level from substantial meaning a likely attack, to severe meaning an attack is highly likely. a report was submitted by the police to the cps recommending he be prosecuted. the cps agreed with that report, but due to late interference from the home office and the foreign office when they refused vital evidence to be used, the prosecution did not go ahead. the government's interference in the judicial process was disgraceful. we face many obstacles here today, but we have proven we were right all along. saleh ibrahim mabrouk was responsible for yvonne's murder. our correspondent gordon corera gave me the background. it was very emotional and quiet, wise in the high court this morning, there was spontaneous applies in that verdict came from a quarter impacted police officers, and that's because it's taken 37 years for those former police officers largely to get to this point where someone is being held responsible for what happened to ivonne fletcher. it was 1984, she was policing a demonstration outside the libyan embassy, renamed the libyan peoples barrel in central london when gun fire from submachine guns came out from inside the building at protesters outside, but the only person who was killed was the 25—year—old pc, ivonne fletcher. and it's been this long battle to bring anyone to justice for that. there was a clever case against the perpetrator in 2015, he was arrested by living in the uk, but was dropped on grounds of national security. which then led to the civil case. —— yvonne fletcher. very unusualfor a civil case to be brought byjohn mary, as we had come against this individual coming back in the didn't contest the case but was found responsible for organising, not being the shooter, but being a prime mover, thejudge said, in organising that shooting which killed the police officer.— police officer. legally, how ossible police officer. legally, how possible is— police officer. legally, how possible is it _ police officer. legally, how possible is it to _

case, john mary had only asked for e1 in damages, but what he really wanted was the statement that the perpetrator was responsible. he has got that, but he would still like to see him in court in britain. now, the chances of him coming here seem pretty low, but also, whatjohn murray would like as for the crown prosecution service to take up this case again and to see if they could bring another case against him and perhaps extradite him from libya. that may seem a distant prospect, but at least today, i think, for those campaigning for a pc yvonne fletcher, it's been a milestone and a victory of sites in this long battle for justice. a victory of sites in this long battle forjustice.— a victory of sites in this long battle forjustice. our security correspondent, _ battle forjustice. our security correspondent, mr _ battle forjustice. our security correspondent, mr carrera. i a second woman has come forward with allegations that the prime minister's father, stanleyjohnson, touched her inappropriately. al—va rea — a journalist at the new statesman — said she was groped at a conservative conference two years ago. mrjohnson is yet to comment on the claim. last night, the tory mp, caroline nokes, alleged on sky news that she'd been touched inappropriately in 2003. mrjohnson told the broadcaster he had "no recollection" of her. the national health service is facing the most difficult winter in its history, according to nhs providers, which represents trusts in england. it says hospitals are already "beyond full stretch", dealing with pressures such as growing waiting lists, increased demand for emergency care, and staff shortages. our health editor hugh pym has this report. so we've got no beds on trauma, no medical beds, no surgical beds. the morning huddle in the emergency department. how many patients are in the department currently waiting for beds? every week seems to be more hectic than the last one. at the moment we've got about eight patients waiting for admission. with record numbers of patients. my concern is not only that we have high levels of bed waits, waits to be seen, the risk of clinical incidents goes up by the day, but my bigger concern is that i'm not sure what we can do about it. the ambulances keep on coming, but beds are hard to find because patients in the hospital are staying longer. so what do doctors think is happening? they say it's notjust covid. there are a lot of other health problems. just generally unwell patients in the community. we've got a population that is getting older. they're getting frail. also finding is that trend as more people are getting older, more people are needing much more input and they are needing more acutely. covid hasn't gone away. infection control measures are still needed. that restricts the number of beds for those with other conditions. this ward is where the uk's first covid patients were treated early last year. few would have imagined then that nearly two years on, covid patients would still need to be cared for in hospitals like this one. numbers aren't nearly as high as injanuary, but everyone needs dedicated specialist care. it was tough, very tough. tariq has been seriously ill with covid. he is emotional as he pays tribute to the nurses. beautiful angels, beautiful. so kind. jade, who's the senior sister on this ward, says the stress of the pandemic is beginning to tell. i'd be lying if i said that it hadn't affected me mentally. i think everyone is tired, everyone's lethargic and everyone, it's difficult, because i don't think anybody can see an end to this. away from the main hospital, a specially created new unit pushes on with routine operations. here they're doing eye surgery. so you make a hole in the bag where the cataract sits... linda's having a cataract removed. she's in and out within an hour. they're tackling the backlog of operations, but pressures across the hospital are resulting in cancellations of some other procedures. the chief executive summed up the current mood. i think it feels like the perfect storm, it's really pressured. and i don't think we can underplay that. but the reality is, you know, the nhs does brilliantly, what we're doing now, which is just continue to respond. it can't go on long term. winter isn't even here yet, but the staff's concern is already obvious. they're braced for some testing months, knowing the strain will get even more intense. hugh pym, bbc news, newcastle. the scottish government is to consider expanding its coronavirus vaccine passport scheme to pubs, cinemas, theatres and other hospitality venues from the sixth of december. vaccine passports already apply to nightclubs, adult entertainment venues, and some unseated indoor and outdoor events. first minister nicola sturgeon said that a final decision will be made next tuesday. now it's time for a look at the weather. sarah, it has been oddly mild and a beautiful day, hasn't it? a beautiful day, hasn't it? a beautiful day, hasn't it? a beautiful day if you are a fan of the cloud, but a bit of blue sky breaking through that cloud and it has certainly been mild, temperatures in fact have been about 3-4 temperatures in fact have been about 3—4 above average. 50 a bit spoiled in november so far, very mild. it is going to get colder as we had to the second half of this month, but for the here and now, while we are expecting a mild theme to continue, there will be a few showers dotted around two this evening and overnight, they are piling and across scotland and northern ireland as well. how to enter is a clear way from england and wales overnight, so it will be a colder night than we have seen recently. most of us and need single figures. a touch of frost, one or two spots to the east of scotland, for example to start off your wednesday morning. 50 tomorrow brings a day of sunshine and showers. most of the showers tomorrow will be across the west of scotland, a few for northern ireland and perhaps one or two into northwest england. further south and east, dry, more sunshine tomorrow than we have seen today and temperatures between about 9—13 celsius, and it remains mild through into thursday as well, turning colder by around about sunday. hello, this is bbc news with luxmy gopal. the headlines... borisjohnson has backed labour's call to

workers are being exploited as they help to build stadiums and infrastructure for the winter tournament, despite a series of labour reforms in 2017. qatar's government has rejected amnesty�*s claims and says the reforms have made life better for hundreds of thousands of migrant workers. arsenal midfielderjordan nobbs has been recalled to the england squad for the lionesses�* world cup qualifiers later this month, after being out with an ankle ligament injury. however, her arsenal teammate leah williamson has picked up a significant hamstring problem, which may leave her out of action for the rest of the year. williamson came off during the north london derby draw with tottenham at the weekend. the defender has captained england in every game under new head coach sarina wiegman, but has been left out of her 23 player squad announcement for their matches against austria and latvia this month. arsenal bossjonas eidevall said they have no timescale on williamson s injury, but that she may not return this whole year . chelsea striker sam kerr has extended her contract at the club for another two years, the club has confirmed. australian, sam kerrjoined in 2019 and won the league with them last season. she's scored 39 goals in 47 appearances. kerr said, "i think the club gives me every opportunity to succeed as a player. "i can t see myself going anywhere else in the world or leaving europe, having what i have at chelsea." freddie steward has described scoring his first try for england as "easily the best moment of his life". it came against australia at twickenham last saturday and now the 20—year—old leicester full—back says — after watching world champions south arica in the world cup final — he's thrilled to have been selected to play against them this weekend. if you told me when i was watching that game that the next time england played south africa i would be involved i would have laughed at you. it has been an incredible two years, a lot of hard work, but for it to happen so quickly has been amazing. it has not been easy, but it has been a fantastic experience, and i am just grateful for the opportunity to represent england. some breaking news in the last half—an—hour. mercedes have asked for a review of the decision not to penalise red bull's max verstappen forforcing lewis hamilton wide in the sao paulo grand prix last weekend. the incident on lap 48 was "noted" by the stewards but no investigation was carried out. mercedes have lodged a "right of review" after new evidence emerged — believed to be on—board camera footage. the incident happened as hamilton was trying to pass his title rival for the lead — he went on to win the race, cutting the dutchman's lead to 14 points with three races to go. england, scotland and ireland will co—host the t20 world cup in 2030, the icc confirmed earlier today. the event will be the first time since 1999 that scotland and ireland have hosted games in a major cricket event. details of the schedule and host venues are still to be finalised. other notable events announced include pakistan hosting the 2025 champions trophy. that's all the sport for now. there are more details on the bbc sport website. i have some breaking news to bring you. university staff will strike for three days from 1—3 december, at 58 universities, over pensions, pay and working conditions. the decision to strike has been described by universities uk as "disappointing". the university and college union said more industrial action is likely next term if its demands are not met. we will have more on that as we get it. polish authorities have fired tear gas and water canon on migrants massed on the border with belarus — in the latest escalation of the crisis. thousands of people are stranded on the poland—belarus border, in makeshift camps in freezing temperatures. the clashes came after group of migrants tried to break down a fence, and threw stones. poland 5 border guard agency said belarusian border guards — dressed in civilian clothes, were taking part in the attack. the eu agreed further sanctions against belarus on monday which it's accused of luring thousands of migrants to the country. president lukashenko has now said belarus wants to avoid confrontation. our correspondent steve rosenberg is on the belarus border. these are police water cannon. they are being deployed here on the border. on the belarus side, migrants started throwing rocks and bricks and branches towards the police forces. as you can see, it is a scene of chaos which is continuing. and it feels very much like a preplanned provocation, it is quite likely, pepper spray has been deployed, too. it feels like a provocation. it seems like a decision has been taken on the side of the border to exact a response from over there from poland, from the eu. you can see more water cannon being used. cones being thrown, more rocks going in. in many ways, this picture that we are seeing, this image, is very much the picture that alexander lukashenko wants to transmit to the world. belarus has been trying to portray europe as uncaring and in compassionate, inhuman, even, and there had been rumours that these kind of scenes could develop here, and certainly belarus will use it to portray that image of europe to the world. the russian defence minister says the debris formed after a russian anti missile test does not pose any expert first —— any threat to space activities. the us has condemned russia for conducting a "dangerous and irresponsible" missile test that it says endangered the crew aboard the international space station. the crew were forced to shelter in capsules after russia blew up one of its own satellites, creating more than 1,500 pieces of space debris. courtney bembridge has more. an explosion more than 400 kilometres above the earth has caused a reaction below. during a missile test, russia blew up one of its old spy satellites, which was launched in the 19805 and stopped working years ago. nearby, at the international space station, the crew had to shelter from the debris. the united states has condemned russia and says its actions threatened the interests of all nations. russia's dangerous and irresponsible behaviour jeopardises the long—term sustainability of our outer space and clearly demonstrates that russia's claims of opposing weaponisation of space are disingenuous and hypocritical. the international space station currently has two russians on board as well as a german and four americans, seen here being welcomed onto the 155 last week. the russian space agency roscosmos has downplayed the incident, tweeting that the "object has moved away from the iss orbit. the station is in the green zone." but the explosion generated more than 1500 pieces of debris big enough to track, as well as hundreds of thousands of smaller pieces. american space experts say russia's decision is baffling and dangerous. it borders on terrorism to a certain extent because you are just wantonly blowing something up and the fragments going wherever they wish and it's a threat that will continue to bother people for years. every time you do this, it's a decade—long risk or longer. it's estimated there are a million pieces of space junk bigger than a centimetre but even tiny fragments moving that quickly could puncture the walls of the 155 or destroy other vital weather and communications satellites. courtney bembridge, bbc news. joining me now is professor malcolm macdonald, from the university of strathclyde and is a professional space technology engineer. thank you so much forjoining us. we heard some strong words, that this borders on terrorism. how severe is the impact on the

we have to bear in mind that when the _ in space? we have to bear in mind that when the americans - in space? we have to bear in mind that when the americans did - in space? we have to bear in mind that when the americans did it - in space? we have to bear in mind that when the americans did it the russians and chinese condemned it, and so on, it is a shockingly bad thing to do. it doesn't make any sense. and it did endanger the life of the people in the space station. and the impact will go on for years. and the impact will go on for years. and this has made the news because of the impact on the space station, and the uncertainty of where the debris has gone. we have heard about the 1500 debris particles that have been tracked but it is a smaller one is that we don't know where they have gone, theirs are the ones that are still big enough to damage the space station but not big enough to track and that is where a lot of the uncertainty comes from. that is where you really start to get the risk to both human life on board the space station and the chinese space station and other spacecraft as well. these will the size of a bullet and hugger through your spacecraft like a bullet, and you will take it out and not know what happens and that is where you will get a cascading effect where one piece of debris causes more debris and that is where we are atjust now and that is where we are atjust now and that's why this sort of thing is so irresponsible, because you cannot control where the debris is going. it will impact russian activities in space as much as everybody else. what sort of frequency do these things happen at? because this is something where we are at risk of seeing an incident like this again? i would hope not. the chinese did their test back in 2007. the us say they didn't but they had to respond with a similar request of their own, the indians of done it and now the russians have done it and think you could end that as the russians feeling that there was a need for them to demonstrate that they had this capability, so hopefully that kind of draws a line underneath it and hopefully now the major space powers will feel they have all demonstrated they can do it and don't need to again but it is an ongoing effect because all old spacecraft are at risk of blowing up. they have a bad habit of spontaneously decomposing into lots of bits of debris, so there is already a problem up there with the old spacecraft we have launched, no need to make that worse, but hopefully this will draw a line underneath it, the major space faring nations have demonstrated this capability and will not feel the need to demonstrate it again. is the need to demonstrate it again. is there a risk that this is a long—term trend of space becoming the new environment, for this sort of interaction between nations? absolutely. space has always had a military element to it stop there has always been military activity in space. but it has become more open. the americans, russians, uk, france, all talk about space as a war fighting their way that they talk about cyber and internet security as about cyber and internet security as a war fighting about cyber and internet security as a warfighting domain, so it is a congested environment where they are each seeking to have the advantage over their competitors and adversaries and to try and limit the access and freedom of movement of the adversaries, so we are seeing space becoming a more openly congested and contested environment. malcolm, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, professor malcolm macdonald from the university of strathclyde. the headlines on bbc news... borisjohnson has backed labour calls to end mps working as a paid lobbyist as he seeks to stem a sleaze row. harrowing evidence to mp5 from former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq about how he was racially abused at the club. he said his treatment was inhuman and the sport was institutionally racist. members of an online movement infected with pandemic conspiracies are shifting their focus — and are increasingly peddling falsehoods about climate change. it's our specialist disinformation reporter marianna spring has been investigating for the denial files a podcast series. i spoke to her a little bit earlier. who have you been interviewing? what i started to notice that in particularly the covid conspiracy movement groups were people talking about climate change, a message one, a guy called matthew who lives in new zealand, is from the uk but has lived in the new zealand for 20 years, they had strict markdowns, he turned to social media because he felt frustrated about the government's response to the pandemic, leading him to groups promoting really extreme conspiracies, notjust about the pandemic vaccines but now about climate change, the idea it is a hoax or as he posted part of "alarmist propaganda", whether that is the pandemic or climate change, he believes it is being used to "control our lives". hejoined one telegram channel in particular, the white rose, you can order stickers to stick around your neighbourhood stickers, with a qr code that leads to these groups, how he joined them in the first place. for him this has become very much a part of his life, notjust in new zealand but we are seeing these kinds of narratives about climate change playing out elsewhere. i spoke to a nurse in northern ireland. her girlfriend became involved in the white rose group, posting stickers in her locale. and now believes climate change is a hoax and is part of a sinister plot to control us. how does that shape their lives, what effect does it have? it has a very personal effect. for christine, the nurse who lives in belfast, she has broken up with her girlfriend because she has become so involved in the extreme conspiracy movements, posting falsehoods about greta thunberg. as thunberg. well as about covid. matthew had to stand in his garden because his partner and nine—year—old daughter are worried. his daughter has been doing presentations at school about global warming and he feels worried about that. you see how people become isolated from those they care about by these extreme conspiracy theories. how much of what you have seen reflects a wider change, perhaps globally? one thing a lot of researchers in this space, particularly from the institute for strategic dialogue, are noticing is including climate change in these very extreme views, memes, posts that suggest climate change is part of these shady, shadowy plots. much of the terminology and language around covid, discussion of climate lockdowns, for example, which there is no evidence, the first lockdown did not really reduce our greenhouse emissions anyway. but the fear and distress that the pandemic have caused have grown a certain mentality, some people believing these shadowy plots encompass everything, and who now are willing to take action and protest or post in this case online about how they think climate change isn't real, which is not true. marianna spring. there's been another rise in the number of people on company payrolls, despite the end of the government's furlough scheme. fears of a jump in redundancies have not materialised according to the latest figures, which show a surge of 160,000 people in payrolled employment between september and october, to a total of 29.3 million. butjob vacanices also hit a record high, raising some concerns about a shortage of workers, as our economics correspondent andy verity reports. more work to do, divided between fewer people to do it. in this reopened economy businesses like this family hotel group in sutton coldfield in the west midlands are now being held back because they can't recruit the staff they need to meet the demand from customers. this business is around 20 staff members short in an industry where vacancies are up by 80% compared with pre—pandemic levels. we have had a challenge with having enough hands to operate, so we are having to shut the restaurant at times. we are having to cut down on the size of the menu. because we don't have enough skills in the kitchen or enough hands in the kitchen. job vacancies have hit a new record. up by nearly 4000,000 compared with before the pandemic to nearly 1.2 million. the latest figures show there are 29.3 million staff on employers payroll is also more than before the pandemic started. the chancellor welcomed the figures. today's jobs figures of the first we have had since furlough ended and 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, including i can announce today 100,000 young people who have started jobs through our kick—start scheme. with skill shortages and sharply higher pay in industries such as transport, the workforce overall is smaller than it was, with about1 million more adults of working age classed as economically inactive, neither working nor available for work. there are some things in the data to date we have got to be concerned about. in the main that is because whilst is down, employment is not rising by corresponding out but we are seeing instead are peoplejust not being in the labour market at all, economic inactivity, we are seeing a real problem there and that will be the focus for the government. economists say the bank of england concern about the ending of the furlough scheme should now have eased. one of the reasons the bank of england gave for not raising rates last week was because of a market uncertainty surrounding the furlough, and today's figures have provided some reassurance against that but on the other hand, today's figures show we haven't seen particularly strong wage growth, which would have justified raising rates to prevent a wage price spiral. average earnings rose by 4.9% over the past year, a lot more than we used to be used to before the pandemic. but a lot of that is caused by distortions, for example because wages were artificially low last year. if you strip those out, the rise was only 3.4%. the strains in the economy aren't too few jobs available, but too few workers to do them. in this reopened economy, skills shortages and a long wait to be served are becoming the new post—pandemic norm. andy verity, bbc news. there's been a sharp rise in the number of children in primary school in england who are overweight or obese. new figures show that in year six, 41 % of pupils now fall into this category. children living in deprived areas are more than twice as likely to be overweight. our health correspondent katherine da costa has been going through the data. lockdowns during the pandemic not only had an impact on children's mental health and education but it seems that it had a huge effect on children's diet and lifestyle with more becoming less active and eating more junk food. we have a chart which we can show you which shows the proportion of children who are overweight or obese has been slowly rising in recent years, but there has been a big jump of 4.5 percentage points in the most recent year. that's twice the increase over the last decade. around 14% of reception age children are now obese. that increases to just over a quarter by year six. these figures come with caveats. nhs digital collected data from one in ten children this year compared to all children as they would normally, and measuring the bmi of children is tricky, so it might mean that these figures are not as bad as they appear, but the rise is a concern because obesity increases the chance of developing serious conditions like type two diabetes, heart disease and cancer. and today nhs england announced it was going to open 15 centres around the country that will bring lots of different experts together under one roof so that they can provide tailored treatments and diet plans for about 1000 children a year. now, poverty is a major factor and, while charities welcomed the extra support, they want to see it targeted at those who need it most and they want other measures like restricting junk food adverts and providing access to more healthy food, to try to reverse this trend. there've been demonstrations in greece over the latest coronavirus restrictions. restaurants closed to the public to protest new rules that say people who aren't vaccinated must take a covid test to enter cafes and bars. public sector workers also protested over pay and conditions, saying a decision to suspend unvaccinated workers has led to staff shortages and overwork. the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall have arrived injordan, to begin their first royal tour since the coronavirus pandemic began. they were greeted by british diplomats in the capital, amman. climate change is expected to be one of the main themes of the visit. the royal couple will also visit egypt. it was the scene taken by a weather watcher in the skies above rotherham. some hints of blue sky. heading into this evening and overnight we will keep that card but it will tend to clear away the early hours tomorrow. the largely dry theme continues with some showers in theme continues with some showers in the forecast. we have weather fronts close to the north of the uk at times. higher pressure holding on further south meaning a lot of dry and settled weather. this evening and settled weather. this evening and overnight we have showers packing in across parts of scotland and northern ireland. this area of rain will tend to peter out over the next few hours. the cloudy skies we have had today tending to clear into the early hours of wednesday. quite a chilly night in prospect. most of us pretty much frost free. there could be a touch of frost for north—east england and eastern scotland as well. through the day tomorrow we will be between weather systems so this cold front will have cleared to the east. this warm front has not quite reached us from the rest. high pressure in charge for most. showers continuing across the north and west of scotland. a little bit of a wintry flavour first thing across some of the highest ground. showers for parts of northern ireland, north—west england but mainly the north and west of scotland. elsewhere, lots of dry, settled weather. no sunshine tomorrow than in recent days. temperatures a degree down but still around 13, a few degrees above average for this time of year. that moving into thursday, a warm front pushes eastwards with wins coming from a south—westerly direction so a mild day to come, lots of dry weather, rain for the far north—west of scotland but some centring around in the south and east on thursday. and that effect with the wind blowing across the higher ground, we could see warm weather for the likes of eastern scotland, up to 17 degrees but widely, temperatures in the mid teens. he was the mild air with us heading into friday. holds on into saturday but saturday night into sunday, we have got this stream of northerly winds on their way so the next few days, still looking pretty mild, but single figures by the time we get to sunday. . so a significant change in the weather over the course of the weekend. it will eventually turn colder, but the next few days are still looking pretty mild. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown — our headlines at five. borisjohnson has backed labour's call to ban mp5 from acting as paid political consultants or lobbyists — as he tries to stem the row over sleaze. harrowing evidence to mp5 from former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq about how he was racially abused at the club. he said his treatment was inhuman and the sport in england is institutionally racist: the game as a whole has a problem with listening to the victim and it has been, but, yeah, but, there is no gap but to racism. there is no two sides to racism. detectives investigating sunday's bomb blast in liverpool say the main charge on the device may have failed to detonate.
