app stopped working. regular train services have returned to the dartmoor line in devon for the first time in almost 50 years. coming up this hour, diving into some cutting edge technology in click, including how virtual reality could help parents to better understand potentially life—changing surgeries for their children. please in the netherlands say they have made more than 50 arrests following a night of violence in rotterdam in which two people needed hospital treatment. what began as a protest against covid restrictions turned into rioting with cars being set alight and officers attacked with stones and fireworks. the world health organisation says it is worried about the rapid rise in coronavirus infections across much of europe. it has worn 500,000 more deaths could be recorded by march. rotterdam last night. these were the scenes in the netherlands�* second largest city. protesters rioting over lockdown restrictions clashed with police. officers used water cannon, fired warning shots and then live rounds. two people were shot and wounded and the protest condemned by rotterdam's mayor as an orgy of violence. translation: on several. occasions police officers had to draw their weapons to defend themselves. some aimed shots were fired. at least seven were injured. restrictions in the netherlands began on monday and will be in place for another two weeks at least. countries across europe are facing a sharp increases in covid cases. in austria a 20—day lockdown will start next week. working from home will be ordered and only essential shops will stay open. in february vaccinations will become compulsory. we have a very low vaccination rate in the population and the waning of immunity hits austria now six months after we started our vaccination programme and that is unfortunately right at the beginning of the winter season where people are moving indoors. germany fears a national health care emergency. the government is set to introduce restrictions for unvaccinated people. a full lockdown not ruled out. such a dramatic surge in cases is not being experienced in the uk. a number of factors at play. many countries in europe were faced with delta a little bit later so they are dealing with it now and some of them opened up slightly later than we did so that is a factor. the second one is there is differences in vaccines. your hive high levels of non—vaccine uptake in some populations in some european countries. high infection rates in the past have helped build up immunity in the uk. now the push to increase booster jab take up continues. the incentive for many, the avoidance of tougher restrictions being introduced elsewhere. megan paterson, bbc news. president biden has urged americans to avoid "violence and destruction" after a teenager who shot dead two people during racialjustice protests was cleared of murder in wisconsin. kyle rittenhouse said he'd acted in self—defence last august. the president also said... "while the verdict in kenosha will leave many americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken." from wisconsin, nomia iqbal sent this report. the defendant will rise and face the jury and harken to its verdicts. a dangerous vigilante, or someone acting in self defence? after 26 hours the jury decided kyle rittenhouse�*s fate. we, the jury, find the defendant, kyle h rittenhouse, not guilty. the 12 men and women of the jury accepted the teenager's claim he killed out of fear for his safety. somehow, some way, those 12jurors found that he was innocent. shouting. outside court the political divisions this case has caused were clear. you attack me, i have the right to defend myself. that is what kyle was on trial for and that is what kyle has been found acquitted of. there is no way in the law and the land of law where a person can shoot three people, kill two of them, and be acquitted, there'sjust no way. the shooting happened against the backdrop of nationwide protests over racism and police brutality following the murder of george floyd. in kenosha and another black man named jacob blake had been shot by police seven times and on the third night of riots kyle rittenhouse entered the city. he said he came to provide security. in a series of confrontations he shot dead joseph rosenbaum who had chased after him into this car park. he then killed another man who ran after rittenhouse thinking he was an active shooter. a third man survived. police later arrested the teenager and charged him with murder. for many conservative groups kyle rittenhouse is now seen as a hero, but for many liberal groups he is the face of a gun culture out of control and they are worried by being cleared of the charges what it might mean now for future protests. can americans turn up with a gun but not face any consequences? nomia iqbal, bbc news, kenosha. a record number of people died while detained under the mental health act in england during the coronavirus pandemic. that's according to early estimates from the independent regulator, the care quality commission. the figures come amid concerns that staffing shortages are compromising patient safety in psychiatric wards and across the nhs. patrick baker reports, and a warning, his report contains flashing images. after struggling with his mental health throughout most of his teenage years, 17—year—old charlie millers became increasingly unwell during the second half of 2020. he went downhill in thejuly time. he was then sectioned. charlie spent the next few months in and out of the mental health unit at prestwich hospital in manchester. in early december last year, he returned to the ward following a night at home. i dropped him off at quarter to eight at night. he was in really good spirits and then i got a phone call at quarter to ii to say that they were doing cpr on him. during the course of that evening charlie had made four attempts on his life, the last of which proved fatal. a confidential nhs report into charlie's death said that due to sickness absence being reported that day there was no qualified nurse rostered on duty for the night shift. the nurse in charge agreed to cover the shift. she had worked from 9am to 4pm and returned at 7pm. in a statement the nhs trust that runs prestwich hospital expressed its deepest sympathies but said it would be inappropriate to comment further until the coroner's inquest has concluded. between 2012 and 2019 an average 273 people died each year while detained in hospital or being supervised in the community under the mental health act in england. but early estimates for the first year of the pandemic suggest a record high, with 490 people dying between march 2020 and march 2021. i think staff shortages are compromising patient safety in every part of the nhs at the moment. we have a workforce crisis and it's time we completely overhauled the way we decide how many doctors and nurses we are going to train for the future. the department of health and social care said there are now record numbers of doctors and nurses working in the nhs. they said they are investing £2.3 billion a year by 2023—24 to transform mental health care and will bring forward plans to reform the mental health act. charlie's mum samantha says she is still waiting for a clear explanation about how her son could have lost his life in the very place that was meant to keep him safe. a full inquest into charlie's death starts next year. single—use plastics such as plates and cutlery, as well as polystyrene cups, could all be banned in england under new plans being considered by the government. it is estimated that only ten per cent of such items are recycled. according to estimates, in england alone, we get through 1.1 billion single—use plates every year. in addition to that 4.25 billion single use pieces of cutlery — the vast majority of which are plastic — are also used. disposable coffee cups have been a long standing problem — the uk throws away 2.5 billion of those every year. professor rashid gatrad is a member of the royal college of paediatricians and founded the campaign group world against single use plastics. he explained the scale of the problem. obviously everything starts at home, so once you start recycling the recyclables, and ifeel the government should be stricter with the corporates to make sure that they accurately label what is recyclable and what isn't, and also there should be throughout our country there should also be uniform colours of what goes into a recycling bin and what doesn't. at the moment there is confusion, each area has got its own colours of bins, so that should happen. but worldwide 80% plus countries do not actually have a waste collecting system, so that is something else they would need support for because we ourselves do our bit but i think this is a global issue, as indeed is climate change. it goes back to industry where designing of material is important, because once designed in a way where the least amount of plastic or no plastic is used, so first of all it has got to go to the roots. so having said that, there are still some plastics and seven types of plastic symbols as you know, some plastics are easier to recycle and others are not. what we do is we collect plastic that is more difficult to recycle, such as the one in spectacles, and we call this project let us make a spectacle project where a lot of the miss england finalists last yearjoined me in collecting these from various opticians and we sent it to various other countries. so reusing plastic is also very important apart from recycling it, which also is important. obviously bio plastics is on the horizon, but expensive, so that will be an alternative to normal plastic that we are using at the moment. tesla drivers have reported being locked out of their cars after an outage struck the carmaker�*s app. dozens of owners said an error message on the mobile app was preventing them from connecting to their vehicles. it's used as a key by drivers to unlock and start their cars. tesla's chief executive, elon musk, apologised and said he would make sure the outage didn't happen again. caroline davies has more on this. technology is down designed to make our lives easier and we all know what happens when it doesn't go to plan. yesterday tesla drivers said they were having difficulties using they were having difficulties using the tesla app according to down detector. the ceo, elon musk, said they were checking the system and said the system should be back online. he apologised and said it would not happen again. it is important to emphasise it is not just the app, you can also use a key card or a fob to be able to get into the cars. however, when i spoke to an academic and also a tesla user, professor david bailey, he said that tesla can sometimes be a victim of its own success, that it advertises itself as a high—tech company, that itself as a high—tech company, that it has cutting—edge technology and thatis it has cutting—edge technology and that is one of the things that appeals to many of the users and why they would want to purchase a tesla car in the first place. sometimes they become used to just relying on they become used to just relying on the technology and maybe do not leave the house with their keys as well. it is a bit like leaving your house with your phone and hoping to pay with contactless and if something goes wrong with that and you do not have a credit card as well you do not have a back—up option. the key message is the technology might not always work, but make sure you have got your keys as well. ., ., , ,., the headlines on bbc news... the world health organisation says it is very worried about the rise in covid cases in europe and is urging countries to "drastically" increase the use of face masks and vaccinations. more than 50 arrests have been made after violent clashes in the netherlands over new covid restrictions. austria has also seen demonstrations after a new lockdown was announced. there have been calls for calm in the us after a teenager who shot two people dead during racial unrest last year is cleared of murder. more now on the spread of coronavirus in europe. the cambridge university professor of statistics, david spiegelhalter, who is also the co—author of �*covid by numbers', explained how helpful it was to compare covid figures across different european countries. we have seen germany, austria, the netherlands, belgium, france and italy as you have shown in your graphs are all at different levels but they are increasing exponentially and the diggers are doubling every two weeks and that is different from what is happening in the uk at the moment. that gives us some information about what we have to be wary of and also perhaps some of the things that have gone right for us in this country. what of the things that have gone right for us in this country.— for us in this country. what has this could _ for us in this country. what has this could learn _ for us in this country. what has this could learn from? - for us in this country. what has | this could learn from? obviously for us in this country. what has - this could learn from? obviously the roll-out of the _ this could learn from? obviously the roll-out of the vaccination _ this could learn from? obviously the roll-out of the vaccination is - this could learn from? obviously the roll-out of the vaccination is from i roll—out of the vaccination is from the very beginning in the uk. we have vaccination rates, but many higher than other countries. crucially it is the boosters, we have got a much higher boost rate than other countries. it is quite easy to overlook that because you might say the waning immunity, 99% protection against hospitalisation might wane to 95%, which does not sound very much. but if you flip it round and say that our vulnerability has gone up from i% to 5%, that shows the risk of hospitalisation has increased five times. so the booster, which has been recently shown to be extraordinarily effective, and if you had astrazeneca the first time round, i had pfizer, but if you had astrazeneca it is known the protection was not as good as pfizer. but if you have a pfizer booster, that makes pumps you up not only to where you were before but higher than ever. it pumps you up to have the protection as if you had just had two pfizer doses. our booster rate is higher than other countries and that is really protecting us a lot at the moment. obviously you thrive on statistics, thatis obviously you thrive on statistics, that is yourjob, your interest, but how useful would it be to better explain these numbers to the public across europe, where we are seeing these protests, this rejection of policies? these protests, this re'ection of olicies? ~ , , ., policies? well, this is always the auestion policies? well, this is always the question that _ policies? well, this is always the question that is _ policies? well, this is always the question that is asked, _

is l question that is asked, but it is more than just explaining the numbers to people. people are against vaccinations for many reasons and no matter how much you explain to them the numbers, some will not take any notice because they are ideal logically opposed to them, or, particularly in these, there is a deep mistrust of government and authority. so is difficult, but i think for people perhaps you are a little bit in the middle, wavering and cautious, to hammer home the extraordinarily great power of these vaccines, particularly the boosters, to prevent hospital plans is terribly important. but you cannot expect that to work on its own, it requires more than that. the that to work on its own, it requires more than that.— more than that. the world health organisation _ more than that. the world health organisation is _ more than that. the world health organisation is warning _ more than that. the world health organisation is warning that - more than that. the world

how realistic is that? it is not my job to _ figure. how realistic is that? it is not my job to make _ figure. how realistic is that? it 3 not myjob to make projections like that. it all depends only on behaviour. in the end, we know what stops this virus circulation and that. i , which led to higher case rates, much higher than anyone else. that could have been a reasonable strategy because of the build—up of immunity in the population. but each country has to decide for itself how to get those changes behaviour the population. the amount to which that is done by encouragement and bylaws is done by encouragement and bylaws is up to everyjurisdiction to choose how best they do it, but they have got to do it. when you have exponentially rising rates we know the consequences of that and that has to be turned around. what the consequences of that and that has to be turned around. what about the facts, the _ has to be turned around. what about the facts, the data, _ has to be turned

quite l like to be seen now? did not have been talking about give us quite a j been talking about give us quite a good picture of what is going on. it is interesting to know the amount of immunity in the population. in the uk we have a survey that goes out and test how many people have antibodies and that because they had either the vaccine because they had coronavirus. in the uk we have got 90 something percent of the population with antibodies, either through vaccination or having had it. so that is why, that is why we are really doing fairly well at the moment, but we are wobbling. let's ta ke let's take a look at the sports news now. good afternoon. the premier league is back, but with a few notable absences. mason greewood has been ruled out of manchester united's game at watford with covid. there'll be no eddie howe in the newcastle dugout today after he tested positive too, but two other premier league managers will be present for theirfirst games with steven gerrard's aston villa playing brighton, and dean smith's norwich at home to southampton. and chelsea are already six points clear at the top of the table after winning 3—0 at leicester city in the lunchtime kick off — antonio rudiger headed the first, before n'golo kante set off on a run against his former club that nobody stopped. chelsea 2—0 up inside half an hour. thomas tuchel�*s side made it 16 points out of a possible 18, as they wrapped up the win in the second half thanks to christian pulisic. there is a certain spirit now and a certain quality that we know better and better where we can take risks and better where we can take risks and where we should not take risks and where we should not take risks and how to play our game and how to find our identity and force our identity onto the pitch. i feel that it is important that we are confident and we play also with a certain freedom, but the most important is the attitude and the teamwork. there was just one game in the women's super league today, as manchester city thrashed aston villa 5—0 to relieve some of the pressure on their manager gareth taylor. city were frustrated in the first half but a superb second half display claimed an important win at the academy stadium. scotland international caroline weir opened the scoring just after the break. substitute hayley raso scored her first goals for the club with lauren hemp also on the score sheet. the win sees city leapfrog villa in the table, and restore some much—needed confidence as the team head off onto international duty. they're nine points behind the leaders arsenal. scotland had to hang on to beat japan 29—20 at murrayfield in their final autumn international of the year. there was a new piece of history for the home side as stuart hogg went out in front as scotland's record try scorer. his 25th international career score takes him beyond the record first set in the 1930s. but in the second half japan made a game of it, from 19—6 down they got back to within one score. scotland though did get over the line thanks to the boot of finn russell. they've won three of their four games this autumn, the one defeat coming to south africa. lewis hamilton will start tomorrow's qatar grand prix from pole. he was almost half a second quicker than the red bull of his title rival max verstappen. his mercedes team mate valtteri bottas was third. it's the 102nd pole of hamilton's career, but his first since the hungarian grand prix back in august. it's been confirmed that un—vaccinated tennis players won't be allowed to compete at the australian open injanuary. there'd been conflicting statements over the restrictions. defending champion novak djokovic has not yet revealed his vaccination status. joe salisbury has become the first british man in history to reach the doubles final of the atp finals. salisbury and his american partner rajeev ram beat the world number one pair of nikola mektic and mate pavic 10—4 in a match tie—break in the semifinal in turin. rory mcilroy is back at the top of the leaderboard going into the final day of golf�*s season—ending dp world tour championship in dubai. at one stage, mcilroy had looked in trouble, but he somehow recovered from this position at the back of the green to rescue a bogey at the par 3 17th. and by staying in touch he was able to re—take the outright lead on the final hole of the third round. a birdie on the 18th means mcilroy is on 1a under going into the final day's play which starts in the early hours of tomorrow. he'll play that final round with england's sam horsfield, who's one shot behind mcilroy after a bogey on his last hole. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. more now on the plan to reduce single—use plastics. joining me now is rob opsomer from the ellen macarthur foundation, which aims to promote what it calls a �*circular�* economy. what do you mean by a circular economy? what we mean by a circular economy? what we mean by a circular economy is the easiest way to explain it is to look first at how our current economy works. we take resources out of the ground, we make products and we throw them away. circular economy is about turning it into a circle by eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and pollution, circulating products and materials and regenerating nature. to and materials and regenerating nature. ., ., ., ., ., nature. to what extent do we do that now? many — nature. to what extent do we do that now? many councils _ nature. to what extent do we do that now? many councils all— nature. to what extent do we do that now? many councils all say _ nature. to what extent do we do that now? many councils all say they - nature. to what extent do we do that| now? many councils all say they make huge efforts to try to reduce, reuse and recycle. that is their slogan. absolutely, we have seen over the last couple of years a tremendous amount of momentum building around the idea of the circular economy and we see lots of effort by businesses, governments and individuals, but we need to do much more and go further. that is why the announcement today, the plan of the uk government to ban more single—use plastics, is so important because it is where we need to start. rather than try to manage pollution once it is there, we need to prevent it from being there in the first place by eliminating some of those items that we don't need in our economy. aha, eliminating some of those items that we don't need in our economy. pa. 11th we don't need in our economy. a lot of food manufacturers _ we don't need in our economy. a lot of food manufacturers would say that to transport their goods they need a certain amount of packaging. we are not going to ban it entirely, are we? we need to replace it. absolutely and that is why if we look at what is needed, the plan from the uk government today is vital because that is where we need to start. we look at what we need today and what we can eliminate right now. that will not be possible for everything, so it is crucial that we complement it with innovation to extend what we can eliminate. if you look at packaging, it is often used to protect fruit, to avoid food ways, and there is a company that sprays an edible layer on top of fruit and vegetables that also extends the shelf life and it avoids food waste without using single—use packaging. that is a great example of a new innovation makes it possible to eliminate much more than we are currently doing. finally, we ask them to make sure that we circulate whatever we do put into the economy because we will always need packaging and products and it is crucial that once we put them in the economy they are designed in a way that they can be easily recirculated and used over and over again rather than becoming waste or pollution. haifa and over again rather than becoming waste or pollution.— waste or pollution. how much will it revent b

friendly packaging? the world of business will always be a - friendly packaging? the world of| business will always be a primary driver. what we are seeing now is that if we look at what is happening in the world, notjust the uk, we have united more than 1000 organisations, including many of the world's largest businesses like nestl and coca—cola on an ambitious 2025 target to reduce the packaging they use and make sure that all the packaging that they do use is easily reusable and recyclable or compostable. the progress those companies are making is driving an enormous search for solutions. if you have an innovator and you have a solution that can help vent plastic waste, and that is giving birth to a lot of innovators very rapidly over the last couple of years. the other part is that obviously business action is absolutely vital and we encourage all businesses to do whatever they can, but it will have to be we need lots of other government regulations as well. it is also notjust in uk. that is why we are really pushing for notjust government action in the uk, but for a global plastic strategy that would unite all the governments in the world to push an ambitious regulation on plastics. thank you very much- _ in california, an armoured security van has shed its load of banknotes across the lanes of an interstate freeway. drivers began stopping their vehicles in the middle of the road so that they could scoop up the wads of cash. this all happened after a door of the security van flew open as it was travelling on the road near the city of san diego. but police officers have warned that this footage — from social media — is likely to be used to track down anyone who does not swiftly hand over the cash. they told a news conference that the morning belonged to a bank and must be returned to a police station. two people were arrested after a couple who had joined in accidentally locked themselves out of their car, blocking a lane and leaving themselves unable to leave the scene. greed, naked greed. now it is time for a look at the weather forecast. so far it has been mild for this time of year. but we will see a turn too much colder weather. the mechanism for that is these weather fronts down and across all parts of the british isles opens us up to a northerly wind and plenty of it.
