has. been facing a crisis for quite some time even prior to the covid—19 pandemic. we saw a rates of depression and anxiety increased, but the most challenging thing was that people were not able to access various mental health supports due to financial constraints but also due to the shortage that was in place with psychiatrists and therapists who were available. and so given the fact that the pandemic was emotionally challenging for so many faults, also the social and political climate that many people in america were facing in a number of other challenges, it certainly has made it such that mental health symptoms have been on the rise here in the us. find symptoms have been on the rise here in the us. �* , . , in the us. and why are we seeing this as a result _ in the us. and why

be a number of different - could be a number of different factors. but we know to be true is we are having more conversations about mental health and we are also talking about suicide more often. so i do believe that people are more open and honest about having thoughts of suicide or even being more open about the attempts they've made with regard to suicide. we are also better at collecting data having to do with suicide than previously where they would be a cause of death. we were not quite sure what the underlying cause was but i do think that reporting has also improved in terms of suicide. but also people are really struggling. they don't have the tools or supports as well as the actual mental health supports they needin actual mental health supports they need in regards to the therapists and the psychiatrists that they need to reduce some of their symptoms. so that elevates the level of attempting suicide.- that elevates the level of attempting suicide. that elevates the

with trauma —related symptoms are all things that can interfere with a person in their ability to function. but people really are resistant to talking about it because they feel like it's something that they can solve on their own while not really appreciating the fact that there are known helps and treatments and supports that are available to make people recover and live productive lives

what role the - generation. doctor, you mentioned| the pandemic so what role the debt half and exacerbating the crisis? i think what the pandemic, people were not able to access their usual supports and resources to navigate stress. people were socially isolated from each other and they could not attend church. they could not connect with their communities in such a way that would allow them to reduce some of the distress that they were experiencing. and that went on for quite some time. and then in addition to that, wait lists to see a therapist or psychiatrist just grew. and so what we are dealing with is people who want to access mental health care, because of all the distress that they experienced and they were not able to get help during the pandemic, and them it's building up because they still have not been able to get the help that they need. we have a significant shortage when it comes to mental health providers. and i think that is contributing to the issues that we are seeing currently. doctor, we mentioned the deaths for those over 55 increasing by more than 8%. what do you think is behind that? i than 8%. what do you think is behind that? “ than 8%. what do

is a pandemic of loneliness. and not having those social connections can make it such that people may lose a sense of purpose for living. it is so we cannot underestimate the importance of the social supports, and that could be one factor that is contributing. but also as someone already previously mentioned, there is a generational divide here where people are accustomed to dealing with certain emotional challenges and feeling like they should overcome them on their own. so they are not as open to the idea of talking to a therapist or open to the idea of taking medication to help improve some of their mental health symptoms. shill help improve some of their mental health symptoms.— help improve some of their mental health symptoms. all right, doctor crawford, health symptoms. all

have begun anotherfour—day strike as their bitter dispute with the government over pay and conditions grinds on. nearly a million nhs appointments and procedures are expected to be postponed or cancelled over the next four days. the british medical association is calling for a 35% pay rise, while the government is offering 6% plus a lump sum which would bring the increase to around 9%. let's praying andrew and brian back in. are we any closer at this point to having some sort of resolution to this? ., ., �* ~' to having some sort of resolution to this? ., ., �* ,, ., ., this? no, i don't

government have got to - this? no, i don't think we are and - the government have got to do more. there is a shortage of doctors in the uk for so i think there are just over 10,000 vacancies in the nhs. we have fewer gps now fully trained that we did ten years ago in 2013. there is a real crisis of recruitment and retention within the national health service among doctors as well as within nursing and other professions in the health service as well. so if you want to keep encouraging people to become doctors and retain them in the uk, because other countries are paying doctors a lot more people will look at that and think if i can earn twice as much in australia or whatever and the housing costs are less and they are in large parts of england, people will move. especially people who do wind up on decent salaries but this is junior doctors who have begun a four—day strike. and they actually start off a very low wages, around £14 an hour in the first year. so there is a real need to boost that substantially. not present may sound like a lot but not percent of them of not very much is not very much still an inflation has been over to percent for much of the last year. so in reality that is another real terms cop. some 35% i think sounds a lot because that's how much pay has been cut back over the last 15 years. doctors pay in real terms as been following year on year for 15 years and i think it's time for the government to arrest that it will necessarily happen overnight we get that all in one go, one big uplift of 35% commitment perhaps if a programme is put in place that does do it above inflation rises over a number of years we may actually see this. without getting more doctors trained and retained in the hs, the backlogs of the nhs or did not go to be clear to this is a real functional question and not about digging in a shoving who wished up at about settling this in the interest of patients ultimately. brute interest of patients ultimately. we

to move and it needs them to stop digging in and try to show they are strong. it is not the solution here. the solution here is to get people off of the waiting list to back into work and back into good state of health because this is a real crisis and its much wider than the doctors. it's about the rights of paper and retaining nurses was that we have more nurses last year quitting the any of the year and nhs history last year and we need to put more money into people pay packets to get them to stay in the nhs and help clear the backlogs and encourage others to take out those professions

shell cottage. an emotive scene for harry potter fans after he died trying to get his friends to safety. a few days ago, a picture was posted on social media showing the socks and trinkets had been removed, leaving just rocks here. but today, the socks and various other items are back. as socks played an important part in dobby�*s storyline, it's no surprise there are many here, but it's what affect those items are having on the local environment is what's causing concern. yeah, we've left the stone and written a little message. i love dobby, so... he's one of my favourite characters. national trust cymru said they love welcoming visitors to the area and are asking people not to leave any items, but to just take pictures. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news

ministers. ministry of defence data shows he took almost one such flight a week during his first seven months in office. that's more frequently than theresa may, borisjohnson or liz truss. the prime minister has been accused of hypocrisy for flying short journeys domestically given his pledges to curb planet—warming carbon emissions, but mr sunak has said air travel was the "most effective use of my time". bringing the panel back in here. do you agree? is the most effective use of his time?— of his time? no, look him of the uk is a re of his time? no, look him of the uk is a pretty small _ of

back to work. not getting rid of hybrid working, which seems odd to me. a company that is entirely rely on the fact that you can do everything set in your laptop is now telling its employees you cannot work there. 0bviously employees you cannot work there. obviously does not affect the warehouse taffy were often very low paid anonymously as ugly and warehouses, but it people can work from home efficiently and effectively, being productive then, it seems to me odd that a company thatis it seems to me odd that a company that is so reliant on online trade and business cannot adapt to that thing and i think there's a number of companies are struggling with how you manage staff and how you interrelate in a communicate and help them not quite caught up. there is also an inequality dangle here with a worklife balance thing. in one respect, people with caring responsibilities, much more flexible for them if they can work from home. they are able to balance their time with their children, with if they have caring response ability for relatives who were elderly as well. they have not got that commuting time that eats into their day so thatis time that eats into their day so that is a good thing potentially. and to make people happier and more productive. but there is also i think an issue for people with disabilities, for whom commuting is difficult. forwhom disabilities, for whom commuting is difficult. for whom special adaptations are made in the office so they are benefits on both sides here and i think companies really need to sit in on both sides here and i think companies really need to sit in a talk to their employees rather than to have done because it profit a walk out in the us where it this is been done, imposing you must come out of the office this many days a week even if there is no issue with the work that you are doing from home. it seems to me a bit top—down and not the most collegial way to go about things. some viewers might be surprised another even zoom is asking its workers to come back to the office and that seems to be very counterproductive perhaps for all those who use them and were kissing. to quickly get your take on this, it is a question of people having paper really expensive office buildings like in washington and making sure that they can pay their lease? listen, they are breaking their leases —

pandemic. so we will see how that develops, but look what we are going to leave it there with the panel. thank you both very much, great to have you want to wish you both a great weekend. thanks to everyone for walking and watching and to remind you our top story, the wildfires in hawaii we did not get the press conference and at that hour but we will of course continue to watch this story for you on bbc news thank you for watching. hello, from the bbc sport centre. i'm sarah mulkerrins. it's the final few minutes of the first game of the premier league season. and champions manchester city are looking good against burnley at turf moor. erling haaland picked up where he left off last campaign, scoring two goals against the newly promoted club. the norwegian scored 36 premier league goals for city last season. it's 3—0 at the moment. heading towards 90 minutes and you can follow up on abc's poor website. -- bbc can follow up on abc's poor website. —— bbc sport website. now to the latest on harry kane's future. tottenham's record goal—scorer has arrived in munich and is expected to undergo a medical at the german champions after a 100 million euro deal was agreed by the clubs. the transfer is thought to be finalised before the new bundesliga season, which starts next week. spurs boss ange postecoglou has been convinced he was leaving since he took over the job. in my mind, after the initial conversation, it seemed harry had made up his mind. if not, he was also happy to stay. it wasn't like he was kind of forcing it on me. he was very professional about it, and i tried to treat him with the respect that a player of his standing deserves. we've been planning for this, fair to say, for a while. i think it doesn't take too much investigative work to realise that this was going to happen, so we've been planning for it to happen anyway. so, a lot of business up till now is with that in mind. this doesn't change things dramatically from my perspective anyway. and another potential huge move is on the cards. liverpool have agreed a british record transfer for moises caicedo from brighton for £111 million. caicedo's been on the radar of several premier league sides for the last few months after a standout season for brighton, who had already rejected a series of bids from chelsea. the ecuadorian midfielder is now free to go for a medical. well, the league that has dominated a significant amount of the summer conversations and transfer market, the saudi pro league, has got underway. and it was former liverpool bobby firminho who scored a hat—trick as al ahli beat al hazm 3—1. riyad mahrez, edouard mendy and allan saint—maximin all made their debuts as well. it follows the state—funded summer transfer spending spree that's transformed football in saudi arabia. at the women's world cup, sweden and spain are through to the semifinals. it was a superb performance from sweden, who got the better of 2011 champions japan, goals coming from amanda ilestedt and filippa angeldahl. japan missed a penalty, but pulled one back in the closing stages. but it wasn't enough, and sweden held on to win 2—1, claiming another big name on the way to the finalfour. they had knocked out the us. and they'll play spain on tuesday. they scored an extra—time winner against the netherlands to go through. salma paralluelo came off the bench to score as spain beat the netherlands to reach the women's world cup semifinals for the first time. american ally ewing had quite the round on day two of the women's open at walton heath. she began as leader on li—under par and then carded a superb second round of 66, to have her move well clear on 10—under par. the chasing pack struggled to keep up, closest of all are fellow american andrea lee and minami katsu ofjapan on 5—under, as is england's charley hull. her round included some brilliant putting, including this birdie on the 11th hole. she is five off the lead. over to the world cycling championships in scotland, and great britain have enjoyed another successful day. gb'sjosh tarling took bronze in the men's elite time trial, with belgium's remco evenepoel taking gold. this is the first time the 19—year—old brit has competed in the men's elite at the world championships. ben wiggins won silver in the men's junior time trial. he's the 18—year—old son of five—time olympic champion and tour de france winner bradley wiggins. and he finished second to australia's 0scar chamberlain. his dad was in stirling to see his son's latest success. an impressive knock from jordan cox helped 0val invincibles edge out northern superchargers in the men's hundred. he smashed an unbeaten 73 off 48 balls as the invincibles posted an impressive total of 185—5. they eventually went on to win by nine runs and move two points clear at the top of the table. and in the women's fixture, phoebe litchfield hit 68 off 45 balls to set the superchargers up for a 14—run victory against the oval invincibles. the victory means they're up to third, one point off the top. stay up—to—date with all the latest of the bbc sport website that is it for me for the moment, bye—bye. hello. we had our brief spell of warmth in the last couple of days, and now that the weekend is here, of course, it's turning a little cooler and more unsettled. but don't get me wrong, it's not going to be awful. there will certainly be some fine weather around, some lengthy spells of sunshine, but quite a few showers around as well, brought by this area of low pressure just to the north—west of us right now. and this is how it's going to barrel across the uk during the course of the weekend, and the closer you are to the centre of this low pressure, the more frequent the showers will be. so, through the course of this evening and overnight, showers, quite frequent ones spreading into northern ireland by the morning, western scotland, perhaps the irish sea, wales, maybe the south, too, whereas many central and eastern parts of the uk should wake up to a bright, if not sunny, weather saturday morning with temperatures around 15—16 degrees. so a pleasant start to the day. and here's saturday itself — quite brisk winds around western coasts with these atlantic winds and a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of them could be heavy, could be a crack of thunder, most lengthy spells of sunshine, i think, in the south. and this pattern will continue into sunday as well. so, again, the closer you are to the centre of the low, the more frequent the showers will be and generally out towards the west, too. so london, norwich, hull probably faring best with fine weather, some spots could actually get away with a completely dry weekend. now, let's have a look at monday. the low pressure's still with us, but it is fizzling away. still have a weather front here, so that does mean that across east anglia and the southeast for a time on monday, it could be in the morning or lasting into the afternoon. difficult to say, but some cloud and rain certainly in the forecast. showers could break out also across scotland, but many areas towards the west actually fine weather to start the week. now, let's talk about the jet stream. it's still over us. it's been over us more or less all summer and at leastjuly into august. so this is where it will roughly be through the week, deflecting any heat coming our way from the south eastwards. but it could come close to the south later next week, so temperatures could rise. in fact, there is a hint — if you keep checking the apps, you'll notice that as you go beyond wednesday, thursday into friday, the temperatures keep rising and the weather turns a little bit drier and brighter. bye— bye. tonight at ten, at least 55 people have now died in wildfires which have ravaged the hawaiian island of maui. a charred and blackened landscape. this was the thriving tourist town of lahaina, much of it now ashes. here on the island of maui residents are now being allowed to return to work if anything is left of their homes in the devastated town of lahaina. they are being warned to brace for the emotional turmoil of what they were fine when they get there. and the other main stories on the programme tonight... a home for a matter of days. the barge housing asylum—seekers on the dorset coast is evacuated after its water supply is found to contain bacteria. desperate for a snap of england captain harry kane as he arrives in germany for a medical for his move to bayern munich from tottenham hotspur. and i will be live here in
