the stunning entries for this year's wildlife photographer of the year competition we'll speak to one of the photographers and one of the judges. grant shapps is appointed defence secretary and promises to continue the uk's support for ukraine. more now on the news that rishi sunak has reshuffled his cabinet for what is expected to be the last time before the next election. let's the next election. go back to larissa. wejust briefly let's go back to larissa. we just briefly ran out of time and that previous segment but i went to pick up previous segment but i went to pick up on some things that we were talking about, ben wallace, a former soldier, his credentials are not just with the war in ukraine, but also as someone who is very much involved in terms of afghanistan, the interpreters, you've written a book about that. bring us up—to—date on what is happening there. i liaise on what is happening there. i have been campaigning _ on what is happening there. i have been campaigning for— on what is happening there. i have been campaigning for years - on what is happening there. i have been campaigning for years now, i been campaigning for years now, 2015, for the british government to change its policy on afghan interpreters and let more of them into the uk. i have faced a lot of stumbling blocks and many ministers were very reluctant to change that policy. i have to say when ben wallace came in, he did see it as one of his mainjobs to wallace came in, he did see it as one of his main jobs to overhaul that policy. and to help more people. and he is a people person, he cares about people and he cared about afghanistan and i think as a former soldier, about afghanistan and i think as a formersoldier, he about afghanistan and i think as a former soldier, he did understand the value of the interpreters. and with all that in mind, i did write a book which is out today about one family in particular who managed to come to the uk because of ben wallace. it also about the wider issue of interpreters and lots of different stories of those who suffered as a result of their work with the british forces. figs suffered as a result of their work with the british forces.— suffered as a result of their work with the british forces. as you say, because of— with the british forces. as you say, because of his _ with the british forces. as you say, because of his own _ with the british forces. as you say, because of his own back _ with the british forces. as you say, because of his own back on, - with the british forces. as you say, because of his own back on, i - because of his own back on, i suppose in many ways, he could relate to what those afghan interpreters who were left behind trying to seek asylum in the uk were feeling. but one thing that also happened was the white house did not back his bid to become nato secretary—general and replace yen stoltenberg. secretary-general and replace yen stoltenberg-_ stoltenberg. know and i think the former defence _ stoltenberg. know and i think the former defence secretary - stoltenberg. know and i think the former defence secretary was - former defence secretary was extremely disappointed by that. it was clear to me that he wanted that job for a while and he saw that as his next big move. i think people close to him, i was actually speaking to at the time, were quite surprised that he was not backed and it is not clear exactly what ben wallace will do next. i'm sure he will be successful because he has probably built up a lot of valuable contacts during his time in the ministry of defence and as previous security minister. yes, i think that was the big shock for him. larissa, really grateful _ was the big shock for him. larissa, really grateful that _ was the big shock for him. larissa, really grateful that you _ was the big shock for him. larissa, really grateful that you stayed - was the big shock for him. larissa, really grateful that you stayed on | really grateful that you stayed on and continued to talk with us. the key so much. the outgoing defence secretary ben wallace has been replaced by the energy secretary grant schapps in what is his fifth ministerial appointment in 5 years he in turn has been replaced in his former role by education minister claire coutinho who becomes the youngest cabinet minister at 38. lets get some more from the observer columnist & chief leader writer, sonia sodha. thank you forjoining us. we were to speak in there about ben wallace and the difference between ben wallace and grant shapps, but some are interpreting all of this change of personnel at the ministry of defence, really, as a part of a wider reshuffle. it’s defence, really, as a part of a wider reshuffle.— defence, really, as a part of a wider reshuffle. it's not as a wide of a reshuffle _ wider reshuffle. it's not as a wide of a reshuffle as _ wider reshuffle. it's not as a wide of a reshuffle as the _ of a reshuffle as the prime minister, rishi sunak, could have gone for, that's for sure. because you are essentially moving one person out and then that frees up, you move someone in and that frees up you move someone in and that frees up another cabinet position. so some people have been predicting he would do a more widespread reshuffle, but i think you do have to see this in terms of politics. because if he were really committed to having stable policy, people with briefs in column it, it is hard to see where rishi sunak would have moved ben wallace after that position. we know that there were tensions between the two of them because ben wallace was a big fan of higher defence spending and we know that rishi sunak was looking to appoint more political allies to his cabinet. that's what you see here with grant shapps who is an ally of him moving into that defencejob and then is an ally of him moving into that defence job and then claire coutinho who is a former special adviser to rishi sunak, very close political ally, she being moved from children's minister, a junior minister in the department for education, into the position of energy secretary, net zero secretary. and she is the only person from the 29 intake and the first person elected in 2019 to become a conservative mp who has made it into cabinet. so a pretty stellar rise for her. i think it is because rishi sunak knows he is going to have a troubled year i had going to have a troubled year i had going into the election and he wants to make sure that he has allies in key cabinet positions. absolutely, as ou key cabinet positions. absolutely, as you have _ key cabinet positions. absolutely, as you have set, _ key cabinet positions. absolutely, as you have set, a _ key cabinet positions. absolutely, as you have set, a few _ key cabinet positions. absolutely, as you have set, a few eyebrows l as you have set, a few eyebrows raised over the position that grant shapps is now in, but also the fact is this energy portfolio is also a major portfolio. it is is this energy portfolio is also a major portfolio.— major portfolio. it is a really ma'or major portfolio. it is a really major portfolio. _ major portfolio. it is a really major portfolio. at - major portfolio. it is a really major portfolio. at least - major portfolio. it is a really i major portfolio. at least claire coutinho, if you look at her track record, she does have a history of being involved in green campaigns on the conservative side. so she has been involved in the conservative green caucus, the conservative environmental network empowerment so it is an interest for her and i think some people would see this as an interesting appointment. if you look at campaigners who have been trying to push the government harder on their commitments on net zero, on the environment, there is no love lost between that and grant shapps. i think some will look at claire coutinho and hope that there is somebody there who has a bit more of a track record on speaking out on environmental issues. rishi sunak, lately, it's interesting, he has been trying to create a political dividing line with labour on what the environment and trying to associate, i think, the environment and trying to associate, ithink, unsuccessfully, the labour party with causes such as just stopped oil in some of their tactics. so he is beenjust trying to make it in a political issue, a argue for or against protecting the environment which is obviously not working painters want them to be. perhaps this appointment of claire coutinho signals a slight shift in position on conservatives on environment policy but we will have to be in c. ., ~ environment policy but we will have to be inc. ., ~' environment policy but we will have tobeinc. ., ~ . ., to be in c. thank you so much for all of your— to be in c. thank you so much for all of your analysis _ to be in c. thank you so much for all of your analysis there, - to be in c. thank you so much for all of your analysis there, sonja. | a video of the spanish football playerjenni hermoso is being used by national federation president luis rubiales as evidence that he did nothing wrong when he kissed her on the lips at the end of the world cup final. the video, which has been posted online, showsjenni hermoso's team mates in high spirits on the team bus after their victory over england and they are teasing her about the kiss. the spanish federation has called on mr rubiales to resign over the incident. meanwhile, spain's goalkeeper catalina coll has told the bbc she's disappointed the win has been overshadowed by the kissing incident. she said people who stop her on the street want to talk to her about the kiss rather than offering congratulations. translation: i feel sorry that the 23 footballers - aren't the protagonists. what i'm disappointed about is that now everyone who stops you on the street talks to you about this rather than say congratulations on the world cup, or they do congratulate you, but then switch to the scandal. i think you're sad about all this, but hey, i believe in trust that everything is going to be fixed and that everything is going to be ok. for more on this, i spoke earlier to footballjournalist semra hunter. she says the story has caputured national attention. and it's spilt over in so many ways and it's become more about socialjustice now. eitan abdul—mahdi was just at the champions league draw for uefa. she was just on stage picking up her award for the women's best player of the year, and she was talking about this very thing and how she's really devastated as well, like adelina, her team—mate, that the world isn't talking about their incredible achievement, but she utilises the opportunity as well to say that we cannot, as a society have abuse of power in a working relationship. these things have to be fixed, we have to do better. and that she is going to stand, as well as the rest of her team—mates alongside jenni hermoso, to do whatever they can to get the justice that they feel as though they deserve. and quite frankly, they're asking for respect and equality. they're not asking for much more than that. so she very much echoed the same sentiments that catalina coll was talking about in that interview with the bbc. so it really has become much more aboutjust the actual incident itself. it's more about fighting for women's rights, fighting for their equality, for not having sexist and misogynistic abuse and treatments any more in a wider sense, because, of course, football in many ways does reflect what happens elsewhere. and so it really has created such a conversation now around all of this, both amongst men and women, children as well, and older people, to figure out what it is that we can do better to identify normalise behaviours and patterns and behaviours as it relates to sexism and machismo within spanish society and how we can actually improve. absolutely. as you say, so many people are saying, is this spain's metoo moment beyond football? moment beyond football, as a society, it's a conversation that the nation is having with itself. and as you say, it's been wall to wall coverage of this for more than a week now. butjust bring us up to date on what's happening with luis rubiales, because every day has been so incredibly dramatic. and what is the latest today? it definitely is a telenovela. let's see. as of today from luis rubiales himself, not a peep. mum's the word. we haven't heard anything as to what he's thinking or planning, whether he is going to step down or if he's going to continue to fight it. in relation to his mother, who was locked in a church going on a hunger strike, she ended up going to the hospital last night, but she was released this morning after being given the all clear. juan rubiales, who is his uncle and also used to be the chief of staff at the federation. he had spoken out previously before, in the past, the media well, he did another bombshell of an interview yesterday where he talked a lot about the character and the personality and just who is his nephew. and also, as it relates to a long string of long string, sorry, of controversies and scandals. as for the two presidents sorry, the two head coaches within the spanish national setup, a lot of people have been asking for both of them to be removed as well as they feel as though they're very much part of the problem. as it relates tojorge valda and luis de la fuente, we have heard today from pedro rocha, who is the new president of the federation at present. he came up today, said that as of right now, he can't say whetherjorge will or will not continue as a women's national team coach. they have a meeting set up for next week. he says they haven't spoken as of yet and as soon as they make a decision, he will let everyone know. as it relates to luis de la fuente, the men's national team coach, he says totally. he has the backing of the federation. he will stay, which is quite an interesting choice development. and ijust wanted to ask you about this video ofjenni hermoso that's also making its rounds. and luis rubiales, his team is now trying to use that to to sort of say, well, it was consensual. yes. and i think it's a very dangerous thing to do because it has sparked the reaction, i think, that he was after there have been a lot of people who have looked at this video and said, see, she doesn't look like a victim. she doesn't seem upset. she's having a joke. she's having a laugh. but the thing is, you can't mix that with the actual act itself. there are two completely separate things, and the act in of itself was completely inappropriate. and so there has been a lot of response on the other side, trying to explain why maybejenny was behaving this way on the bus from women who have been on the ends of harassment, sexual harassment. and they said, well, what do you want from her? i mean, he put her in a very impossible situation. whether she pushed him, she punched him, she kicked him, whatever. in the moment that it happened in the case, she was always going to get criticism. it never would have been the right reaction. so he put her in a spot where there was really not much she could do. and as i say, i think it's really important we separate what he did and now what he's trying to do in terms of trying to justify his actions. and unfortunately, now a lot of people are looking at her in a different light. she's been receiving all kinds of abuse on social media. and she's obviously now, from what we hear kind of in in her home with herfamily and trying to deal with all of this. and she's not handling it very well, of course. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. they've got a good amount of school uniforms and pe kits here. used clothes are collected at schools across nottingham and washed before being given to families who need some extra help. in the current financial climate demand is increasing. this summer compared to last summer, we're dealing with around 55 children a week needing uniform, whereas last year it was about 28 a week, so it's roughly doubled. we're getting a lot more referrals from different agencies. people who use this charity say it's a vital service. the cost of food in addition to the cost of uniform is massive. but along with that, they're also expressing great appreciation for the uniform project for a service like this. they're grateful that something like this exists. at the moment, they only supply primary school uniforms. the charity hopes that one day it can find ways to provide secondary school uniforms as well. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news

seems to just keep piling hours a day and 365 days a year. it seems tojust keep piling up. i mean that sincerely. i admire what you do. in almost every one of the areas we have been talking about that

rodeo, a hidden stargazer and a mason bee at work are just a few of the images featured in the 59th wildlife photographer of the year competition. some of the �*highly commended' images have been released, today including this ghostly photograph of a fish. the natural history museum will unveil the latest exhibition showcasing the top 100 photographs from around the world on october 13th in london. i've been talking to photographer pietro formis who took one the competition's highly commended images of a stargazer fish. and richard sabin from the natural history museum who is one of the judges. i began by asking pietro about his winning picture of the stargazer fish. like a mask. like a human face emerging from a water coating. and this is a quite common fish in italy. it's not easy to spot because it's always buried under the sand. and the only thing you can see emerging from the bottom are the eyes. so that is called stargazer. and so how did you find it? you're clearly an underwater photographer. were you looking for it, or was it sort of taken by chance? usually you go searching for some subject in different ives, but all these objects that are not so visible, there is nothing that can give you the presence. you have to be very lucky. you have to watch in the sand and hoping to get some eye or some movement, because these fish have a very strange tongue that looks like a worm, which attracts those fishes. they come very close and they swallow them when they are close enough. yeah, it looks really sort of... we're looking at it right now. it looks really sort of almost spooky. i'm just going to bring in richard into the conversation. richard, some of these photographs are just absolutely mind—boggling and extraordinary. it must be so tough judging them. it really is, when you think that we actually start off with, this year, it was 50,000 entries from around the world, 95 different countries. they have to be whittled down to, unfortunately, down to 4,000. and then it's the judges' role to select the the 100 which will go into the exhibition for this year, but also the category winners. we're astounded, always astounded by the quality, by the diversity of the images, by the different skill sets that people have, by the patience that people have. but pietro's image is a great example ofjust how surprising and shocking and really just beautiful i think that these images can be. yeah, absolutely. as you say, some of them are so surprising. like, how were they able to capture that particular moment? we've got one of an elephant, that i want to just bring up onto oui’ screen. and richard, if you can just talk us through it, because... yeah, itjust it's such an almost fun moment. yeah, it is a fun moment on the face of things. but unfortunately, that image tells a completely different story. the image actually shows us an animal that had been struck by a train and was trying to be... the people in the photograph are trying to free the animal. so, again, this isjust how powerful these images can be. you know, on the face of it, they can say one thing. they're all accompanied, of course, by the narrative that the photographer produces and sends in with the image. but, you know, ithink the power of the image is that it holds the viewer there. it allows you to look at the details. and then with the power of the narrative, shows you these different layers, these different sets of information. wildlife photographer of the year there. that is it for me and the team here. christian is coming up with the context but left the street to the weather. hello there. low pressure and its weather fronts brought a rather cloudy, damp day to many central, southern and western parts of the uk. quite a bit of sunshine though across scotland and north—east england. as we head into friday, this area of low pressure will be weakening, fizzling out and conditions will be improving. as we head into the weekend, into next week, high pressure will bring dry, sunny, warm weather for many of us. so these weather fronts then continue to bring outbreaks of rain through the evening and overnight we could see an area of thundery rain move through the channel. may just graze southern counties of england certainly wet nights in store for the channel islands. further north, rather cloudy with some patchy light rain and drizzle. quite a mild night in the south but under clear skies in scotland. it'll be quite chilly. so for friday we start off with plenty of sunshine across most of scotland. southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england will see this weakening weather front — some spots of rain on it. it'll also be brightening up across other parts of england and wales through the afternoon, some sunshine, also a few showers on the heavy side in places and feeling warmer — up to 22 degrees. as we move through friday night, that weather front across central areas will continue to fizzle out. clouds break up and we'll see increasing clear skies, but that way leads to mist and fog to develop by dawn, certainly across parts of england, wales into northern ireland. a mild night to come again first thing saturday. but it's not going to be quite as much as what we'll expect tonight. weekend, then, is looking dry, sunny and warm. thanks to high pressure building in there mayjust be the odd shower and we will see these weather fronts just flirting with the far north of scotland. 0therwise, most places will be fine and settled. we do start, though, with the mist and fog, some low cloud through saturday morning and then that will tend to lift and burn away and we should see plenty of sunshine. could develop into just the odd isolated shower across england and wales, but most places will be dry. it'll feel warmer up to 23 degrees in the south, 20 degrees through central and eastern scotland. sunday we do it all again — some early mist and fog that will clear to plenty of sunshine. this weather front will bring some wet and breezy weather to the north and west of scotland. 18 degrees there for stornoway, but warmer further south — 2a, 25 degrees across some central and southern areas. and that fine, dry, sunny, warm weather continues for the upcoming week. but towards the end of the week, we'll start to see some showers moving in off the atlantic. take care. hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. i can confirm that we have managed to retrieve 7a bodies. johannesburg has never had an incident like this where so many people die as a result of a fire in the centre of the city. so this is tragic. when we woke up... so we found the whole building — the fire, it was all over. - so other people started jumping outside. - a towering inferno, that kills at least 76 people in south africa. the emergency services said people were leaping to their deaths from fifth floor windows, to escape the flames. we will be live tonight injohannesburg where the grim task of recovery is under way. also tonight, we will be live in florida where tens of thousands of people are still without power. hurricane idalia caused significant damage along the gulf coast, where the clean up is under way. and a special report this evening on the influencer andrew tate, charged in romania with rape and human trafficking. it is an appalling tragedy.
