we also hear more about the progress of europe's first mission to mercury. hello and welcome if you are watching here in the uk, or around the world. london's police force, the metropolitan police, has explained how it intends to better protect women and girls following the murder of sarah everard. yesterday, wayne couzens, a serving officer with the met, was given a whole life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing sarah in march. the head of the force, dame cressida dick, has faced repeated calls to resign — but she says lessons will be learnt. let's look at how the met is trying to reassure the public. anyone stopped by a lone plain clothes police officer can challenge their legitimacy, and request to speak to an operator on a police radio to check if the stop is genuine. plain clothes officers will not be deployed on their own, and will be in pairs. an extra 650 new officers will patrol busy public areas in london where women have concerns about their safety. and the independent office for police conduct is investigating a group of officers who

and there are just hours to go until the culmination of europe's first mission to mercury. he though. hello. there could be a breakthrough in the way we treat covid—19. interim trials suggest that a new experimental drug for severe covid cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half. if authorised by regulators, the new drug which comes in the form of a pill would be the first oral antiviral medication for covid—19. our health correspondent james reed has more. on the surface, these are very positive results, and they've come through much earlier than we were expecting. so the way that these trials work, you give half the people in the trial this medication, you give the other half a placebo — or dummy — pill, and you compare what the outcomes are. and in this case, 7% of people in the trial that were given this medication that had covid or had just been infected with covid ended up going into hospital. in the placebo arms — they hadn't had this medication — it was twice that, it was 14%. so that's where you get that really positive result — it cuts

farming unions, who are calling for more visas to be issued to allow skilled workers from mainland europe to enter the uk. our rural affairs correspondent, claire marshall, reports. pig farmers say they're desperate and in despair at the impact of the staffing crisis facing many abbatoirs. if mature pigs can't be taken away, it leads to overcrowding on farms, which could cause serious animal welfare and hygiene issues. once pigs get too big, retailers don't want to buy them. a friend of the farmer who was forced to slaughter his piglets on his farm said he'd been destroyed by it. according to the british meat processors association, before brexit and the pandemic, around 80% of the staff in two of the uk's biggest meat processing centres were from eastern europe. the government recently created temporary visas for lorry drivers we have tried to do everything in terms of increasing wages and things like that but lots of people, there are lots ofjob vacancies out there at the moment. it is really hard to recruit. particularly, what we need a skilled butcher is to do this and this isn't some

injuly, england became the first nation in europe to fully unlock. other countries have followed, but they have taken a more cautious approach. as this graph shows, the uk has one of the highest covid rates in europe, well above that of france and germany, but if you look at the daily covid deaths, while the uk is still higher, a real concern for health leaders, the gap between the countries shrinks. this is an example of the power of the vaccination programme, providing vital protection to those most at risk. how will we cope this winter? the government hopes vaccines will protect us this winter, with more than two million booster jabs administered in england alone. to protect schoolchildren, where infections are highest, covid jabs are being rolled out to over 12s, while the flu vaccine is available to under 16s. logistical problems, staff shortages and issues with obtaining consent have caused delays, potentially until the end of november, and prompting calls for other measures like face coverings to be brought in. vaccination will help eventually

across europe have gathered a lot of respect. in europe there is probably a greater appreciation of what we have done in the way we have played that there has been here. that is reassuring because you want the respect of your peers and i think they have recognised where we have been over the last 30 years or so and there are signs that we are starting to show and the ability of the players to play in a certain style. chelsea midfielder mason mount could feature later, fresh from his place on the shortlist of nominees for football's prestigious ballon d'0r. he joins the likes of lionel messi and cristiano ronaldo, alongside harry kane, raheem sterling and phil foden, who are also nominated. not that he expects to win it. it was special. i probably found out exactly the same time as everyone else. to see that and to see the names, to be alongside those names, it is obviously a dream and i think for all the years that you work hard, dedicate, then you see something like that, you can see that it pays off. and it's just a start, it d

the weather events that we saw in europe this summer could happen here in england, and we need to be ready to save lives. we need to recognise that it's adapt or die. the environment agency is being deliberately blunt so that its recommendations are heard. for homeowners and businesses to take basic steps to make their properties safe. to restore landscapes like forests so that they hold rain water before it causes floods. and for bigger investments by governments in defences that can handle projected rises in sea levels. already the thames barrier, defending london, is being closed far more often than planned — a trend that will continue as the polar ice keeps melting, raising the height of the oceans. with its network of tunnels under the river, the barrier was designed decades ago and may not be big enough in future. the great steel gates are holding back a phenomenal volume of sea water that would otherwise enter the city and potentially cause disaster, which is why climate change matters so much here. they're constantly watching the projections for how much the sea is going to

there is no problem in terms of availability of money and i believe in europe and in north america clean energy projects and the capital will meet. the issue is the emerging countries, developing countries because the bulk of the emissions growth comes from asia and other countries around the world, other emerging countries around the world and it is also very important that in cop26 government leaders around the world come together, unite and give an unmistakable signal to investors saying that, you, investor, you see that we are united to be the clean energy future. clean, modern, resilient and secure energy future. if you continue to invest in the old energy, you may well lose money. but how do we ramp up clean energy supply, without creating major disruptive shortages. look what happened in the uk recently. gas was running short at a time when wind power was failing to deliver. maybe the answer is a new type of energy. 0ne we have not yet perfected. and one of the most promising solutions if nuclear fusion. right now scientists are trying to harness the power created when two small a
