it's part of plans to make its entire passenger vehicle line—up in europe electric by 2030. we can speak to our business correspondent katie prescott. how much does this investment by ford help them to achieve that aim? it is really significant for halewood but also the transformation of the car industry as a whole. it's not long now until 2030, which is when petrol and diesel cars with traditional internal combustion engines will not be sold in the uk. there was a question over what would happen to this plant which made gearboxes for petrol cars. the fact it is going to be part of the electric vehicle market going forward has been seen as a vote of confidence for the uk car industry as a whole, as we move through this strange transitional period. i think we can hearfrom strange transitional period. i think we can hear from stuart rowley, the president of ford europe about this investment. this is our first investment in electrified components in europe and these power units, these are the components that take the energy from the battery and turn that into traction to drive

europe's first mission to mercury is completing its first flyby. the spacecraft will fly past planet at high speeds, taking pictures and sending them back to earth. it will begin more detailed observations in four years' time. i have been speaking to a scientist who told me what it hopes to achieve. this mission is a flagship mission, with a lot of plans to do science on mercury. there have only been two previous missions to mercury, one a long time ago, mariner 10, and then more recently nasa's messenger mission. and this one, bepicolombo, is designed to answer a lot of questions raised by the messenger mission. we mentioned in the introduction the spacecraft is shooting past mercury. it is not actually landing on the planet. what are we watching for in the coming hours? well, the main thing that this flyby is supposed to accomplish is to alter the orbit, alter the trajectory of the spacecraft, as it goes around the sun. they would love to be able to enter orbit right now, because that's after all the goal of this mission — to orbit mercury for

in berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation. the us congress votes to avoid a government shutdown but more tough negotiations lie head present biden. and tough questions for british police as the officer who raped and murdered sarah everard is jailed for life. in ecuador nearly 1000 police officers and army soldiers are involved in a major operation to regain control of a high security prison. at least 116 inmates have been killed in a riot which began on tuesday. after the massacre, the storming. these are images of a desperate attempt by authorities to get a handle in a situation that spiralled out of control. this footage released by the police shows the extent of the violence. more than 100 people dead, prisoners beheaded, shot and blown up. dozens more injured. a dispute broke out earlier this week in and inmates crawled through a hole to another wing and attacked rival gang members. they are believed to be linked to powerful cartels vying for territory. ecuador has become a battle ground that the lucrative cocaine trade as

it has since levelled up to be one of the most productive regions in europe. stoke poges new store of course have its problems, but they are overwhelmingly caused by the sheer lust of other people to live in or near stoke poges. too little time with the kids, the constant anxiety that you're a memorial view of chalk downland is good to be desecrated by ugly new homes, and that is why levelling up works for the whole country, that is the right and responsible policy because it helps to take pressure off parts of the overheating south—east while simultaneously offering hope and opportunity to those areas that have felt left behind. and let's be clear that there is a huge philosophical difference between us and labour, because in their souls, they don't like levelling up. they like levelling down. they do. they like decapitating the tall poppies and taxing the rich until the pips squeak, they dislike academic competition, and i have seenin academic competition, and i have seen in my own eyes in islington, the like kids to run races when nobody actually wins. an

the import from europe and what we have in the united kingdom will sustain us more than happily. but toys, electrical goods, white goods, it will be difficult to get them in. more than a third of the uk's freight container traffic is handled at felixstowe. shipping giant maersk is now re—routing some of its biggest ships away from the port to elsewhere to europe, using smaller vessels to unload goods in an attempt to ease supply chain pressure. adam's haulage business moves 100 containers a day, but a lack of space at felixstowe means his drivers are taking containers back to liverpool now instead. there is a massive backlog of deliveries created by the driver shortage, brexit and a number of other things. that has just all created a perfect storm. but this is a global issue, with similar situations in ports across the us, china and east asia too. problems here first began to emerge injuly. port officials say the situation at felixstowe has improved in the last few days. i am pretty confident in the ability of our colleagues to deliver on time and for the supply chains and reta
