Hello, i dont think we can dispute it has been a pretty wet start to october, hasnt it . Some places havent today, as, we are so much between two weather systems. Yesterdays tallied and this evening and overnights rain. Not as intense, but nevertheless was still a number of flood warnings in place a consignment in particular. We have had some sunshine today into the continued disease and sunshine, as well. The best virtual b in southern ireland, Northern England, but primarily up on the west of scotland. Few showers in eastern scotland, across wales and southern england is welcome and already waiting in the wings as you can see is the evening rainfor wings as you can see is the evening rain for Northern Ireland. But the positive is we have some sunshine, we have light winds and temperatures area we have light winds and temperatures are a little above average, so not too bad for mid october. Not at least today. However this evening and overnight, the wind strengthens, cloud starts to increase, it will arrest the fall in temperatures but give us a pretty soggy into the night for many. That should have dried up in Northern England by the time we get to the rush tomorrow morning. Sorry, Northern Ireland, but it will for the rest of us be a rather dreary one, healthful, gusty winds and that rain as well. It looks a little clear, fairly settled, parts of South West England and follow suit into eastern areas in the afternoon, and with light winds we will see very few showers and a ridge of high pressure. The big question tomorrow is whether we get another batch of rain coming close to southern england and how much we get them. That is when we are watching. Even after that moves away, come thursday and friday we have this next atlantic low moving on, the tightly packed isobars giving us an windy weather as well as the more wet weather in the form of showers, so it wont be a total wash out but again there were showers will really be heavy, at times some torrential downpours, eastern areas on thursday, ganging up eastern areas on thursday, ganging up further west and south where we could see some significant amounts of rain from those showers. Again because it is showers, not for all, and it will be very difficult to get the detail of exactly where they showers will be in the coming few days. With them, squally winds. In between them there will be some good spells of sunshine, but given there will be clear spells by night and the nights are longer now, there will be some chilly nights to come as well, but at the moment it is still looking very unsettled. Thank you. Good afternoon. It is 1 30pm, these are religious headlines. We will begin with the reaction following the incident and blood carry out last night. The Prime Minister borisjohnson carry out last night. The Prime Minister Boris Johnson has condemned, commended the england players in their handling of last nights recipes. Number ten called it violence and racism has no place in football anywhere else. Only foster is with me. Number ten also pointing the finger at uefa. I guess the big question is where are we at 110w the big question is where are we at now and what is going to follow . As you can imagine, condemnation from all quarters in the wake of that racist abuse that some of those england players face last night. It was a short statement from a number ten spokesman on behalf of Boris Johnson. Patently he says that uefa has now to face up to fax. He said this stain on football is not being adequately dealt with. He says be support the fas calls for an investigation with tough penalties to follow. We are writing to uefa today to ask this to be conducted swiftly. We saw the scenes are much they match last night in sofia was posed twice. These are steps one and two of that uefa protocol in dealing with racism on the pitch. We saw an orchestrated racism from that group of a0 or 50 ultra, who left seemingly on their own volition by half time. But now the pressure is going to be an uefa, who had their delegates there stop they will be waiting for the match referee to report back. And also the european arm ofa report back. And also the european arm of a Campaign Group against racism, they had spotters in the crowd, as well. They will be reporting to uefa jake special effort to make some announcement by the close of play today. That they will be conducting an investigation. They have dealt with two dozen cases of racism this year alone. It usually results in sanctions binds stadium closures, as well. But the pressure is now on uefa to do something to make an example perhaps bulgaria, because they are repeat offenders and vines and stadium closures just do not seem to be working. So, there is a real passion for uefa to take a firm stand. Use this as an opportunity to show that they really mean business when it comes to tackling racism in the european game. This is a statement from that Campaign Group. We think that after what happened uefa has the power to keep bulgari out of the euro 2020 qualification per share. There have been too many incidents, too much collected from the bulgarian usa. They should make an example of gary and at bay and expel them. Earlier this morning we heard that the Bulgarian Government were taking a very Quick Response to this. The bulgarian pie minister was calling for the resignation of the president of the bulgarian Football Association, borislav mihaylov. He says he condemned me is that he strongly condemns the behaviour of some of the people in the stadium of a piece as they are one of the most tolera nt a piece as they are one of the most tolerant countries. We have just been hearing that the president of the bulgarian fa has refused to stand down, saying he will not tolerate any political interference. That is what is happening internally, but the pressure is really on uefa now to take a shock sta nce really on uefa now to take a shock stance against this. That pressure could grow when we hear from stance against this. That pressure could grow when we hearfrom uefa on possible sanctions are due course. The biggest thing to come out of all of this, arguably, is aware that the england players handled themselves last night, the weather manager, Gareth Southgate, handles himself, as well. And we heard portions and commend him for that. Commendation for all those players and the way that they conducted themselves in the face of such racism. Especially the face of such racism. Especially the three players who started that match, who all came out afterwards saying it was clear as day the racism that they face. They made it to the end of the match, the racism did decrease it seemed in the second half. That is by uefa and i delegates did not go to step three. Step three would have been the abandonment of the match. But raheem sterling, who has always been very vocal at the forefront of issues against racism, said look, now is the time to stamp it out. These are just idiots in bulgaria. He was commending the bulgarian payments, as well, raheem sterling, saying well done for calling for the resignation of the head of the fa. By resignation of the head of the fa. By pointing out that the chairman of the fa was there last night stop liaised very closely with the players and Gareth Southgate, making sure that they were ok. Gareth southgate himself checked that the players were ok to continue, those who had been targeted. But i think the most sobering thing about this, they were very quick to say, this is not just a bulgarian they were very quick to say, this is notjust a bulgarian issue, this is just not an issue on the continent, the fa, we have issues, as well, within this country. Gareth southgate, i think this puts things in perspective. He says sadly my players when asked whether they might be scarred by the experiences last night, he said sadly, because of their experiences in our own country, they are hardened to racism. Many thanks indeed for that. It isa racism. Many thanks indeed for that. It is a story we will be covering in great detail at the bbc sport centre today. Do not forget the rest of the days had lined over on the website, as well as for now, that is all for me. The have another update at half past two. More now on the racist abuse suffered by england players during last nights european qualifier against bulgaria in sofia. Borisjohnson has described the actions of bulgarian fans as vile and said they have no place in football or anywhere else. This was echoed by the sports minister, nigel adams who was answering an urgent question on the matter in the commons in the last hour. Whether you are a player, a manager, a supporter, in member of the staff, no participant in sport should have to tolerate discrimination of any kind. Cani to tolerate discrimination of any kind. Can i also start, mr speaker, by paying tribute to the leadership shown by Gareth Southgate and his coaching team, as well as all the players for how they conducted themselves in appalling circumstances during and after the match. I have also spoken this morning to the chief exec of the Football Association to express my support to Gareth Southgate, his tea m support to Gareth Southgate, his team and all the support staff of the fa in the way they conducted themselves. We have made progress in this country to combat discrimination in our domestic game and make ourstadium more discrimination in our domestic game and make our stadium more welcoming places to be. The government is supporting a number of different antiracism initiatives, including the premier leagues no room for racism, show racism the red card and the kick it out campaigns. All of which have achieved a great deal in this area. In february, this year, my predecessor in this rule held a summit on discrimination with a range of bodies acting within football. That, mr speaker, it is clear we cannot be complacent. We must remain a leading voice on this issue internationally. International competition such as their shipping cultures and countries together. While it was a step in the right direction to see the uefa protocol engaged last night, i understand for the first time, it is clear that much more that needs to be done to stamp out racism in the game. I am also encouraged by the reaction of the bulgarian Prime Minister who has spoken out and called for changes at the bulgarian Football Association. U efa the bulgarian Football Association. Uefa must now cat the response rights, leaving no doubt that the consequences of failing to tackle this issue will be severe. I am writing today to the uefa president urging him to conclude their investigation safely and to ensure that all football authorities and fa ns that all football authorities and fans are clear that, again, the consequences of failing to tackle this issue will be severe. Mr speaker, the england team has my full support and i expect tough action from uefa in response. The sport minister speaking in the last hour. More now on the report from the Care Quality Commission which says a perfect storm of increased demand and Staff Shortages means that people with learning disabilities england are still being locked up in unsuitable secure units. The report also warns that more than half of englands accident and Emergency Departments are not good enough. The department of health and social care has responded by saying that its committed to providing everyone with the best quality care. Sean duggan, chief executive of the Mental Health network of the Nhs Confederation which represents nhs Mental Health service providersjoins me now via webcam. Thanks forjoining us. Why is this proving so difficult to sort out . Good afternoon. Thank you. It is proving difficult because it is a very simple factor that Mental Health and instabilities have been the area that has been an investor for many years. And learning difficulties. It does go back a lot of years. We are now trying to address that, we are in the middle ofa address that, we are in the middle of a five year plan. We are about three years into it. Money is starting to get into the services for Mental Health and learning disabilities. Thats money will be quicker access to help people get treated and cared for in your home. So this report showing that we are going out there yet. It says more than that, does that . And says the quality of services is deteriorating. As always with these plans, it takes time for that investment to get in and get properly established. It is starting to reassure people, it is starting to reassure people, it is starting to happen. But it will take a good few years. They must important thing is that we are confident that further money and investment will go into service over the next five years, otherwise we would not address as particular issue. And all that the major music is that that is going to happen. The other massive factory is work force, are we going to have the right people to deliver the care that we want to in these plans . That is a real challenge for the providers that i represent, that is one of the major challenges to ensure that the nurses, doctors and therapists are all in place. We also need for the workforce to think very, work skills and other factors to chinas people into Mental Health services. As you say, this is long term. The frustration from the families is palpable. We heard from a woman short time ago his son was 200 miles away. She said heber is being held in a seclusion room, locked away performance. She tried getting back to be supported in the community. These are totally u na cce pta ble community. These are totally unacceptable cases. We cannot accept that as we go for a bit over the next four years. What is required, asi next four years. What is required, as i said, proper investment and also it is notjust a Mental Health and learning disability providers that consult this, it has to be done with education, the voluntary sector and the independent sector, all sectors working together closely. That is happening, because in Mental Health it is very complex to provide the range of treatments that is required. It is not about medicine and medical care, it is about social care. So, the one, i have to say, they want big threat we have Going Forward is if we do not get money into social care and local authorities, thatll make the plant 100 harder to implement. Authorities, thatll make the plant 10096 harder to implement. This is just not about money now, is it . It is about to be small number of people we are talking about. It is more about the organisation and delivering and, as you say, the lack of skills that the staff are treating these people have. Of skills that the staff are treating these people havem of skills that the staff are treating these people have. It is about money and the workforce. Because it is about management and leadership and, you know, i have to say that fantastic, really incredible managers locally chime to put this right. It is hard and it gets back to the fact that it is, this particular area has not had the attention is required over the years and it has caught up with us. However, we will be able to put a child, but it will take a little time longer and yes, youre absolutely right, it is all factors. It isa absolutely right, it is all factors. It is a complex problem. Management and leadership is an issue, too, which is being addressed. Thank you very much. Michel barnier says a deal can still be done. The government has demanded action from fit bubbles might governing body uefa after last nights in the match was marred by racist chants. Mps have called on former thomas cook executives to hand back their bonuses after the travel Firm Collapse. A new International Study suggests that a cheap and widely available drug could save hundreds of thousands of people from traumatic brain injuries. The Research Suggests tran examic acid, or txa, can significantly improve some patients chances of survival. Almost 70 Million People suffer these kinds of injuries every year, usually as a result of Car Accidents and falls. Our Global Health correspondent Tulip Mazumdar reports. In a brief moment, a head injury can change a persons life forever. Five years ago, pam foley fell off her bike in oxford. All i remember is one minute on my bike, next minute, on the ground, trying to get up. I knew i was stunned but i didnt realise how. How much i had hurt myself. Pam had fractured her skull and suffered a bleed on her brain. She did make a good recovery, but lost her sense of smell and taste. Its a constant reminder of the pleasures that can be had from simple smells. I really miss the smell of freshly cut grass, i loved that smell. This is a ct scan of a patients brain. This is unfortunately a young man who was punched and fell to the ground. There are currently very few Treatment Options for patients whove suffered these types of injuries, particularly in low and middle income countries. Patients can need surgery to ease pressure on the brain, or life support equipment. Researchers, though, say now theres another option, a simple injection of tranexamic acid. When patients are bleeding into their brain, naturally two processes occur simultaneously. The process of clotting and of breaking down the clot. Tranexamic acid stops the breakdown of the clot, so allows the clot to form more effectively, and hence reduces and stops the bleeding. This is tranexamic acid. Its been around for decades and was originally us
