And scotland will be fully or partially closed today, because of concerns about crumbling concrete. Investigations are also under way in schools in wales and Northern Ireland. Ministers have promised to speed up checks on schools where the material, known as raac, may have been used. 0ur reporter Louisa Pilbeam reports. From the midlands to suffolk. And london. More than 100 schools in england look like this today, with buildings roped off and closed on what for many should be the first day of the new term. The problem crumbling concrete called raac, meaning many schools are unsafe. Sarah, a mum of two who didnt want to be on camera, told us. The main issue for me is we dont have any certainty about when the children are going Back To School. The lack of certainty right now is worrying for everyone. The school havent been that specific about the actual meanwhile, on social media sites, including mumsnet, one parent said. The government has been criticised for not acting faster despite concerns being raised. But some parents believe ministers are doing their best. Safety is paramount at the end of the day. Theres a reason why the schools are doing this. You know, theyre being told by the government to close and to get it sorted and thats what theyre doing. Labour say if the government doesnt publish a full list of affected schools, theyll force a vote in the House Of Commons this week to make them. Its a scandal that parents are being left in the darkjust at the point of the new school term starting. Ministers need to be upfront, publish that list and get a grip. Schools in scotland, wales and Northern Ireland are also being assessed. In scotland, raac has been detected in 35 schools, but first minister humza yousaf said he had no plans to close any schools in the short term. Some Court Buildings and hospitals are also impacted, with the scale of the problem yet to be fully realised. Good morning, sir. Chancellorjeremy hunt has said he will spend what it takes to make the schools affected safe. As some parents try to juggle their children being kept away from school today after a turbulent time in their education, the government is under pressure to reveal precisely which schools are at risk and what they are going to do about it. Louisa pilbeam, bbc news. We can speak now to our reporter kathryn stanczyszyn, who is at one of the schools affected, Aylesford School in warwick. Morning, kathryn. What is going to happen at the school where you are today .

I dilated the new school year for some up and down the country as you have been hearing, there is a delay to the new school year. And its all to do with raac, this type of concrete that most of us had not heard of before the last few days, reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, a less robust more lightweight form of concrete that was used in lots of buildings like schools between the 60s and 90s, and it has a shelf life of 30 years which many schools are rapidly approaching now. That is where the concerns about safety are coming from. We know over 150 schools are affected, 52 deemed so dangerous they have to carry out immediate structural works, the others are being looked into but schools i told they cannot use those spaces. That means partial closures, a logistical headache, that is what is happening here. Year seven pupils will be starting today, year 12 pupils on wednesday, but none of the other secondary pupils will begin until next monday. That is what the school says and they cannot guarantee that either. In a statement on the website it says, its well known many School Buildings built in the 1960s were constructed using methods that would not be used today. Unfortunately during work this summer, contractors have found a number of issues that need immediate attention and they have been forced to close a significant area of the school while work continues. We will be talking to the parents here later. There are questions for government about the timing of this and the urgency of it happening right before the start of the new term, some say with a construction time bomb like this, why wasnt it higher up on a Priority List somewhere . The government says they have been acting on evidence as soon as they have got it and some of that has been very recent evidence. They are being pushed to publish the full list of schools affected, they say they would rather directly communicated with parents than they have that Centralised List somewhere. You had the chancellor jeremy hunt saying yesterday they will spend their money necessary to make schools safe but in the meantime quite a lot of disruption and worry at the start of the school year. The education secretary, Gillian Keegan, Will Bejoining us at 7. 30 this morning. The Labour Leader sir keir starmer is expected to reshuffle his Shadow Cabinet later. The changes will coincide with the return of mps to Parliament Following their summer break. We can speak now to our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, who is in westminster. Morning, henry. Are we expecting any significant changes to labour� s front bench . I significant changes to labours front bench . Significant changes to labours front bench . ~. ,. , , front bench . I know that we shuttles are one of those front bench . I know that we shuttles are one of those things front bench . I know that we shuttles are one of those things that front bench . I know that we shuttles are one of those things that happens in westminster where those of us here get very excited but its a bit hard to understand why or even if they matter. This one i think really matters. Fora they matter. This one i think really matters. For a few different reasons. This is one significant change we are expecting, Angela Rayner, keir starmer� s deputy, will get a newjob. Rayner, keir starmer� s deputy, will geta newjob. She rayner, keir starmer� s deputy, will get a newjob. She will remain his deputy, she was elected to that, but we expect she will be giving a new government to shadow, is to be levelling up which is a fancy word for housing and local government. Keir starmer� s leadership has been rocky at points, there have been moments where labour mps have been uncomfortable with his Pole Position and the direction he is taking the party is, this is not one of those moments. You now has complete authority to shape his Shadow Cabinet how he likes. The decision he makes later will give as a guide to what the man who could be our next Prime Minister thinks about politics, issues of tax, spending, all sorts of other things. The final reason that this really matters is that there is going to be a general election next year almost certainly, possibly even as soon as the spring. And if you look at the opinion polls, keir starmer could plausibly become Prime Minister. So when we get that list of names, his new Shadow Cabinet later today, what we are really getting is a list of the people who could be running the country as soon as fairly and next year. And that i think is the most important thing we will take away from today. Important thing we will take away from today important thing we will take away from toda. ~ ,. From today. Thank you very much, hen. Ukrainian generals claim they have broken through russias defence lines in the south.

I want to know, Have You Ever Seen The Rain . Theyve seen it here. Whats thought to be the longest, heaviest rainfall since this festival was launched 37 years ago. The day before people were due to start heading home, the Dusty Desert Sand was transformed into a quagmire, prompting organisers to close the gates. A driving ban remains in force here but the organisers say its too wet and muddy for people to leave and theyre warning that heavy vehicles could end up getting bogged down in the mud. But for those who are desperate to get out of here, well, theyre not stopping them. And this morning saw a steady stream of vehicles headed for the exit. The advice to those stranded in the Ankle Deep Mud is conserve food, fuel and water supplies, because its unclear how long youll be here. For me and my husband, this is an escape from the hard things. And this is kind of hard. So im sad. It is hard, isnt it . When are we going to get out of it . Oh, thats a really good question. Everyone keeps saying your guess is as good as mine. What do you make of all this . I mean, im having a great time. Is it going to spoil the fun . No, clearly not.

On this programme, weve followed two legends of rugby, rob burrow and ed slater, as they adjust to living with motor neurone disease. It doesnt just affect them, but it affects their families too, especially their wives, who are taking on the role of carers. This is their story. Two rugby families, both living with the devastating condition motor neurone disease. Rob burrow, a rugby league legend, was diagnosed when he was 37. Ed slater, a rugby union star, was told he had mnd last year when he was just 34. The two families have been supporting each other in the hardest of times. You know, i was devastated when i heard the news that ed had been diagnosed. As rob said so many times, it doesnt just affect the person, it affects the whole family. And essentially you become a carer as well as a mum and a wife and, you know, juggling sort of everything. Juggling all of the sort of different things. Yeah. Seeing what you guys have achieved and what youve kind of done with the kids, i think for me it was so reassuring and also helpful to see you guys doing what youre doing with the three kids, and just thinking, ok, i can do this. The burrows and the slaters both have three young children. See them all playing, kids, theyre amazing. And, you know, even some of the most difficult situations, you know, they bring a lot of light, laughter, energy. And its no different today getting them all together. Motor neurone disease is a life limiting degenerative condition. Rob can no longer walk or talk and needs 2a hour care. Ed is starting to lose function in his arms and legs. But its the children that both families worry about. You know, i think its a worry of, how are they going to cope with it . How are they going to deal . And, you know, you kind of i think as a parent, you just you just want your children to be happy, dont you . And you kind of, you know, i know whats coming and its really difficult to prepare them. How long has daddy got, what does that mean . And its really difficult to have those conversations with your children and to kind of say, you know, that it is a life limiting disease and its going to mean that daddy, you know, is not going to be around as long as we. And thats so hard because then its in those moments, i think thats actually the hardest thing is, you cant give them an answer. And kids do love to know a factual answer or, what does that actually mean . It is amazing, though, when they are doing bits or when they kind of offer to do bits. Like, oh, ill fill up daddys water bottle or i can do that, i can do that, which has been amazing to see. Hi, ed, jo and kids, it is great to see you all. How are you doing . Rob is showing ed his eye gaze machine, which helps him to talk. Its something ed himself may need in the future. It basically works on infra red. So theres a little light that rob looks at the letters. This is where rob will get mad at me because i press all the wrong buttons hear that . both rob and ed
