In sport. Its dutch defeat for the lionesses as the netherlands grab a last minute winner to beat england. Its the Calm Before The Storm because star magnus is coming our way today bringing heavy rain and gales, even severe gales with exposure in the west. The south and south east least affected. All the details later. Its wednesday the 27th of september. Our main story. Theres a warning that the number of children missing school in england is now at a crisis that needs to be tackled with bigger, bolder, national measures. A report by a Cross Party Committee of mps found twice as many pupils have been missing a significant amount of school than before the pandemic. The government says it is increasing support for schools. Our Education Editor Branwenjeffreys reports. Its just when parents are in in crisis, really, when they call to say theyre having a bad day. Hayley works with parents who are struggling. Shell even pick up their children. Parents are always really grateful for the support, eventually. Sometimes it takes a little while to build up that positive relationship with them. So she goes out around folkestone in the school minibus. It can take many visits to build up that trust. Roxy, yesterday, done pe, i was like, what did you do . She went, oh, it was really good, i done tennis. She really enjoyed it. Kelsey is one of the mums thats turned things around. She was evicted with her two kids, their new flat was two bus rides away, and, struggling with depression, kelsey couldnt always get them to school. It was hard it was mentally draining, physically draining, you just feel like you dont want to get out of bed, you feel really depressed. You keep going, you feel like youre not good enough, you feel like youre not good enough for your children, that you cant do it, but. I felt quite deflated actually. But, yeah, it was hard. How much difference did it make, when you were at your lowest, that the school would come and help pick up the kids . Massive, massive difference. I changed in myself. It gave me more spirit. It helped amazingly big change. Just from doing that one little thing, by accepting the help that thought id feel embarrassed about. Right, youve got everything you need . Water bottles . Kelsey� s now settled in her new home. The children have been moved to a school in the same Academy Group thats much closer, so theyre going in every day. The bus pick ups are less frequent, a helping hand from time to time. What questions do you think the ahmet might have . Schools connect children with learning and their friends but, across england, almost twice as many children have regularly missed school. In Primary School, its as much about the challenges that families face. The last few years have left more parents struggling with their Mental Health, with money, and often with poor housing. Weve had a lot of families finding themselves in a situation where theyre either going to be evicted or theyve been placed in temporary accommodation. And temporary accommodation around here isnt. You know, its not sometimes suitable for bringing up a child, making lunchboxes. A bedroom with a sink, sometimes they dont even have bathrooms, their toilet� s down the corridor. Across this group of schools, its the teenagers theyre worried about. They told me theyre increasing support as more families struggle. If youre living in rat infested accommodation, that you are struggling to sleep, youre sharing your room with siblings, youre not able to do homework, you are hungry, you are walking rather than taking the bus to school, all those are what i describe as headwinds for those poorest children to come to school. And it is getting worse. So what does work to stop kids missing school . Here, theyve found its intensive support for families when its most needed. Accept the help, please. Its not embarrassing. Theyre there to help. And if you need it, please accept it. Because its done me and my children a hell of a good, so it will you. That was mum of two kelsey, ending that report by our Education Editor Branwenjeffreys. The uks first Consumption Room for Illegal Drugs, including heroin and cocaine, is expected to be approved by officials in glasgow this morning. Ministers at holyrood hope the facility will reduce drug related deaths in scotland, which remain high. The westminster government says it wont stop the room being set up. Our scotland editor james cook has more. This clinic in the east end of glasgow could soon be home to a new approach to tackling drug addiction. Just now, it provides a small number of long term users with prescribed pharmaceutical heroin. But if it expands to include a Consumption Room, many more people could be taking their own drugs here. They can use those drugs under the supervision of trained professional staff who can respond to any adverse events that arise, but also support those Service Users in the harms that they are experiencing in relation to their drug use, and support them to engage with other treatment Care Services that they may need. What kind of drugs could they use . We anticipate the vast majority of people who use this service will be wanting to inject heroin and cocaine. Scotland has the worst death rate from drugs in europe. The Scottish Government insists this Pilot Project could improve the lives of drug users by getting them off the streets. Although the uk government opposes the plan, its not trying to stop it, after scotlands senior law officer said it would not be in the Public Interest to prosecute people for possession of Illegal Drugs while in the facility. But critics say the Scottish Government has its priorities wrong. Lets be perfectly clear there are no safe ways to take drugs. What i would like to see would be a balance of investment. And whilst this is a worthwhile investment, a proposed 2. 3 million a year, i have to make the point that we are only spending half a million a year on rehab in glasgow that helps people get off drugs and helps them to get well. Other countries have tried Consumption Rooms. This one is in the portuguese capital, lisbon. The Scottish Government insists they work and that a similar facility in scotland will save lives. James cook, bbc news, glasgow. A fire has swept through a Wedding Party in northern iraq, reportedly killing at least 100 people, including the bride and groom.

The action against Fremantle Media is listed as dealing with data protection. No other details have been given. A court in new york has ruled that donald trump committed fraud by repeatedly overstating the value of his Business Assets by up to £3 billion. It comes ahead of several other claims due to be heard in an upcoming civil trial. Heres our north america correspondent, peter bowes. Another legal blow for the former president. In a civil lawsuit, he and his two sons, along with the trump organisation, have been accused of staggering levels of fraud. One claim is that mr trump inflated the value of his properties hotels, golf clubs and Apartment Buildings and exaggerated the size of his luxury flat in trump tower. The case is due to go to trial next week, but the judge has already ruled on part of it, and determined that the former president repeatedly lied about his financial affairs. In a post on his Social Media Platform Truth social, donald trump called the judge deranged and said the claim he committed fraud was both ridiculous and untrue. It was, he said, another attempt by his opponents to try to prevent him from winning the next president ial election. The new york ruling means some of the trump organisations licences to operate will be cancelled. The civil case is in addition to the four major Criminal Trials donald trump is facing. While some Opinion Polls now show him edging in front ofjoe biden in the race to regain the white house. Five labour regional mayors have urged rishi sunak not to scrap construction of the hs2 rail line between birmingham and manchester because of soaring costs. Our chief Political CorrespondentHenry Zeffmanjoins us now from westminster. The pressure mounting on the Prime Minister but any sign of when we will get the announcement on the next section of hs2 .

Transportl further north, their organisation hosting the meeting between a string of mayors from the north and sadiq khan, the mayor of london, was set p khan, the mayor of london, was set up by khan, the mayor of london, was set up by the government to make the case for better Transport Infrastructure in the north. Here it is making the case to the government because, while there is no sign of a final decision on the northern leg of hs2, which runs from birmingham to manchester, it is pretty clear at this point that something is up, because the government has had plenty of opportunities to tell as if they are going ahead with the plans as they currently stand, and instead they have talked about the expense of hs2, how Consumer Habits have changed after the pandemic. I think the reason these mailers are getting together to make the case to the government is because they are worried because they are anxious that the government might, rather than just delaying the northern leg, might actually cancel it altogether. The conservative Conference Begins this weekend and it is taking place in manchester. Of course, the government is not speaking to manchester at that conference, it is from manchester to the country, but i think that pressure from the mayors, the fact the Conference Takes Place this weekend, means the government might have to come out with more clarity before long. The British Museum has set out how it plans to recover more than 2000 missing artefacts. The museum is asking the public to help locate the missing items. Have you come across any priceless antiquities a bronze age earring, a roman bracelet, an egyptian engraving of a Goddess Fighting a four headed snake, or this roman carving of a dolphin . Priceless items like these could have been unwittingly purchased by the public. Their location unknown. And thats what the British Museum is hoping they can find out. Theyve launched this special website to see if the public can help identify some of the 2,000 pieces from their collection that have gone missing. Theyve also told us for the first time exactly what has been lost. Its mostly Pieces Ofjewellery and gems from greece or rome. It all follows the revelation last month that items from the museums collections had turned up for sale on ebay, being sold for a fraction of their true value. An unnamed member of staff was fired, the Director Resigned and a Police Investigation was launched. It was all hugely embarrassing for this british cultural institution. The museum is trying to recover not only its artefacts, but also its reputation. Joe inwood, bbc news. Most of us remember yogi bear and his penchant for pinching picnics.
