and the phasing out of all gas boilers by 2035 would be weakened. instead the government would only require 80% to be phased out by then. the prime minister is considering announcing these and other changes later this week. let's get the latest on this breaking story from chris mason who's at westminster. chris, you just found this out, tell us more. chris, you “ust found this out, tell us more. �* , , chris, you “ust found this out, tell us more. n , ~ . us more. let's be clear, the government _ us more. let's be clear, the government didn't - us more. let's be clear, the government didn't want - us more. let's be clear, the government didn't want to i us more. let's be clear, the i government didn't want to be revealing this right now but we are told that within government what is being considered from downing street is a request that the various government departments around here look into eight different potential policy switches related to the environmentand to measures that would deal with climate change and try to reach that net zero target in 2050. you mentioned if few, potentially delaying the ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to

2035, committing to no new measures to increase car occupancy, committing to know new direct taxes on passengers to discourage flying, no diet changes suggested as far as the impact on carbon emissions from meat consumption. and there are two specifics, delaying fossil fuel burning until 2035 and watering it down a little bit. that has been a big argument for plenty. and relaxing the idea that gas boilers should be100% phased out by 2035 to just 80%. also committing to know new energy efficiency regulations on homes nor any overzealous as some might see at requests about the number of bins we might have to have as far as recycling is concerned. these are considerations that are going on within government and we expect the prime minister to give a speech in the coming days. how many of these actually emerge in the speech we wait to see. some i have

been speaking to think the whole idea of pushing back the ban on new petrol and diesel cars might not happen, might be kept because of the work the government has done to try to encourage the battery industry as a potential industry in which the uk could thrive. what we can reveal is that measures of the significance and skill have been considered that the heart of government. bud and skill have been considered that the heart of government.— the heart of government. and they are likely to _ the heart of government. and they are likely to be _ the heart of government. and they are likely to be welcomed - the heart of government. and they are likely to be welcomed by - the heart of government. and they are likely to be welcomed by some| are likely to be welcomed by some and are deemed extremely controversial to others, why is he doing this now?— controversial to others, why is he doing this now? exactly those two thin . s. doing this now? exactly those two thinqs- this _ doing this now? exactly those two things. this will _ doing this now? exactly those two things. this will grab _ doing this now? exactly those two things. this will grab attention. i things. this will grab attention. there has been a sense around rishi sunak that the political circumstances of his arrival as prime minister has meant his true political beliefs have been a little shielded. a man who is instinctively conservative and are drawn towards low taxes but was in charge of the furlough scheme during the pandemic, for instance. and a prime minister who is miles behind in the polls who need to do something radical to

seize attention and provoked controversy. all of this will do exactly that even if some of these measures don't actually see the light of day, the speech. there are some who will highlight any watering down as they see it as far as climate change promises are concerned, others will be delighted. the row is onlyjust beginning but the prime minister will insist the overall commitment to net zero by 2050 does remain in place. ichris 2050 does remain in place. chris mason, 2050 does remain in place. chris mason. thank — 2050 does remain in place. chris mason, thank you _ 2050 does remain in place. chris mason, thank you very _ 2050 does remain in place. chris mason, thank you very much - 2050 does remain in place. chris mason, thank you very much for bringing us that breaking story. it's britain's largest local authority — and it's bust. today the government says it will send in officials to take over the running of birmimgham city council which has effectively declared itself bankrupt. it's facing a bill of hundreds of millions of pounds for, amongst other things, spiralling equal pay claims and failures over the introduction of a new it system. it's the latest in a number of local authorities that have declared they can't balance the books over the last couple of years. 0ur midlands correspondent phil mackiejoins us now. this community centre used to be run by birmingham city council, but they had to let it go during the last big round of cuts. it's still here and thriving.

this morning, it was the parent and toddler group's turn. however, the community association that runs it still gets council money and is worried that it will be taken away. we've supported local residents with warm spaces over the cost of living crisis, food hampers, things like that. a lot of that has been funded through council initiatives. cost of living still going to be an issue for people with less resources in the council, but actually local residents are going to be hit really hard and those types of services are the ones that they're going to desperately need. and most of the people who come here say things have got worse. jade lives in a council house with her daughter and disabled mum. you could see how it's sort of gone downhill, if you like, over a period of time. like, they try and sort of make it better and stuff like that. but you can see that we are struggling as a city and us being the second city as well, it's hard to see. now the government says it's appointing commissioners to take over. for years now, the city has suffered as the council has failed to grip under—performance.

poor leadership, weak governance, woeful mismanagement of employee relations and ineffective service delivery have harmed the city. clearly, we have challenges here in birmingham that we need to address, not least stabilising the finances of this council and delivering the decent services that the people of this city need and deserve. and that's what we'll be working with them to do. critics say it's only got itself to blame. there was a botched it system that cost it £100 million and there are thousands of equal pay claims which are outstanding because women on the same grade as men have been paid less over the years. the council already sold off what it called its crown jewels, which included what used to be called the national indoor arena. and now there's even speculation it might have to sell off its library or museum and art gallery. councils don'tjust pay for big buildings and projects. this is the men's shed, a space for older men to come for company and support. it's self—sufficient now, but wouldn't be here without council funding.

it'll mean that new sheds won't be started up unless there's a commercial company possibly that's prepared to back them. there have been some such where a company has decided to give a start up grant for sheds. they are few and far between, though. it's barely a year since birmingham was on a high when it hosted the commonwealth games. now its golden years seem far behind and the city will have to reflect on a future of more council tax and fewer services. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. a damning report on the mistreatment of detainees at an immigration removal centre has recommended that no—one should be held for more than 28 days while awaiting deportation. at the moment there is no time limit. the report is the result of a public inquiry triggered by a bbc panorama documentary in 2017 which investigated the mistreatment of men held at brook house near gatwick airport. the report found a "toxic" culture among staff, and that it was a place of "stress and distress". our home affairs correspondent

tom symonds's report contains some offensive language. when a young custody officer working in britain's immigration system agreed to go undercover for the bbc... my name's callum tulley. two years ago, i was just another lad trying to work out what to do with the rest of my life. he had no idea that hisjournalism would result in a highly critical report by a public inquiry. then i got a job here at a place you've probably never heard of. brook house. described today as one of society's hidden places where people are locked up before being deported, callum obtained footage of incidents like this. an egyptian detainee with mental health problems held to the ground by the neck, by a custody officer. inhuman and degrading treatment, the inquiry found. and this former detainee in brook house at the time says the culture was abusive.

i was terrified. you know, i was terrified. that place, we was treated like animals. they were trying to manhandle you by putting handcuffs on you or a lot of officers would come and run you down and put you to the ground, try to get everyone locked up, then come for you. you know, they'll come for you physically and aggressively making sly comments, you black monkey. why are you doing here? go back to your country. go back to where you're from. the inquiry concluded the human rights of 19 detainees was violated in just five months and this was one of the reasons. the use of force approach is based on a prison model and immigration detainees are not prisoners. so it's completely inappropriate. and i found evidence of misuse of dangerous techniques being used, of inappropriate and excessive use of force, and that cannot be allowed to happen in that environment. i'm not the first person to say that a 28—day time limit is needed. i think the evidence showed

that the levels of distress, the anxiety, the uncertainty are very real for people in an environment such as brook house. but the government's priority is stopping the boats. ministers plan to detain more immigrants infuture, though it insists for the minimum time possible. the home secretary didn't respond to the call for a limit today. she said the government takes the welfare and safety of those we detain very seriously and has made significant improvements to immigration detention. we will carefully consider the findings of this inquiry in its detailed report. it's six years since callum tulley�*s landmark investigation. it deeply affected him personally. it has also had an impact on the debate about immigration. tom symonds, bbc news. the father, stepmother and uncle of ten—year—old sara sharif have appeared at the old bailey and told they will stand trial next september for murder and causing or allowing the death of a child. the court heard that sara sharif had

a "constellation" of injuries — some of them old — including a brain haemorrhage a broken collarbone and multiple fractures. all three defendants were remanded in custody until their next hearing in december. youtube says russell brand will no longer be able to make money from his videos on the online platform while he faces accusations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse. the company says russell brand who has 6.2 million subscribers had broken his creative responsibility policy. the comedian denies all allegations. russell brand and youtube. his videos casting doubts on covid vaccines... 50 videos casting doubts on covid vaccines- - -_ videos casting doubts on covid vaccines... ., ., , , vaccines... so we ask ourselves can we really follow _ vaccines... so we ask ourselves can we really follow the _ vaccines... so we ask ourselves can we really follow the science? - we really follow the science? mainstream media and extolling the virtues of meditation have been a lucrative income stream, but no

0ur east of england correspondent jo black is in chelmsford. you're at the house where the remains were discovered. yes, you can still see police activity at the property in chelmsford with a forensic tent and a police called in and we've seen detectives doing door—to—door inquiries, and they've been here since last week after concerns were raised about the welfare ofjohn and lois mcculloch and yesterday the police confirmed they had discovered human remains. their daughter, 35—year—old virginia mcculloch is charged with their murders, accused of killing them at some point between august 2018 and september 2023. she appeared at basildon crown court this morning via video link and did not enter any plea in relation to the charges that she is facing. there will be a plea hearing later this year in december. meanwhile detectives say they will

be here for the coming days and that this is a complex investigation using specialist officers and they are encouraging anybody with information to come forward. in a major escalation of the pay dispute between the government and doctors, for the first time ever hospital consultants in england will be on strike at the same time asjunior doctors. the consultants began their two—day walk out today to be joined byjunior doctors tomorrow. emergency care will be covered throughout, but some cancer care, for example, is affected. hospitals are reporting having to cancel patients' appointements for a second or even third time. here's our health editor, hugh pym. how have you been getting on? 0k. the healing, i think, is getting there. charlie catching up with her consultant. she's had surgery for breast cancer and is having ongoing treatment and regular scans. but previous appointments have been affected by doctors' strikes. i had a 30—day wait between having a scan and receiving the results of the scan, which, as you can imagine, is psychologically very difficult.

there's a lot of anxiety in the lead up to a scan, but also in the lead up to getting results. charlie supports the doctors' right to strike, but is concerned if the dispute runs on for some time. that's really difficult as a patient having increased scans from delays, having anxiety around your childcare and life admin and the thought of this industrial action continuing or even increasing is really, really worrying. at this major london cancer centre, 100 appointments and 30 operations have been cancelled because of strikes this week. the biggest impact is on the surgery for our cancer patients. and although this is what you would term, "planned elective care", clearly it's essential that these patients are able to have the surgery for their cancer within a timely fashion. so how have you been? very well, actually. but urgent cancer

care has continued. zofia has come in today for her immunotherapy treatment. i'm very happy that all my treatment has proceeded without any interruption. i don't know whether i'm happy about the consultants going on strike, but i know that my treatment here and the oncologists i've been seeing have not, and therefore i haven't been impacted by it at all. the government now wants to introduce minimum service levels, which will dictate how many doctors, nurses and other frontline staff must carry on working during strikes. currently, it's down to local negotiations with employers. the doctors union, the bma, said staffing levels were safe on strike days and more regulations weren't needed. as the argument rumbles on, hospital managers are getting more worried. we're in no doubt that harm will be coming to patients as a consequence of the repeated cumulative industrial action that's gone on for so long. tomorrow sees a joint walk—out

by consultants and junior doctors and a new chapter in this bitter dispute. hugh pym, bbc news. the time is 6:18pm. our top story this evening. the government is considering dropping its ban on the sale the government is considering changing net zero commitments. and what can be done about the lock that contains half of the coming up in sportsday in the next on bbc news — spain's players report for duty but will they actually play? the majority of the squad say they won't until spanish federation makes major changes. the education secretary has told mps that nearly 250 temporary classrooms such as portacabins have been ordered by schools to accommodate lessons in the wake of the crisis over crumbling concrete or raac.

gillian keegan also confirmed that the number of schools affected has increased. there are now 174 schools in england which are known to contain the unstable concrete, an increase of 27 on the figure given last month by the department for education. officials said surveyors have been checking hundreds of schools every week for raac. 0ur education editor, branwenjeffreys has been to one of the more badly affected schools. myton is a large secondary school in warwick. this is how much crumbling concrete has taken out of action, leaving two year groups at a time, learning online. you have to change your classroom. so, elliot in year eight started his school day logging on. it's a very different environment. what do you miss most about being in school? my friends, and what i worry about is if this goes on for too long, that i'll... i'll be behind. i'm not a teacher. i can't teach him.

that's left his mum, who runs a business, having to work from home. i can't leave him to be i having to self motivate. so the impact to the business is very disruptive. _ two weeks ago, teachers had to suddenly move out of their classrooms, some almost in tears. we've just emptied our classrooms and our new classrooms are just bomb sites. and we've got to teach tomorrow. and we know we've got to teach tomorrow. if you put them by english, everybody can get the books. promised emergency classrooms won't arrive until mid—october. i'm speaking quietly because all of these teachers are teaching lessons online, live, in different subjects, trying to keep the pupils engaged. but it's incredibly difficult to work like this. this building was thought safe until the advice changed. the education secretary said today new information about the risks left

no other option. i knew this was going to be difficult. i did not want to put schools in a position where i put out a notice via the media or directly and left them with the problem. i wanted to stand up caseworkers. i wanted to stand up portacabins. on a day to day basis, we'd use this for assemblies... at myton, it's not clear how space will be replaced in the long term. it became very clear to us very early that the call was made to close the schools without any real idea on what the plan would be and the process would be to help the schools, then get students back on site and reopen. so we just hit barriers and hit problems right from the outset. so instead of a fully equipped drama studio, lessons in the gym for this school, it could take years to sort out. branwynjeffreys, bbc news, warwick. the metropolitan police force

says more than 1,000 of its officers are now suspended or on restricted duties, as it tries to root out corruption in its ranks. the crackdown follows the convictions of former officers david carrick, a serial rapist, and murderer wayne couzens. the met say hundreds of officers could face the sack but that could take years. our home editor mark easton is here. thank you. public trust is in freefall at the moment. scotland yard trying to prove it is doing what it takes to root out corrupt and incompetent officers. it's two years since wayne couzens was given a whole life order for murdering sarah everard and more than six months since his colleague david carrick was given 36 life sentences for a series of rapes.— for a series of rapes. at the heart ofthe for a series of rapes. at the heart of the plan _ for a series of rapes. at the heart of the plan is _ for a series of rapes. at the heart of the plan is renewing _ for a series of rapes. at the heart of the plan is renewing our- for a series of rapes. at the heart i of the plan is renewing our contract with the _ of the plan is renewing our contract with the public. we police by consent— with the public. we police by consent in this country. we know we have so _ consent in this country. we know we have so much— consent in this country. we know we have so much to do to rebuild that

still further before it gets better as more scandals and serious officer misbehaviour is uncovered. this is lough neagh, west of belfast. it's the largest freshwater lake in the uk — about 20 miles long and nine miles wide. it supplies half of belfast�*s drinking water and 40% of the whole of northern ireland's. but it's being poisoned by a huge bloom of toxic blue—green algae covering the surface, killing fish and birds. beauty spots have become deserted, some businesses are being badly hit and there are calls for immediate action to save the lake before it's too late. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page has been out on the water. this colossal lake is facing a calamitous problem. in lough neagh, there's been a massive growth of toxic bacteria known as blue—green algae. campaigners say it's ruining a unique natural treasure. this is completely new to me. never, never seen the likes of it

before, nor has my family who have lived there for generations before me. 0n parts of the 100 mile long shoreline, the algae has built up to form a thick, stodgy sludge. what really strikes you here, as well as the sight, is the smell. you'd think there had been something like a gas leak. it's very, very grim. the bacteria has bloomed for several reasons, including settled weather and the presence of an invasive species of mussel. but the algae feeds off farm chemicals and sewage in the water. climate change is also to blame. there's been a one degree increase in the temperature of the bottom of the tough from about 1995. and it not might not sound a lot, but that's been pretty significant. the impact is spreading beyond the lake and damaging people's livelihoods. this is what used to take place on the river bann near coleraine, which is downstream

from lough neagh. but the edge watersports centre has had to close. the business was dealt a fatal blow by the arrival of the algae in the summer. it's completely heartbreaking, to be honest. i met my wife through water—skiing on the river. and, you know, our kids grew up with it. you know, my customers and staff are like a family down here, and that's all been ripped away from us. the crisis is happening at a time when northern ireland doesn't have a devolved government because of political stalemate. officials say they're taking a range of urgent actions for the short and long term. but scientists, residents and campaign groups are warning more needs to be done to rescue the uk's largest lake. chris page, bbc news, on lough neagh. the un's cultural body says a controversial plan for submerging

the a303 in a road tunnel near stonehenge should not proceed in its current form. unesco is concerned the prehistoric monument could lose its world heritage status if the scheme goes ahead without amendments. national highways says it remains confident the plan is the best solution for tackling a "long—standing traffic bottleneck". the government is considering weakening several net zero commitments in a major policy shift. chris mason is at westminster, and you've been getting some reaction since you broke the story. what has people in saying quite up my phone has gone bonkers in the 20 minute since we broke the story after six o'clock. ,., ,, ., ., o'clock. downing street have not denied they _ o'clock. downing street have not denied they have _ o'clock. downing street have not denied they have been _ o'clock. downing street have not denied they have been exploring j o'clock. downing street have not - denied they have been exploring some of these issues. sources say that the prime minister is aware that it is worth exploring the feasibility of some of these deadlines around some environmental measures and also cognisant of the cost to families of

some of these measures, and they don't deny he is planning a speech in the coming days setting out his plans. beyond that, a reaction that was more than a raised eyebrow from those around liz truss, the former prime minister, who gave a speech yesterday advocating just some of these policies. clearly he was paying more attention than we thought said one person around the former prime minister. to be fair to downing street, the ideas are been in the works for some time. labour say it is a failure against the conservatives existing promises and measures. two questions tonight. what does the prime minister say when he gives his speech, and how does he square that commitment to net zero in 2050 with potentially watering down some of the measures that were meant to help get there? chris, thank very much. more on that story in the news at ten, what the state of his phone will be then, one can only imagine. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith—lucas. many of us have seen rain and you

will have noticed the wind has picked up with gusts as high as 60 or 70 miles an hour around coastal parts. this is the picture in paul stewart earlier with big waves around the coast and that will be the picture over the next 24 or 48 hours for many of us. strong winds, some heavy downpours and really feeling autumnal. what we will see as the remnants of an x hurricane moving in from the atlantic, sweeping the front across the uk, so it's the remnants of a hurricane and its mild air coming from the tropics but also producing a lot of wind so the rest of the evening and overnight will see rain for northern ireland sweeping across scotland and by the end of the night we have a band of rain across northern and western parts of england and wales. not a cold night with temperatures for many staying in the mid—teens, but through the day tomorrow, let's look at england and wales. gusts could reach 60 or 70 miles an hour around the coast of wales and as the rain sweeps east we could see gusts of 40 or 50 mph so heavy, thundery

downpours, brisk winds and a similar picture across scotland and northern ireland. sunshine reappearing and a scattering of blustery showers but you will notice the wind and it could cause disruption to ferries, bridges with gusts up to 70 mph. temperatures in the mid to high teens, perhaps the low 20s. the rain will be slow to clear the south—east through wednesday evening and overnight into thursday and eventually it will clear away but thursday brings a day of some sunshine but more showers, the heaviest in the north with gales sunshine but more showers, the heaviest in the north with gates at times and there will be a bit of brightness, may be slightly less windy in the south but things looking quite unsettled over the next few days. thanks, sarah. and that's bbc news at six. the news continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm olly foster.
