vincent runs a haulage company in essex. can you get on the agency drivers to help out? no. he says it's partly the pandemic and staff taking long overdue holidays, and other factors. one of them is foreign drivers going home after brexit, and historically the youngsters aren't coming through to take these jobs. the government insists there's no shortage of fuel and says panic buying will only make things worse. jon kay, bbc news, dorset. let's talk now to our political correspondent alex forsyth, who's at westminster. —— damian grammaticas. energy firms going bust, some petrol stations closing — ministers must be worried? the issue is you have two different problems there, but they are coming together. they have different causes, so the rising energy prices, the shortage of drivers delivering fuel, but they are pointing to other issues as well. what one minister called the acute shortage of labour across the economy, feeding into people's fears about rising prices and the availability of goods in the run—up to christmas. the government feels it has systems in place

in parts of essex, it's as high as 73%. good morning, bridgewater surgeries. hello, bridgewater surgeries. bridgewater surgeries, how can i help? - this gp surgery in watford looks after 30,000 patients. they've taken hundreds of calls this morning. some are given face—to—face appointments, others are offered phone consultations. thank you, bye. hi, good morning, it's simon hodes, i'm one of the gps in bridgewater surgeries... downstairs, doctors are calling those patients back. i think even though you've been vaccinated, you probably should get a proper covid test, which is called a pcr. first up is someone who may have covid, orjust a cough. equally, if you feel you'd rather sort of take a course of antibiotics over the phone, that's probably not unreasonable, given your symptoms. doctors say keeping the virus out of waiting rooms is crucial, and often patients do prefer... hello! ..phone or video appointments. sometimes you don't really need to come in, to be honest. when you tell them what is going on, they prescribe something for you. just come down a

louise mcallan, from essex, has been affected by treatment delays due to the pandemic. she was diagnosed with terminal cancer early last year and has not been able to start chemotherapy. she spoke to victoria derbyshire about her situation. when he told me that i wouldn't be receiving chemotherapy, yeah, it was just devastating, really. i think my whole world just fell out. and ijust said to him at the time, "you're just leaving me." you know, i just felt so abandoned. you were told, i think at this point, that your cancer — your lung cancer — was stage iv, is that correct? yes, it was, yeah. which for anyone who doesn't understand the significance of that, there isn't a stage v. it means it isn't curable, but treatment can prolong your life. but explain why you were told you couldn't have chemotherapy. he said that i was at risk of getting covid. but then, you know, you can't predict an outcome of a disease. because i was isolating as well, so i wasn't at risk of catching covid. the chemotherapy would have been tablet form, so i would have been on that for the rest

back to the present, and the latest radar rainfall picture, and it is this line from essex and lincolnshire moving into east anglia which has hefty downpours. a few developing across eastern counties of northern ireland as well and it is these areas most at risk of seeing disruptive thundery downpours with the risk of local flooding and maybe with an impact on travel this afternoon. elsewhere, scattered showers, some of those are quite heavy, a lot of cloud around. you are best placed to see sunny spells down the eastern side of the uk and they still warmth, 23 in whole and 23 in norwich, 14—16 in the northern and western isles. across eastern areas of england, heavy downpours continue into the evening and for most places overnight, turning dry with mist and fog around. but it is turning much wetter in north—west scotland, initially for the western isles. another quite mild and muggy night. into tomorrow, and for many places, it is looking drier and brighter. after a mainly cloudy and misty and murky start, light showers around. a clear exception is northern scotland, where the heaviest

not the usual start to the school week for 14—year—old jack, a pupil at belfair academy in essex. he's one of the first healthy 12 to 15—year—olds in england to receive the vaccine as part of the latest roll—out. i'm happy i got it because it makes it easier to go out and enjoy myself now. schools do need to get permission from parents or guardians, but if that's withheld and the child is judged to be competent to reach a decision, they could give consent. the judgment on vaccinating this younger age group was finely balanced and was made only after factors like the disruption to education were taken into account. it's really important to remember that the uk chief medical 0fficers have supported the introduction of the vaccine to this age group, and that's then been signed off by government. and we're doing it, we're rolling it out in schools, because it is our best chance not just to protect children but to protect families as well. hands up, who thinks we should vaccinate 12 to 15—year—olds? at st margaret's academy in liverpool, they've been poised for the vaccine ro

her home, near upminster in essex, is 300 yards from the approved route of the m25. the green belt started to take shape in 1955 and has nearly always been under pressure from development. here, residents objected to the m25. there's so much pollution in london today. - it's so congested and filthy. we must have clean air around us. this green belt site in hillingdon is another target of the house—builders. in 1983, developers were looking at this site. the green belt now stretches for 40 miles from the capital. but there are those that think that we should have a much more nuanced approach to the green belt. not all green belt is as beautiful and as well—kept as this, and, so the argument goes, green belt protection is actually adding to the housing crisis. we think politicians need to think carefully about the type of land that's in the green belt and look at sites which are of poor quality, potentially brownfield sites, close to existing stations, which could potentially be developed. this was borisjohnson in 2014 as london mayor, visiting a brownfield site in
