balloons and bright colours as southport mourns seven—year—old elsie dot stancombe, one of the victims of last month's knife attack. those are our main headlines on the programme. we will have more of those stories in a moment or two. let's catch up with the latest sports news. hello from the bbc sport centre. it's the second round of the women's open at st andrew's and overnight leader charley hull is three strokes behind world noi nelly korda. let's go straight to scotland wherejane dougall is at the old course for us, what's the latest jane? nearly caught out showing us why she is world number one with a flawless

second round, four birdies taking her to eight underfor the her to eight under for the tournament. her to eight underfor the tournament. that is after she started one—shot behind the overwrite leader. she topped the leaderboard and it is apt that she does so because the american has had such a great season with six wins in a row on the tour. she is looking to win again this weekend and it is safe to say that she is on her way to do that. but perhaps wanting to stop her, three shots behind is england's charley hull, she has had quite an up day. she was the overnight leader on five under but then had three bogeys in herfirst ii then had three bogeys in herfirst 11 holes. she dropped to two under but then picked those shot straight back up again with three birdies. so she finished right back where she started on five under, but for the tournament not for the day. she is still well in contention just behind

the leader at the moment. she loves these courses. georgia hall is still out on the course. she birdied the fifth to take up to two under, she bogeyed the tenth, that dropped to one under. but she has been doing pretty well during the tournament. she got an eagle on the ninth, coping well with difficult conditions. there is more to come from her. we have to mention the english amateur, who has been doing incredibly well. she was on three under, dropping a few shot which frustrated her. but she is coping very well with their conditions. it is going to take quite some doing to catch nelly korda, at st andrews. its day 3 of the first test between england and sri lanka at old trafford and so far the day belonging to jamie smith. england taking a 122 run first innings lead thanks in large part

to smith's maiden test century. the 24—year—old went from 72 not out overnight to 111 on the third morning excelling injust his fifth test innings. sri lanka though have managed to erase the lead and are currently 147—4, they now lead by 25 runs with 6 wickets remaining. manchester city have completed the signing of former captain ilkay gundogan from barcelona on an initial one—year deal. the german midfielder was pep guardiola's first signing at the club in 2016 and won on m trophies in 304 appearances the german midfielder was pep guardiola's first signing at the club in 2016 and won on 1a trophies in 30k appearances beforejoining barcelona on a free transfer last year. we know him quite well, me personally but the staff and players and everyone. and you know the

quality he played at barcelona, even at a high level consistency and producing a lot. we didn't have any doubts. yeah, absolutely delighted he's back. to cycling, and wout van aert roared to victory in the stage seven of the vuelta a espana — leaving it very late, though! the belgian rider pipping france's pavel sivakovto victory. he launched a late sprint in the final 200m of the race to bag his second stage win of the competition and strengthen his grip on the green jersey. and that's all the sport for now. mark, thanks very much. more now on that sharp rise in energy bills — on the way this winter for some people living in england, scotland and wales. a typical household's energy bill is to rise in october by £119 a year after the regulator, ofgem, announced a 10% increase in its price cap. it will take the average bill

in england, wales, and scotland, to just over £1,700 — although that is still less than last winter. the energy secretary, ed miliband, said the announcement would be "deeply worrying news for many families" and blamed what he called the "failed energy policy we inherited" — from the previous government. let's speak to our political correspondent david cornock. david, this will put more pressure on the new government on that decision about winter fuel payments. it will, yes. politically awkward for the government. labour came to power promising to reduce bills by hundreds of pounds a year, but in the short—term, they are going in opposite direction, and that really has focused attention on the government decision to end winter fuel bills for payments up to £300 for the vast majority of pensioner

households. 0nly for the vast majority of pensioner households. only the poorest pensioners will be eligible. there is some discomfort about the decision among labour mps. the government saying there are other ways of protecting pensioners and ed miliband saying he'll do everything he can to protect people from higher fuel bills. there will be some pressure when mps return for the government to rethink or at least to have a look at other ways in which the poorest pensioner households can be protected from higher bills. david, there is obviously unease in some quarters. how much is becoming public? it’s some quarters. how much is becoming ublic? �* , ., ., ., public? it's hard to tell at the moment because _ public? it's hard to tell at the moment because it's - public? it's hard to tell at the moment because it's august. j public? it's hard to tell at the - moment because it's august. most public? it's hard to tell at the _ moment because it's august. most mps moment because its august. most mps are still exhausted from the election campaign and are spending

their time well away from westminster. but today, we heard from rachael maskell, a labour mp, warning that this could lead to problems for the nhs as people choose not to heat their homes. she's warning that the government really has to get this right. things could be awkward because the signs are that she probably does speak for are that she probably does speak for a number of labour mps who are uncomfortable with this decision. the conservatives are very happy to pile on the pressures, saying labour would reduce bills, but a lot of pensioners will face an increase for £300. ., pensioners will face an increase for £300. a, , a let's speak to adam scorer, chief executive of national energy action,

a charity that works and campaigns to eradicate fuel poverty. returning to the price cap, what is your assessment of the impact that is likely to have when it comes in. they are expected to be high in the rest of the decade. we know as it leads to people in problem that's about three point to billion pounds of household energy debt —— 3.2. we know that people have to do without notjust heat, but people don't wash their clothes. they don't use showers, they don't cook hot food, they go to bed when it gets dust, they go to bed when it gets dust, they have friends and families around. —— they don't. a whole range of conditions caused or made worse by living in cold when he did homes. the most tragic element is that 10,000 people, 10,000 deaths every

year relate to living in cold and damp homes. —— cold and unheated homes. it's the knife edge of being able to fettered the benefits of a warm house —— afford. able to fettered the benefits of a warm house -- afford.— able to fettered the benefits of a warm house -- afford. have you got an sort warm house -- afford. have you got any sort of — warm house -- afford. have you got any sort of estimated _ warm house -- afford. have you got any sort of estimated figure - warm house -- afford. have you got any sort of estimated figure about . any sort of estimated figure about how many more people might be tipped into that given a change like this? yes, and it's quite a simple dynamic. a 10% rise in bills probably reflects about a 400,000 increase in the number of households across the uk in fuel poverty. by that, we mean spending 10% of income to afford a decent level of heat and power. that will take us to about 6 million households in the uk caught in that dilemma. actually, it's not even a dilemma of heating or eating, many of them will not be able to do either in a way that consists again a normal and healthy like —— that

can sustain. a normal and healthy like -- that can sustain-— can sustain. you heard about the removal of— can sustain. you heard about the removal of the _ can sustain. you heard about the removal of the winter _ can sustain. you heard about the removal of the winter fuel- can sustain. you heard about the i removal of the winter fuel payment for many pensioners. when you link it with that double blow, other ways around to mitigate that. people are talking about universal credit. can you mitigate to get some of these impacts? you mitigate to get some of these im acts? ., ., ., ., you mitigate to get some of these imacts? ., ., ., ., ., impacts? you have to find a way of mitigating- — impacts? you have to find a way of mitigating- i— impacts? you have to find a way of mitigating. i don't _ impacts? you have to find a way of mitigating. i don't think _ impacts? you have to find a way of mitigating. i don't think of - impacts? you have to find a way of mitigating. i don't think of much i mitigating. i don't think of much argument, the wealthiest pensioners may be don't need the financial support, but the decision according to age uk, millions of pensioners out of the scheme and thousands who haven't received pension credit, so you have to find some mechanism. what seems to be the mechanism is another form of support, what seems to be the mechanism is anotherform of support, the what seems to be the mechanism is another form of support, the warm homes discount, but it's only about £150, but it's an established mechanism. it's too narrow and it's

not enough money, but the government can look by may be recycling some of the savings from the winter fuel payment decision to make that more available, broaderand payment decision to make that more available, broader and deeper so you protect notjust pensioner households, but of course families with young children. people with long—term medical conditions and disabilities which means they need to live in a warm home and they're more likely to spend more their time there. there has to be a mechanism. unfortunately, it looks like there'll be another sticking plaster, short—term measure rather than taking a good holistic view about how we make sure the most vulnerable people in our society get the greatest degree of support and protection. the greatest degree of support and rotection. . ~ the greatest degree of support and rotection. ., ~ , ., ., the greatest degree of support and rotection. ., ~ i. ., i. protection. thank you for your time, thank yom — mourners have gathered for the funeral of seven—year—old elsie dot stancombe, one of the three girls killed in the southport knife attack last month. elsie's family had encouraged people

to improve to help produce great britain's "next generation" of gold medallists. he's a double gold medal—winning paralympian, a four—time world champion and marathon world record—holder. richard whitehead might not be heading to paris this year, but he's got another focus. i'm fit and healthy. i never say never. i've not retired officially. but can you take on the fox? away from the track, richard is passionate about removing the barriers that stop disabled people enjoying sport. we still have some real access issues in sport and recreation. for an able—bodied person to be able to run, the equipment you need is trainers. you go to a sports shop in your local community and you get them. for an amputee, you have to go to a prosthetic clinic. you're measured, you're fitted, you have the right equipment and then you're able. that process needs to be a lot easier. the nhs says people with prosthetics commissioned by them can take part in fitness and physical activities, but richard disagrees.

i don't see those individuals. i don't hear those messages. but the nhs would say that anybody who needs a prosthetic, if they are suitable, can get one. the nhs for me at the moment is very restrictive. and that's why richard set up his foundation, to help people like walid get the right prosthetic so that he can run like this. i actually watched him on youtube when he did the parlympics in 2020. that was what changed my life, to be honest. that started my journey. the nhs prosthetic he received after losing his leg as a teenager changed his life, and it's the reason he is now a prosthetist himself. but it didn't allow him to get back to the active life he had before, until he received his first running blade with the help of richard. do you use your legs when you're at school? sometimes. sometimes, yeah.

it is hard to play- football with them on. richard has been a mentor to ten—year—old taylor since he was two and has been there through some of the challenges he's faced. if your running feet could be better in any way, what would you like them to be better in? more comfier. more comfy, for sure. they are so heavy. and you have to wear these? there's not much difference between that and mine. is there not? no. taylor has three different nhs prosthetic legs, but none of them work that well for him. if we had the money, it would be | a completely different scenario. | do you feel that way? yes. i understand that it's the nhs and fundingj is limited, but they're kids. there shouldn't be i a limitation on their life. so what do you think you could get if you had the money? lighter legs. better fit, physio that comes along with it. i we would be a lot further along i in taylor's journey than we are now. for richard, it's notjust about finding the next gold medal—winning paralympian. he wants all disabled people

to have the right equipment so that they can benefit from sport just like he has. nikki fox, bbc news. bbc presenterjermainejenas says he's consulting lawyers after being sacked by the corporation. the former footballer — who's presented the one show and appeared on match of the day as a pundit — was dismissed this week, after allegations of inappropriate workplace behaviour. he says there are two sides to every story. charlotte gallagher reports. we know that a few weeks ago the bbc was told he had allegedly sent sent inappropriate messages to a female colleague. jermainejenas had been colleague. jermaine jenas had been positioning colleague. jermainejenas had been positioning himself to take over from gary lineker. a huge picture of him on the side of the bbc office

has been removed. another employer said they have no plans to work with jermainejenas in the immediate future, and he actually did an interview with talk sport and was asked about this. i’m interview with talk sport and was asked about this.— asked about this. i'm not happy about the situation. _ asked about this. i'm not happy about the situation. i'm - asked about this. i'm not happy about the situation. i'm going l asked about this. i'm not happy| about the situation. i'm going to asked about this. i'm not happy i about the situation. i'm going to be speaking to my lawyers about it, is all i can say right now.— all i can say right now. another scandal for— all i can say right now. another scandal for the _ all i can say right now. another scandal for the bbc _ all i can say right now. another scandal for the bbc involving . scandal for the bbc involving another highly paid male presenter. the bbc has been accused of dragging its heels and not acting quickly enough when complaints have been made about presenters. in this case, they sacked jenas within weeks. riders taking part in this year's junior tour of wales are due to set off shortly on the four—day cycling race, but the route looks a bit different this time. it's been shortened and some sections re—rerouted because of the introduction of the 20—mph default speed limit,

which affects most roads in built—up areas of wales. let's speak to the organiser of the race, richard hopkins. welcome to the programme. what do you make of this turn of events? i will say it's a shock because we knew it was coming, but u nfortu nately, unfortunately, they recognise early on this would be a problem —— fortunately. the mitigation they have planned unfortunately didn't come in time because of the complexity of making a legal order that ups the speed limit. here it's on the other way and it's because a bit of complication. the understatement - bit of complication. the understatement of i bit of complication. the understatement of the | bit of complication. the understatement of the day. tell me what you've lost in terms of the routes, the places you go through, the character of this race. i{finite routes, the places you go through, the character of this race.— the character of this race. quite a

changes a little bit frustrating at the time. we have to look at what we've got an said to be a fantastic... there's a massive amount of money getting orders and also because if we were understanding the temporary order that we apply for to get the ability to run at 30 mph. we didn't understand there was a need for it. next year, hopefully some of the years go back to 30 mph, we have to see which routes are affected. we'll also hopefully have the mitigation that was hoped for this year and the other places. we could also potentially look at re—routing as well, but the routes we have have been developed to test the riders and we have great relationships with the villages and towns where we go.

it was very rude awakening this morning for a lot of campers here at bramham park, we have seen reports that some people actually chose to leave the festival in the early hours of today. the ones that remained shared some really useful tips on how to repair some very broken tents. the festival organisers, festival republic have been releasing multiple statements throughout the day, first of all asking people to arrive on site a little bit later than normal and for those on site to stay in tents and cars until it is safe. they really stressed that safety is their number one priority, and delayed opening this main arena today for that reason. as for the stages, three stages have had all the performances cancelled. that is the radio one stage, the aux stage and sadly the chevron stage. that was new, it was described as a world first. it had a led light canopy above it. that had to be cancelled today. lots of people have been talking about whether they might perhaps get a refund or a partial refund on some

of their tickets. that is still yet to be decided. as for the mood now, things are looking up, the weather is looking much better for the rest of the weekend and people are looking forward to the rest of leeds fest. next up, it's the six o'clock news and we are expecting rokjunior to withdraw formally. the latest of the indian prime minister's visit to kyiv, too. let's catch up with all the weather details with ben rich. see you tomorrow. hello. after bringing wind gusts of more than 70mph to some parts of the uk, storm lilian is already clearing away, but the weekend does still look quite unsettled. not as windy as it has been, but still fairly windy. some heavy rain at times — equally, some spells of sunshine.

there goes storm lilian. this hook of cloud on the earlier satellite image clearing away northeastwards. we find ourselves right now in this slightly clearer slot, albeit with some showers. the showers most frequent up towards the north and the west of the uk, parts of northern ireland and scotland. staying pretty breezy, but not as windy as it has been. these are the wind gusts we can expect around the end of the afternoon. temperatures peaking at around 22 degrees across east anglia and the south east. scotland and northern ireland more like 14—17 degrees. now, through this evening and tonight, we will continue to see some quite hefty showers. and for the second half of the night, this stripe of cloud and rain developing across southern and eastern parts of england, just fringing into the southeast of wales. a pretty mild night towards the south, slightly cooler and fresher further north and west, where we will start with a little bit of sunshine tomorrow morning. not so further south — heavy rain for the channel islands. rain across a good part of central

and southeastern england, and in spots to the southeast of london, we have this met office yellow warning, because some areas could possibly see up to 70mm of rain, so that could well give rise to some flooding and some travel disruption. that rain tending to clear around lunchtime. some hefty, thundery showers behind. northern ireland and scotland seeing a mix of sunny spells and showers, but temperatures really quite disappointing for this point in august — 13—18 degrees at best. so what about sunday? well, high pressure tries to build from the south without an awful lot of success. low pressure still close by, so there will be some showers. in fact, a little frontal system here, bringing some more persistent rain across northern ireland, western scotland, parts of northern england and wales through the day. a little bit drier further south and east. those temperatures may be recovering to around 20 celsius. monday, which is a bank holiday for many of us, of course, does look a little bit drier and a little bit warmer, and it is set to turn warmer still for some of us

as we head through next week.

at six — after what are believed to be the bodies of mike lynch and his daughter are recovered from the wreck of his yacht, their family says, it's devastated.

the luxury vessel sank during a violent storm off the coast of sicily. five other people also died. the energy price cap is going up. a double whammy for millions of pensioners, after changes, to winter fuel payments. and last year was really scary but we did get the help last year. but we still felt the cold. the funeral takes place of elsie dot stancombe, who was seven years old, one of the three girls killed in the southport knife attack. and, wild weather hits the leeds festival, as storm lilian, blows in. hello.
