in the north and cooler for gales in the north and coolerfor most of us, this weather front lying a i cross the eastern side of the country brought torrential downpours, parts of east anglia, it will loiter bringing further cloud, rain during the overnight period although most of the thunderstorms will fade away. more cloud pushing into western scotland and northern ireland, as well by the end of the night but for most clear skies, light winds, it will turn cool out—of—town, a bit of mist and fog but mild in the south—east. so we still have that weather front in the south—east for monday monday, scotland and northern ireland, so here this will spoil the sunshine through the day, turning breezy and cloudy with spots of rain here, a few showers still across the south—east but a fine day for many, with sunshine and feeling warm, particularly in the south west. hello.

this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment but first our top stories. the england and tottenham footballing legend, jimmy greaves, has died. he was 81. the government says it's confident there's no risk to energy supplies for customers, amid soaring gas prices and warnings more businesses could go bust. sir ed davey says only the lib dems can deprive borisjohnson of a majority, at the next election, and he urges activisits to reach out to voters, in traditional tory heartlands. the presidents of france and america are to speak in the coming days to try to ease tensions caused by a new security pact involving the us, the uk and australia. the actorjohn challis, best known for playing boycie in only fools and horses has died, at the age of 79.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is sian elvin, assistant news editor at metro.co.uk and iain anderson, who's executive chairman of the public affairs firm cicero, he's also the government's newly appointed lgbt business champion. can we be sure they will be no energy crisis this winter? the governor has assured us that that fleet street's fines have been pondering that.

are the lights going out? the government says there will be no energy crisis this winte, but can we all be sure? fleet street finest have been ponderinmg that question... the guardian says there will be an emergency meeting with business and a nation she sat for a week fronting meetings. the ra says energy firms are demanding an end to the price cap, household bills are set to soar in some energy supplies could go bust. financialtimes in some energy supplies could go bust. financial times says the uk's largest energy suppliers are requesting a multi—billion pound emergency support package from taxpayers to help them survive. an borisjohnson will press the united states to open up travel for uk visitors during his white house trip says the telegraph alongside a

report that the number of children going to a&e with serious mental health issues has risen by more than 50% since the pandemic. and the cost of payouts for nhs maternity evidence is put at £8.2 billion over the past 15 years. that's according to the front page there. and said simply goodbye greavsie to what the paper goals h foo legend. we can now have a look at some of those one pages in detail. —— at what the paper calls a football legend. there were calls for... the business secretary is in talks with off gem. are we heading for a winter crisis, by the looks of things? it for a winter crisis, by the looks of thins? , ., ., , things? it is one of those things that obviously _ things? it is one of those things that obviously we _ things? it is one of those things that obviously we have - things? it is one of those things that obviously we have seen - things? it is one of those thingsl that obviously we have seen over things? it is one of those things - that obviously we have seen over the weekend and the government is telling us not to panic over it and

obviously it kind of is that thing where when we are told not to panic over it it inevitably makes people start to panic but i think it is a safe and a good side calling for these emergency meetings and a great sign that they are calling for this emergency package because what they are trying to do is get ahead of this before it becomes a massive problem just heading out from the last throes of summer into the autumn and as we head towards the colder weather that is something that everyone is going to be concerned about and i think there are two parts to this, really. of course, we are looking at how businesses are going to be affected. i know it is still in a report that they are concerned that suppliers have gone out of business since august and they fear that by the end of the season there could only be between six and ten left but the other side that some of the other

front pages have touched on this evening is how this is going to affect people's household bills. of course, this is when we reach the winter that is going to coincide with the reduction of universal credit by £20 a month, which has been reported on over the summer and the last couple of months. concerns have been raised by charities about whether people are going to be squeezed even more with the reports that off gem have raised the caps so suppliers can cover their costs. this is kind of a wide reaching problem that is obviously going to affect not only businesses but obviously going to affect, you know, households as well across the country, so it is definitely a concern but crazy quieting is looking ahead and trying to get on top of a developing crisis. —— kwasi kwarteng is looking ahead and trying to get on top of the developing crisis. i to get on top of the developing crisis. , . . , to get on top of the developing crisis. , . ., , , , ., to get on top of the developing crisis. , . . , , , ., ., crisis. i see a gas behind you that.

with how people, particularly with how people you know, i going to be affected by this going forward through the winter, i think with these meetings, the emergency meeting that they are going to hold tomorrow, if they can come to some kind of agreement work you know, they can come out with some kind of bailout then maybe that could be some form of solution but again they are discussing this concern about how christmas is going to go ahead and concerns about the shortages of c02 and they are very concerned about how this is going to impacts on what we have been discussing over the last few days. impacting on supply, food supply, and if people are not going to be able to get their christmas turkey and the issues that we had last year and the locks and coming back into force last minute when the government made their u—turn. you know, people do

want to enjoy their christmas this year with all of these concerns about bills and you know, aside from any kind of lockdown or anything to do with covid—i9, i think that, you know, people do want to enjoy their christmas and that is not something you can blame people for. if christmas and that is not something you can blame people for.— you can blame people for. if that sto is you can blame people for. if that story is anything _ you can blame people for. if that story is anything to _ you can blame people for. if that story is anything to go _ you can blame people for. if that story is anything to go by, - you can blame people for. if that story is anything to go by, and i you can blame people for. if that story is anything to go by, and it| story is anything to go by, and it is correct, is we may well be the case that the government may be considering state backed loans and getting rid of the price cap and that the government is considering offering emergency state backed loans to the energy sector in an attempt to deal with a full—blown crisis that could see dozens more energy retailers go bust in the coming days and weeks. the price the energy firms may have to pay for a bailout is keep the five scrap up.

—— is to keep the price cap. remember, for those of us that do remember, — remember, for those of us that do remember, it was ed miliband when he was labour— remember, it was ed miliband when he was labour leader that came up with the concept — was labour leader that came up with the concept of an energy price cap and it— the concept of an energy price cap and it was— the concept of an energy price cap and it was pooh—poohed at the time and it was pooh—poohed at the time and then— and it was pooh—poohed at the time and then theresa may's government forcing _ and then theresa may's government forcing the _ and then theresa may's government forcing the concept and it is kind of work— forcing the concept and it is kind of work to— forcing the concept and it is kind of work to both the and really for the market too. it has, to some extent, — the market too. it has, to some extent, created the competition that we have _ extent, created the competition that we have been talking about but, yes, a bit like _ we have been talking about but, yes, a bit like we — we have been talking about but, yes, a bit like we saw during the financial— a bit like we saw during the financial crisis, if the government, if taxpayer— financial crisis, if the government, if taxpayer support is going to be used _ if taxpayer support is going to be used to— if taxpayer support is going to be used to make sure we get christmas and it— used to make sure we get christmas and it looks — used to make sure we get christmas and it looks like there is they will still be _ and it looks like there is they will still be a — and it looks like there is they will still be a price to pay for the energy— still be a price to pay for the energy companies are not all those energy— energy companies are not all those energy companies are not all those energy companies are not all those energy companies are going to make it through _ energy companies are going to make it through. some of the stories on the front— it through. some of the stories on the front pages tonight for tomorrow

taiking _ the front pages tonight for tomorrow talking really about letting some firms _ talking really about letting some firms go — talking really about letting some firms go to the wall, letting some firms— firms go to the wall, letting some firms go— firms go to the wall, letting some firms go into administration but if the taxpayer is going to support there _ the taxpayer is going to support there wiii— the taxpayer is going to support there will be a price to play. we are auoin there will be a price to play. are going to there will be a price to play. - are going to move onto the front page of the guardian, then. down at the bass in there, france cancels uk defence meeting. this is in response to that tripartite caucus deal between australia, us and britain. the french left losing billions in a contract with the australians and they are pretty miffed and as a result of this meeting is not going to go ahead this week.— to go ahead this week. know, and that is a bit _ to go ahead this week. know, and that is a bit confusing _ to go ahead this week. know, and that is a bit confusing because - that is a bit confusing because earlier today the government were very sure that it was going to go ahead and saying we have got really strong and working defence partnerships and so suddenly it is a bit strange that they have just, you know, pulled it very last minute when everyone seemed very sure it

was going to go ahead so they have kind of said it has been postponed, not said it has been fully cancelled but obviously it is a matter of concern for ben wallace the defence secretary and now he is going to have to, you know, try to pull this back and i think itjust basically highlights about how you know, with the recalling of the ambassadors to the recalling of the ambassadors to the us, france's ambassadors for the us and australia, obviously, you know, this diplomatic row, that relations are at a low and it is clearly showing that this has impacted on the uk as well and i think that will be something to definitely watch over the course of the coming days and weeks to what happens with that relationship. shall. i mean, defence cold never batted back the talks from australia, canberra and from washington but not from the uk saying they were just a junior opportunist partner in all of this.

bit of a digger there. but now this defence meeting has been cancelled, it seems clear that they france are taking out their ire on london as well. ~ , ., taking out their ire on london as well. ~ , . ., well. well, it is all getting a little bit. — well. well, it is all getting a little bit, kind _ well. well, it is all getting a little bit, kind of, _ well. well, it is all getting a little bit, kind of, gunboat l well. well, it is all getting a l little bit, kind of, gunboat tea well. well, it is all getting a - little bit, kind of, gunboat tea in terms _ little bit, kind of, gunboat tea in terms of— little bit, kind of, gunboat tea in terms of the rhetoric. i think to some _ terms of the rhetoric. i think to some extent some of the uk media is missing _ some extent some of the uk media is missing the _ some extent some of the uk media is missing the bigger picture here, that this — missing the bigger picture here, that this is the uk, australia, and the us— that this is the uk, australia, and the us getting together for a quite significant geostrategic pivot. there — significant geostrategic pivot. there are lots of reasons for that, but, _ there are lots of reasons for that, but, actually, ithink there are lots of reasons for that, but, actually, i think more of the commentary really needs to focus on that really— commentary really needs to focus on that really rather than the french getting _ that really rather than the french getting rather upset at the minute. they are _ getting rather upset at the minute. they are clearly very, very upset but in _ they are clearly very, very upset but in strategic terms, you know, the deal— but in strategic terms, you know, the deal that has taken place, this

of the former england, tottenham and chelsea footballer, jimmy greaves, who has died at the age of 81. the football commentator, john motson, told mejimmy greaves was one of his "boyhood heroes" and went on to become one the true footballing greats. motty said so many of his happy memories were tinged only by the sadness of today. i was actually at west ham to join in the minute's silence there today but my mind went back, you know, to 1957. i was 12 years old, and jimmy greaves became a boyhood hero of mine, and i will tell you why, because they used to play football on christmas day in those days, and my father took me to stamford bridge on the 25th of december, 1957, and i saw chelsea beat portsmouth by seven goals to four. and 17—year—old jimmy greaves, who'd just come into the chelsea side, scored four goals that day and i was hooked, on the achievements of this guy. and if i could just advance that four years,

he played for chelsea for four seasons, and he scored 132 goals in those four years, and his last game for chelsea was at the end of the 60/61 season, when he'd already agreed to go and play in italy for ac milan. chelsea's last game that season was at home to nottingham forest. they won 4—1, jimmy was chaired off, and he scored four goals in that game as well! unbelievable. i mean, i think something that we need to point out is thatjimmy greaves was an english centre forward, but he wasn't 6'2", he wasn't strapping, he wasn't physically imposing, what was interesting about this man was the way he revolutionised what it meant to be an english striker. it was about positioning, it was about ghosting into positions. it wasn't about just getting the high ball in the middle of the box and then heading it in, he was an agile, skillful player. well, yes, and also, remember he often played

with a centre forward, certainly in chelsea in his early days he did. he did at tottenham, with alan gilzean, spurs fans will certainly remember that. brian clough, england. jimmy was the goal poacher, he played alongside the main striker, but if you saw some ofjimmy�*s goals, he could go past, three, four, five defenders and his finishing was absolutely faultless, and i always remember the great bill nicholson, the tottenham manager, trying to tell another player who was with him at that time, how to finish, and bill nicholson said jimmy greaves passed the ball to the stanchion. he didn't blast it into the net, he stroked it in. he caressed it in. absolutely. given his brilliance, given his postional awareness and given he was fit, the fact that he didn't play in that 66 final, at wembley, in the world cup, against the germans, that was a bitter, bitter blow, wasn't it? it was a great disappointment tojimmy, yes, and who knows,

i mean, alf ramsey picked the team he thought was right on the day and we won the world cup, so you can't argue too much with it in hindsight. butjimmy was certainly the greatest striker of his era, i mean, i always remember brian clough, who himself scored some 200—and—something goals in his playing career, saying that the only player better than him at finishing wasjimmy greaves and everybody else would go along with that, because, jimmy through on the goalkeeper, or through on the last defender you knew he was going to score. yeah, he had the touch, there's no question about that. and just in that report from katie gornall, just seeing some of the way he could move the ball with left — with both feet, i mean, absolutely incredible, but, of course, he had his problems, no question about that, in the late �*60s after the world cup and into the �*70s,

but he reinvented himself again as a pundit. he was up for yourjob, probably, motty! yeah, yeah, with ian stjohn he got that programme going for itv and it was humorous. jimmy had a terrific sense of humour, and he could rise to the occasion, and do that kind of thing on stage when required, but i mustjust say, one of the players i've been watching at west ham today is cristiano ronaldo, playing for manchester united, who of course scored, didn't he? and his goal—scoring record one goal to one match, so to speak, is probably unequal in modern times, butjimmy greaves' record, goals per game, wasjust as good, and that's probably the best compliment i can pay him. yeah, what is it? 266 goals for tottenham, still a record to this day. yes, 357 in the league, and there were all the other goals as well in cups and internationals. i mean, his...his statistics,

or his figures, if you like, compare with any striker past or present, and, i mean, him passing away today, it was, it was funny it should happen on a day when tottenham were playing chelsea, because they're the two clubs who probably he had the greatest time with, although he later played for west ham, but, i mean, you can't really put him in any other context than to say he was the greatest goal scorer of his generation bar none. indeed, indeed. 44 goals in 57 games, for england, was he one of the trailblazers? in english football, playing on the continent? 44 goals in 57 games, for england. was he one of the trailblazers? in english football, playing on the continent? how common was that,

when he was playing for ac milan? it wasn't very common and he didn't last there very long, he fell out with the coach and he came back to tottenham within six months of leaving chelsea, but yes, i mean, he was at the start of that time when english football and english players had begun to attract a lot of attention on the continent, in fact his goal scoring record, his short spell at ac milan wasn't bad either. so was that the reason ac milan got him, they wanted goals? yes, absolutely. his fame spread — even in the days when english football was insular — jimmy greaves's fame spread across the world. his goal—scoring feats, as i said, at the time and probably since, more or less unequalled anywhere, and it's sad today, to be talking like this about him in the past, but his record stands unparalleled, in his time, and unequalled, really, in many ways by any english goal—scorer since. what would you say, john, is his legacy then, his enduring legacy, notjust the goals but the way that he played the game? well, his speed off the mark, the way he finished, the fact that he got the crowd

excited every time the ball came anywhere near him because they knew that his stock—in—trade was his finishing. he may not do a lot anywhere else on the pitch, but he was unerring when he got through with, say, one or two defenders and a goalkeeper, and his legacy is about how he put the ball in the back of the net, and nobody else did it better. and he didn't track back, then? he didn't have to. when you had a record likejimmy greaves you could play in the other half or penalty area. he didn't have to track back — he was doing enough of the team with his goal—scoring! incredible. i mean, when was the last time... did you ever come across him in later years? yes, isaw, i interviewed him once at his home in brentwood, and he, he was so amusing when he looked back on his career, and he said about what he'd done at chelsea and what he'd done at tottenham, and then he said, "oh, yeah, then i went to west ham, "and they said my best days

were definitely at tottenham", and he was so amusing with the way he looked back on his career — so modest, if you like — and if you asked him to explain the skill he had in scoring goals, he would just... he couldn't really tell you how he did it. it was pure instinct, and he emerged as a 15—year—old in the chelsea schoolboys, and he kept scoring all the way through his career, right up to and including west ham and all the late england games. his record just stands there, for all time. yeah. mine the memory banks now, motty. mine the memory banks — what was the best goal he ever scored? i think the best goal he ever scored was the one against manchester united at white hart lane, when he picked the ball up and went through four or five players. there's another one where steve perryman, who was a youngster at the time, plays the ball through to him against newcastle, and again he goes round the last defender, round the goalkeeper and slots the ball in the back of the net. those goals were

typicaljimmy greaves. yeah, yeah. we saw couple of those, actually, in katie gornall�*s piece. yes. and what is your abiding memory of him, would you say? i think my abiding memory is definitely going round full circle to where i started, seeing him play at 17 years of age, for chelsea, and realising that, even at that young age i was watching a genius play football, and i queued up for his autograph and i'm proud to say i got it. you got it? all right, and you've still kept it somewhere? certainly. absolutely, absolutely. john, it's good to get your reflections on the late jimmy greaves, a fantastic player. well, i can't really do him justice, clive, because he was that good, but there'll be all sorts of things in the papers tomorrow, and looking back on previous actions — althouthimmy, of course, played

in an era when there was hardly any colour television at first, his goals were all in black—and—white, but, no less, no less fantastic for that obviously. oh, yes, the goals were in black—and—white, but i am sure the memories are all in colour. he brought the colour to the game, clive. exactly, exactly. john, it's a pleasure to talk to you, and thank you so much for your reflections on the late jimmy greaves. cheers, motty. thank you, mate. cheer, bye clive. hello there. we saw a reverse of fortune today, weather—wise. it was the eastern side of the country which saw the cloud and the showers. further west, we had the best of the sunshine. now, this week is also going to be a tale of two halves. we're starting the week off on a fine note, with a ridge of high pressure, plenty of sunshine, and it will be quite warm. by the end of the week, low pressure takes over, bringing a risk of gates and it will feel cooler for us all as well. now, eastern england continues to see these weather fronts through the evening and the overnight period, lingering around east anglia and the south—east. i think most of the thunderstorms will fizzle out, but there will still be some heavier bursts of rain there. some more cloud pushing into western scotland, perhaps northern ireland by the end of the night.

but, elsewhere, under clear skies and light winds, it's going to turn quite chilly, with temperatures dipping into single figures for many, a little bit of mist and fog developing. but still quite mild in the south—east with that weather front — 13 or 14 degrees. so, this is the pressure chart for monday. we still have that weather front in the south—east, a new cluster of weather fronts pushing into scotland and northern ireland as the day progresses, so turning increasingly cloudy, breezy here, with a few showers. we'll continue with a few heavy showers, perhaps, acorss the south—east through the day. this also tending to fizzle out, but elsewhere, lots of sunshine. feeling quite warm, 21, maybe 22 degrees in the warmest spots. now, our area of high pressure continues to build in on tuesday, so i think at this stage, it looks like tuesday could be the best day of the week, regarding widespread sunshine and also warmth. so, a bit of mist and fog to start the day, and then many places will be dry, with lightish winds and some good sunny spells. but it will be breezier for scotland and northern ireland, variable amounts of cloud, even some splashes of rain for western scotland. so, the high teens here, but further south, 20—22 celsius. feeling very pleasant. now we start to see some

changes by mid—week — we'll see this area of high pressure pull away from the south. a deep area of low pressure to the north of the uk will begin to exert its force across scotland and northern ireland. be turning very windy here, with a weather front sinking south—eastwards, so outbreaks of rain, followed by sunshine and blustery showers and it will be windy with gales. england and wales — not a bad day again, i think, for wednesday. we'll see some sunny spells around, quite warm, too, but it will be breezier than monday and tuesday. and then, for the end of the week, thursday and friday, all areas look windier, particularly across the north of the country, where we will see further showers and it will feel noticeably colder in the north.
