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. now, will we all be able to keep the lights on this winter. the government says there will be no energy crisis in the coming weeks, but fleet streets finest have been pondering the question, and they're not so sure. the other big story domninating the front pages, the passing of a footballing legend. this the front page of the metro.
11:31 pm
most of the papers reflect on the �*genius of greavsie�* in one way or another as the world of football pays tribute to the passing of one of its greats. and next to a photo of a young jimmy greaves the metro headlines "crisis? watt crisis?", with a play on �*what�*, because the paper says despite emergency talks between government and energy company leaders, a cabinet minister insists "there's no need to panic". hospitals cancelling operations and food supplies being hit, reports the guardian, which says there will be an emergency meeting with the business secretary and energy chiefs tomorrow morning after a weekend of frantic meetings. the i says energy firms are demanding an end to the price cap. the financial times says the uk's largest energy suppliers are requesting a multi—billion pound emergency support package from government. and the times reports that
11:32 pm
with energy suppliers on the brink of collapse, taxpayers will face a bill for propping up energy firms. 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 began. the cost of payouts for nhs maternity errors is put at £8.2 billion over the past 15 years, is the independent�*s headline. and the mirror says simply "goodbye greavsie" to what the paper call a "true legend". so, let's begin. where going to look at some of those stories a little bit more in depth. front page of the time, taxpayers face bill for propping up energy firms was up and the government is already suggesting that it could be offering emergency state backed
11:33 pm
loans to the energy sector. this is according to our business editor simonjack. the public could be on the hook for this but i suspect that might be the price has to be paid in order to keep the lights on.- order to keep the lights on. yeah, for those of _ order to keep the lights on. yeah, for those of us _ order to keep the lights on. yeah, for those of us who _ order to keep the lights on. yeah, for those of us who remember - order to keep the lights on. yeah, | for those of us who remember that order to keep the lights on. yeah, l for those of us who remember that i financial crisis back in 2007, 2000. when the taxpayer had to bail out the sector. this is strangely reminiscent of some of the front pages for tomorrow looks like with the number of energy companies that are teetering on the brink of ruin because of the four fold increase in gas prices just since the start of the year. the taxpayer looks like it's going to be there to keep the
11:34 pm
lights on and allow us all to have a family christmas again. at the moment, the government is working through these solutions, nationalisation is been talked about and other solutions a bit like what did happen during the financial crisis with the idea of a bad bank of customers that get abandoned by energy companies that collapse. but this feels like it's come on, a crisis that's come on really quickly. in the solutions are pretty complicated. quickly. in the solutions are pretty complicated-— quickly. in the solutions are pretty comlicated. ., , , ., complicated. some of the papers are su: caestin complicated. some of the papers are suggesting that _ complicated. some of the papers are suggesting that the _ complicated. some of the papers are suggesting that the energy _ complicated. some of the papers are suggesting that the energy firm - complicated. some of the papers are suggesting that the energy firm are i suggesting that the energy firm are going to request that the price be lifted so that they had a better chance of surviving. do you think thatis chance of surviving. do you think that is a possibility? it something that is a possibility? it something that i think that is a possibility? it something that l think they _ that is a possibility? it something that i think they are _ that is a possibility? it something that i think they are definitely - that i think they are definitely trying — that i think they are definitely trying to— that i think they are definitely trying to get ahead of before it becomes— trying to get ahead of before it becomes a massive problem. as ian said, _ becomes a massive problem. as ian said. it's _ becomes a massive problem. as ian said, it's come on us very suddenly

11:37 pm
moment or two of headlines, the most significant thing here is the decision of the uk, the us and australia to get together to put this deal designed to dry and address what they regard as chinese adventurism in the indu pacific. i think that's really for me the most important story rather than this diplomatic falling out.— diplomatic falling out. yeah, is there a sense _ diplomatic falling out. yeah, is there a sense that _ diplomatic falling out. yeah, is there a sense that perhaps - diplomatic falling out. yeah, is - there a sense that perhaps president macron phasing an election next year, presidential election, he's got to placate some of those on the right who might feel that they want to vote for marine le pen. this is the french being tough on the international stage. and responding to what they see as a stab in the back. . , , ., , to what they see as a stab in the back. . ,,., , ., �* ,, ., back. absolutely. i don't know if it's, incenses _

11:39 pm
because some of those members of nato decided they weren't going to tell a crucial partner that they were going to come to in agreement to fend off the chinese. i were going to come to in agreement to fend off the chinese.— to fend off the chinese. i think we are already _ to fend off the chinese. i think we are already seeing _ to fend off the chinese. i think we are already seeing the start - to fend off the chinese. i think we are already seeing the start to - are already seeing the start to cool are already seeing the start to cool. i think to some extent the headlines that we are getting from tomorrow i think behind the page. micron and biden are due to talk in the next few days —— president macron. 0f the next few days —— president macron. of course it will cool because i think the nato alliance is so strategically important for everybody who is involved in it. this spot is basically a bout a procurement deal, it's not about the solidity of nato. shill procurement deal, it's not about the solidity of nato.— solidity of nato. all right, 0k, workin: solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to _ solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move _ solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move on _ solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move on to - solidity of nato. all right, 0k, working to move on to the - solidity of nato. all right, ok, | working to move on to the daily telegraph. johnson to press the us to open up for uk visitors. prime
11:40 pm
ministers white house trip aims to convince president biden over travel ban. we saw the ditching of the traffic light system. now countries are on a red list or they are open for travel. and a lot more countries have been taken off this red list now. there is a sense that while the uk is open for business perhaps for british travellers america is not open for business. in the prime minister want to change that. i think it's quite clear here from what _ think it's quite clear here from what boris is going to push for is that he _ what boris is going to push for is that he feels they a unequal balance here that _ that he feels they a unequal balance here that of course we have opened up here that of course we have opened up our— here that of course we have opened up our borders and we said to the americans who are double jabbed can come _ americans who are double jabbed can come over— americans who are double jabbed can come over without having to quarantine because of the ditching of restrictions. so he seems to feel like that— of restrictions. so he seems to feel like that should be reciprocated. at the moment only us citizens and
11:41 pm
residents— the moment only us citizens and residents can travel from the uk and for most _ residents can travel from the uk and for most of— residents can travel from the uk and for most of europe and canada as well _ for most of europe and canada as well. although it's been reported that there is not expected to be in an announcement from biden this week, _ an announcement from biden this week, it _ an announcement from biden this week, it looks like that something that boris— week, it looks like that something that boris is very clearly going to bring _ that boris is very clearly going to bring up~ — that boris is very clearly going to bring up. and with this building of special— bring up. and with this building of special relationship between the uk and us, _ special relationship between the uk and us, it _ special relationship between the uk and us, it seems like that is going to be quite — and us, it seems like that is going to be quite an important agreement or decision — to be quite an important agreement or decision to come to in order to continue — or decision to come to in order to continue that relationship. it can be interesting to see how relations looked _ be interesting to see how relations looked hy— be interesting to see how relations looked by the end of the week. that's— looked by the end of the week. that's an — looked by the end of the week. that's an interesting point that after the signing of the accord as it were, there may be a sense that the uk wants a little bit out of that agreement. that perhaps might mean in easing of us travel rules.
11:42 pm
look, as a business guy we all want to get out and about to be able to see clients, to be able to see customers get normally for million brits —— it million brits travel to america each year. that's been down to a trickle over the last 18 months it's really important that we can get travelling again. i think boris johnson is going to make that point. he's also... this is his first trip because of the pandemic, he's also going to be making the point by the deal that he wants to see at the top climate summit. and of course the role that america can play, the decision biden took himself during the campaign to take a two america back into the climate deal, a deal that trump took america out of.
11:43 pm
