good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. crisis talks on soaring gas prices — the government considers propping up struggling energy firms. we've got to try and fix it as fast as we can, make sure we have the supplies we want, make sure we don't allow the companies we rely on to go under. we'll have to do everything we can. the gas price is having a knock—on effect on food supplies too. could we see the impact on our supermarket shelves in the lead up to christmas? covid vaccines for 12—15—year—olds are available in england and scotland from today. a volcano erupts on the canary islands — the army is called in

as thousands are evacuated. tributes for one of the game's greats — former england striker jimmy greaves, who's died. there was applause at all of sundays premier league matches in memory of the man who is still the leading goal—scorer in the english top flight. the emmy goes to... the crown. the crown wins best drama at the emmys in los angeles — olivia colman is named best actress for her portrayal of the queen good morning from the chelsea flower show. the first time in 108 years of this show has been held in autumn. of course due to the pandemic. the of course due to the pandemic. the weather today for most will be dry, some sunny spells, showers in the south—east easing, or cloud and patchy rain coming into the north—west later. i will have all the details in about ten minutes. it's monday the 20th of september. our top story. crisis talks between the government

and energy bosses will be held later, as ministers consider emergency state—backed loans to encourage firms to take on more customers. surging gas prices have left some energy companies battling to stay afloat while supermarkets have warned they could also affect food supplies. the prime minister has said the problems are temporary. katy austin reports. the price of natural gas — a key source of the energy which heats our homes and powers our industries — has soared. it's a global issue with causes including high demand. the price has gone up so much that some smaller energy suppliers have gone bust. there are fears more will follow. the regulator 0fgem says it's working to ensure consumers continue to be protected. the business secretary held crisis meetings with the industry at the weekend, and there will be further talks today. because the industry forecasts ahead, we can see that this is a peak and then we expect prices come down in the spring. so, really, conversations are about how we manage a very tight autumn/winter period and the specific impacts we think that these prices

will have on industry. another knock—on impact of energy being so expensive is that production has been halted at two large fertiliser plants in england. they make carbon dioxide as a by—product, and that is used widely by food producers — for example, in meat production and packaging. some manufacturers and supermarkets have warned of shortages if the problem isn't urgently resolved. iceland says it's not seeing problems yet, but the situation is a concern. 0ur supply chain are building up an additional 1—2 week stock — particularly on key lines that they're worried about, such as frozen meats — just to ensure that if if the c02 just to ensure that if the c02 crisis does last any longer than a few days — or, indeed weeks — we will be able to keep servicing our stores and ultimately our customers. the government's spoken with the company which runs the fertiliser plants, to discuss options around getting them going again.

food businesses say the carbon dioxide disruption couldn't have come at a worse time — with the supply chain already under pressure as they struggle to get enough workers and lorry drivers. wholesale gas prices are unlikely to come down just yet, and eventually they could feed through into higher energy bills for households. katy austin, bbc news. let's talk more about this with our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. good morning. what more can you tell us? we good morning. what more can you tell us? ~ ~' ., good morning. what more can you tell us? ~ ~ ., , ., us? we know there will be a meeting today between _ us? we know there will be a meeting today between the _ us? we know there will be a meeting today between the business - today between the business department and the energy companies and we will have a lot more information after that meeting has taken place. at the moment the government is relying on the existing system for when you have a problem with energy suppliers, which is that if a smaller supplier goes bust and its customers are transferred over to a larger energy supplier, and that is known as a supplier, and that is known as a supplier of last resort. the problem here is that for big energy companies it is not a very attractive prospect because the cost

of supplying those customers is going to be so high, so is that where the government is going to have to step in and provide support? 0r have to step in and provide support? or it do you see them doing something else with maybe off gem, the energy regulator, kind of taking over struggling energy supply and running it for a little while, which would be legal under the law? normally in the circumstances the government has a dilemma of do you spend taxpayers money or do you just let the market do its thing and let companies to take the strain? we can get a clue to which direction the government is heading when you listen to what the prime minister was saying about this issue when he landed in new york overnight. we've got to try and fix it as fast as we can, make sure that we have the supplies that we want, make sure that we don't allow the companies we rely on to go under — we have to do everything we can. but this will get better as the market starts to sort itself out, as the world economy gets back on its feet _ there are all sorts of ways in which the suppression of the world economy — caused by covid — is now expressing

itself as problems of recovery. to me, that sounds like a prime minister who is ready to intervene, certainly in the short—term, but also trying to reassure people that this will not affect the supply of gas to your house and it will be resolved eventually.— gas to your house and it will be resolved eventually. thanks very much indeed. _ france has cancelled a meeting between its armed forces minister and the uk's defence secretary, ben wallace, which was due to be held this week. it's after a new security deal between britain, the us and australia led to france losing out on a major contract in the process. the prime minister insists relations with paris are "very friendly". 12—to—15—year—olds in england and scotland will start receiving covid vaccines from today. in wales, invitations will be sent out this week, while the programme is expected to start shortly in northern ireland. meanwhile, millions of older and vulnerable people will also be contacted to arrange their booster shots.

0ur health correspondent katharine da costa reports. having waited for older age groups to be vaccinated, the uk's12—to—15—year—olds are next in line to be offered a jab. some scottish health boards will start administering pfizer vaccines at drop—in clinics from today. those still making up their minds can choose to wait for an appointment later this month. while the risk to you being severely ill may well be low, we want to make sure every single 12—15—year—old is protected — and not only protect themselves, but also, as they go to school, it helps to protect hopefully their teachers and others that they interact with at school. at some schools in england, where permission forms have been sent back, nhs staff are expected to begin immunising teenagers from today, with most likely to start later this week. the decision over whether to vaccinate the over—12s has been finely balanced because young people are at very low risk from covid. while data has shown a very small chance of teenagers suffering

from heart inflammation after the pfizer vaccine, catching covid also increases the risk of developing myocarditis. last week, the uk's four chief medical officers said 12—to—15—year—olds should be offered a job to help protect a jab to help protect their education and mental health. i think it is really about recognising that, not only is the vaccine helpful for young people to reduce the risk to their health and to educational disruption, but there's also contributing to trying to get through this pandemic, where we still have high rates of infection in the community and younger people taking up a vaccine will contribute to reducing those over time. elderly care—home residents who are most at risk from the virus are being prioritised for booster shots. england and wales have already made a start, while scotland begins its campaign today, and northern ireland's roll—out�*s due later this month. health and social care workers, the over—50s and younger adults with underlying health conditions will also be eligible six months after their second jab.

the nhs in england and wales will start contacting people by text or letter this week. vaccinations will play a central role in helping the uk to navigate what some fear could be a difficult winter ahead. katharine da costa, bbc news. folic acid is to be added to flour across the uk, to reduce the risk of life—threatening spinal conditions in babies. the government said the move could prevent up to 200 cases of birth defects every year. the new rules will only apply to non—wholemeal wheat flour, with gluten—free foods and wholemeal flour exempt. thousands of people have been evacuated after a volcano erupted on the island of la palma, in the canaries. several homes have been destroyed and a 2km—wide exclusion zone has been set up around the lava flow. this is the volcano's first major eruption for 50 years, as courtney bembridge reports. for the first time in half a century, the cumbre vieja volcano erupted —

with fountains of molten rock shooting hundreds of metres into the sky, and incandescent orange rivers flowing down the hillside. the island has been on high alert for the past week because of a huge increase in tremors — and thousands of people were told to leave their homes. the eruption started in the afternoon — plumes of smoke could be seen from across the island, and eyewitnesses described hearing a loud explosion. the noise coming from the volcano — it sounds like — i don't know — 20 fighterjets taking off right now, and it's extremely loud. two hours later, with rivers of lava edging down the hillside, soldiers were deployed to help get people out. prime minister pedro sanchez has arrived in la palma after postponing his trip to new york for the united nations' general assembly this week. experts say it's not clear how long the eruption will last,

and it's going to be an anxious wait for residents. courtney bembridge, bbc news. the wanted will play together for the first time in seven years at a charity concert organised by band member tom parker, who has a brain tumour. the group are set to perform at the royal albert hall tonight as part of stand up to cancer's inside my head show, and tom — speaking to this programme last week — said he hopes the show will raise important funds for medical research into brain tumours. this disease for the last 20 years has been, you know, pretty much untouchable. no—one's been able to find a cure. no—one's been able to find a treatment. this is the brain tumour. the brain tumour, yeah. you know, nothing's really changed so we really want to just focus on trying to get as much money and funding into charities as much as possible, so they can try and find new breakthroughs. and it feels like they're on the cusp of doing it. so...hopefully this

concert can make a change. and we will have more on how the concert went on tomorrow's programme. that was an amazing interview stuck in a fantastic, and we wish them loads of luck for tonight and we will have more tomorrow. there was plenty of british success at the emmy awards in los angeles overnight. the crown won best drama series, with 0livia colman being named best lead actress in a drama series. 0ther accolades went to michaela coel for for her drama i may destroy you and kate winslet was named best actress in a miniseries for mare 0f easttown. the apple comedy ted lasso was another of the night's big winners. i'm going to be very quick because i am very teary. i wish my dad could be to see this. i lost my during covid and he would have loved all of this. the wonderful 0livia colman there.

will become their home. did a few virtual tours, but that was it, really. i didn't know what it was going to be like at all. i was saying to my mum, "what if i get up there and i hate it?" it could be completely, like, out of my depth. but, no, i'm loving it so far. i went to uni last year— and i studied a different course, it was quite similar. but, obviously, being. a creative course online, it was just so difficult. like, we weren't getting to use the facilities, i we weren't getting the one—to—one we should have got. _ like, already, i was saying i've had a better week... _ not even a week — the last two days. i've already met so many people. i feel, like, so much more i passionate about my course. i'm enjoying it so much more. so, yeah, ithink i made the best decision i could have. _ at many universities across england, lectures on campus are back and face coverings are no longer mandatory, but students are advised to do covid tests regularly. the idea of future restrictions is still a concern. i hope it doesn't happen again. they did say, yesterday, in the lecture... they said they've got a plan if it does happen. if we get put into lockdown.

no, none of that! because i am from quite a small town, i knew that even - i being in lockdown here would bel somewhat better than down there, so i was like, as a whole, may as well go for it. i covid has had a huge impact on many aspects of student life. we were stuck in a tiny, tiny little house with so many people when it started. that wasn't fun. got into a lot of arguments. with fees of £9,000 a year and living costs, these third—year students feel out of pocket. i think we should have some compensation for... either teaching orfor the accommodation, because a lot of the rooms didn't get lived in, so people go back to their families, if they're shielding, or whatever. a lot of uni—based accommodation i have tried to give a bit of moneyl back, but a lot of private things, obviously, - what we were in last year, haven't done anything. i and when we weren't living in that house for something like six - months or so of the year, but we are still paying i rent every month. cherie is a second—year sociology student.

she first went to university at 18, but had to drop out. in the middle of the year, i sadly lost my mum. it was a really difficult time and that made me become a young carerfor my brothers. at the age of 23, she decided to go back. but the pandemic meant she wasn't able to experience university life. she is now part of a support group to help students who are struggling. last year was quite difficult, to be honest, in terms especially for mental health. like, it was quite isolating. ifeel like, as people, we like to have connections and stuff. having that aspect taken away last year, we could definitely see how people actually struggled. there are amazing charities out there who are willing to help lots of different people. if someone was to tell me that five or six years ago, cherie, you are going to be smiling, you are going to go back to uni and be having the time of your life, i would have thought they would be lying, because when you are in that moment of time, you don't think positively at all, because you are just taking in everything. but i always tell people to take it easy, take their time with it,

and just to be kinder to themselves. freshers' week marks the start of university life — a chance to enjoy new friendships and freedom. with the disruption of the past 18 months, it will also feel like a fresh start for many returning back to university. there is a real hope that things will be different this time. the pandemic caused huge disruption to student life. joining me now is the vice chancellor. good morning. exciting to see the students back. so exciting to happen on campus again _ so exciting to happen on campus aaain. ~ . so exciting to happen on campus auain.~ ., ., so exciting to happen on campus aaain. ., ., , . again. what sort of restrictions will ou again. what sort of restrictions will you keep _ again. what sort of restrictions will you keep in _ again. what sort of restrictions will you keep in place - again. what sort of restrictions will you keep in place here, i again. what sort of restrictions l will you keep in place here, what will you keep in place here, what will you keep in place here, what will you do to reassure students it is safe? ,, , , ., , ., is safe? students should understand we are following _ is safe? students should understand we are following government - we are following government guidelines to the letter. the risk assessment is being done all the time _ assessment is being done all the time and — assessment is being done all the time and students come through our heat scanners when they arrive, even semi-post- _ heat scanners when they arrive, even semi—post— pandemic come back on campus. _ semi—post— pandemic come back on campus, students in their classrooms have the _

out after a double—decker bus hit the front of a house in north london on saturday night. the 191, which wasn't carrying any passengers, collided with a car and then crashed into the front of the property in crouch end. police said there were no reports of any injuries. royal mail is trialling two types of micro electric vechicles for delivering letters and small parcels. the idea's to cut emissions. the vehicles will be trialled over six months in residential areas. it's hoped they will provide a lower carbon alternative to larger vans. yes, it's autumn, but the chelsea flower show gets under way today. the show was postponed from may due to the pandemic. spring and early summer blooms will be replaced by dahlias, pumpkins and autumn colours. well let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. the central line was having some problems with train cancellations this morning, but it looks like that's cleared up.

the piccadilly line has severe delays from acton town to uxbridge due to late finish to engineering work. time for the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was a rather wet day for many of us yesterday across the capital with some lively showers around. today is looking drier, but there are still some more showers to come in the forecast at times. this morning, another mild start to the day. we have temperatures in double figures. it's quite grey and gloomy out there for most of us. the cloud is thickest towards eastern areas of the capital. here, maybe the chance of a bit of drizzle, some light showers around through the morning. further west, we should see things brighten up slowly and a lot of that cloud will tend to break up, too. when we do get any spells of brightness and sunshine across the capital through the afternoon, do watch out because there may be one or two sharp showers developing, as well. top temperatures in the best of any brightness and sunshine will get as high as perhaps 19—20 celsius. through this evening and overnight, the winds stay light.

there will be some more mist developing. temperatures in some of the rural spots, where we see the clearest of the skies, could possibly drop back into single figures, so a chillier start to the day tomorrow, which is looking dry and fine. with still light winds, then we will see temperatures peak in the low 20s in celsius once more — 21 degrees for most of us. into wednesday and, again, it is dry and fine, but the winds will pick up through the afternoon. feeling more autumnal as we head through the rest of the working week. i'll be back in around half an hour. now it's back to dan and sally. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning. the competition is on for the glitterball trophy, and we'll bejoined by dan's strictly dance partner nadiya bychkova at 8.30. it's had many of us gripped to our screens for the past few sundays, and, later this morning, we'll meet the actor revealed as the russian agent in last night's episode of vigil.

and we'll look back on the life of former england and tottenham playerjimmy greaves, with his former teammate steve perryman. all that to come. talks have been taking place this weekend between energy companies and the government over what to do about escalating gas prices. there are concerns about the impact on consumers as well as food supplies. nina's been taking a look at this for us. good morning. we can talk about the politics but there are lots of things in play and ultimately you at home will wonder what it means. the wholesale price of gas — that's what suppliers pay before selling energy to us — that's been rocketing. it's more than three times the price compared to a year ago. why? well it's that simple equation of reduced supply, and increased demand.

as we come out of the pandemic and as we enter winter, our consumption requirements are increasing — so the demand side of the equation is increasing. unfortunately, the supply side is actually quite constrained at the moment. wind generation — on which the uk's become much more dependent — is low. _ the weather's been calm. our gas storage tanks are actually quite low at this time of year versus normal, due to certain supply constraints from russia. and also we've got some technical issues on the grid — for example, the interconnector fire that we saw happening last week, that's constrained the supply side. those two sides of the equation are imbalanced, wholesale prices are increasing. so as the supply is squeezed, the price our providers must pay, goes up. that has already pushed some out of business. the expectation is that more will follow. if you are with one of those suppliers, don't worry — you won't be cut off. regulators will continue your supply and any surplus

you have will be honoured. but choices for switching and rates being rapidly reduced. go compare is one of the comparison sites which has had to withdraw some offers. those still available are getting pricey. last year, the cheapest annual average fixed rate was around £700, now there are few deals below £1,200. we always tell you to shop around on breakfast. now we're in a strange situation where those on the standard variable tariff — about 15 million consumers — could be in the best position. because their bills are capped by the regulator. although from october, they could go up — by up to 12%. that could see the average gas and electric bill increase by about £140 a year to nearly £1,300 a year. what can you do as a consumer? well, bad news — we might have to get used to the price hike — for now at least.

and this isn'tjust about energy prices at home. businesses are suffering too. you might not know this, but lots of food suppliers need carbon dioxide to keep frozen products fresh, and to stun animals before slaughter. they get that as a bi—product from fertiliser producers — they've been suspended because of the gas prices. and so that could also affect what's on the shelves. the issue of lack of co2 on top of labour shortages and on top of problems with covid have made it difficult and challenging environment forfood producers. we environment for food producers. we would environment forfood producers. we would expect some difficulties with food production in the coming weeks. i think we, like others, are looking towards christmas and the difficulties we will face over the next months in the build—up to the end of the year.

that feeds into what we are seeing in squeezed supply chains because of shortages of labour and hgv drivers. we spoke about record—breaking inflation with average prices going up inflation with average prices going up already. think about the pressure families are under at the moment. looking ahead to increased payment in taxes and some families are about to lose the uplifting universal credit. the wider economic recovery is reliant on us having more to spend. any disposable income that is squeezed will have an impact on the wider recovery, so this is a big deal. you said it, this is a big deal. and that is something we will talk to the government minister about at 7:30am. the impact on so many different areas of the economy and something that impacts us at home. and the government, to the extent

may bail out suppliers, and also whether there needs to be reform on how this is regulated and whether competition is working for everyone. from today, the covid vaccine rollout for 12—15 year olds in scotland and england will begin — and invitation letters will start being sent out in wales this week. meanwhile, those who are eligible will be asked to book in for their boosterjabs. we're joined now by one of our regular gps, dr nighat arif. good morning. lovely to see you back in the kitchen. you were here last week but nice to have you back on the show on a monday. let's start with the vaccination of 12—15 year olds. what are you hearing with parents and children about that. it parents and children about that. it is a mixed bag of what people expect. a lot of disinformation on social media but actually a lot of

parents are on board with the fact we know we cannot allow children to miss school and we need to prevent postviral complications with children. there are kids who want the vaccine and kids who do not want the vaccine and kids who do not want the vaccine. we get a similar picture with parents. schools are trying to get a lot of information to parents to reassure them. and from doctors. we have had a lot of school mist that has impacted on mental health and family income because parents have had to stay at home when groups have her to stay off school and we cannot have a repeat of that. we know from day to around the world, after millions of doses given to 12—15 year olds, the pfizer vaccine is safe for children, the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks. if it prevents postviral complications, half the rate of

transmission and the possibility of getting sick and going to hospital and death, then vaccinations we know work and they prevent infection from spreading. if we can get a handle on the pandemic and hopefully get back to a sense of normality. this the pandemic and hopefully get back to a sense of normality.— to a sense of normality. this might be a difficult _ to a sense of normality. this might be a difficult question _ to a sense of normality. this might be a difficult question to _ to a sense of normality. this might be a difficult question to answer i be a difficult question to answer but in terms of take—up, what do you expect it to be? i but in terms of take-up, what do you exoect it to be?— expect it to be? i think it will be very high- _ expect it to be? i think it will be very high- the _ expect it to be? i think it will be very high. the take-up - expect it to be? i think it will be very high. the take-up in i expect it to be? i think it will be | very high. the take-up in adults, very high. the take—up in adults, two macro doses, roughly 85% of the aduu two macro doses, roughly 85% of the adult population vaccinated. booster doses have started for health care professionals. from what i hear, we had an event in the park with a mobile vaccination van to vaccinate 16-18 mobile vaccination van to vaccinate 16—18 year olds and they were going. there was no hesitancy. they were grabbing the opportunity, and there

was a lot of positivity among 12—15 year olds, because they are used to being vaccinated with hpv and bcg vaccines at school so it is an extension of what they get in school and flu vaccines are given to these age groups. they are a lot on board with the idea. in age groups. they are a lot on board with the idea-— with the idea. in terms of your “ob load. and what i with the idea. in terms of your “ob load. and what we i with the idea. in terms of your “ob load. and what we expect i with the idea. in terms of your “ob load. and what we expect of i load. and what we expect of front—line staff in the nhs, with 12-15s front—line staff in the nhs, with 12—15s being vaccinated, booster vaccines, talking about flu jabs. give us an assessment about what you feel it will look like in the build—up to winterfor feel it will look like in the build—up to winter for you. this feel it will look like in the build-up to winter for you. this is our second _ build-up to winter for you. this is our second autumn _ build-up to winter for you. this is our second autumn and _ build-up to winter for you. this is our second autumn and winter i build-up to winter for you. this is l our second autumn and winter time build-up to winter for you. this is i our second autumn and winter time in our second autumn and wintertime in the pandemic. last year there were mistakes made. we need to make sure we are prepared and we try to be

prepared. the government and health care professionals, did a lot on the vaccination programme. the winter plan to drive down the number of cases and keep pressure off the nhs and make sure patients are not in hospital. those in intensive care at the moment taking resources we need for other health care to be delivered are those not vaccinated. in the winter, you will be indoors. make sure if you can ventilate as much as possible. mask wearing will probably be part of that, as well. it is about being vigilant, washing hands and being sensible. the workload in general practice, it is immense. we have an ambitious flu vaccination programme that is slightly delayed because of delivery, van drivers not being able to get the vaccine. the vaccines are in primary care. we are rolling it out. we know the workload is going

to be huge. i think we can manage it. but patients need to be patient. there is a shortage of gps across the country and appointments. we are getting there. the country and appointments. we are getting there-— getting there. there are stories about folic _ getting there. there are stories about folic acid _ getting there. there are stories about folic acid being _ getting there. there are stories about folic acid being added i getting there. there are stories about folic acid being added to | about folic acid being added to flour, which you support. it about folic acid being added to flour, which you support. it has taken a long — flour, which you support. it has taken a long time _ flour, which you support. it has taken a long time to _ flour, which you support. it has taken a long time to come. i flour, which you support. it has taken a long time to come. we| taken a long time to come. we already have vitamin d. cereal boxes i was looking at, fortified with vitamin d and vitamin b12 and folic acid is important in pregnancy and the ideas we have this in flour. 200 neural defect cases can be prevented. we ask pregnant women to take folic acid a month before their

pregnancy and 12 weeks throughout but unfortunately some women forget and some pregnancies are not planned. so this is a great news story. i know you are desperate to get me off, as well, but this is organ donation awareness week. if you have any thoughts about that, i encourage everyone to turn around to their nearest and dearest and let them know your thoughts on that because we are trying to increase awareness and get people to think about donating. x�*t�*ou awareness and get people to think about donating.— about donating. you know the programme — about donating. you know the programme far— about donating. you know the programme far too _ about donating. you know the programme far too well. i about donating. you know the i programme far too well. everybody about donating. you know the - programme far too well. everybody in the gallery shouting we are out of time. have a lovely day. she knows us well. we are going to be talking about one of the footballers of his generation. jimmy greaves. this picture of him, i love this black and white shot of him.

he was my dad's favourite player. he rings me on few occasions about a story in the news but he loved jimmy greaves. i loved watching him on the television. he was a star for many people. everybody has their own memory, playing for chelsea, tottenham, england. but his broadcasting career. he just had broadcasting career. hejust had it. he just had it. whatever hejust had it. whatever it is. he had x factor before the x factor. saintand saint and greavesie. a true legend, the greatest english goal—scorer that ever lived, a charismatic, warm man. just some of the tributes being paid tojimmy greaves, the former england and tottenham striker who died at the age of 81. at all of yesterday's premier league matches, a minute's applause took place

in memory of the man who remains the leading goal—scorer in the english top flight. his former sides tottenham, chelsea and west ham all paid their respects. greaves also scored 44 goals in 57 games for his country. for me, jimmy was one of my heroes, as well. obviously, growing up, watching him play, we didn't have the amount of games on television that we now do, but managed to see him play a few times. i also was fortunate enough to meet him on numerous occasions, and he was always affable and fun and hugely knowledgeable. he was a great personality, a wonderful footballer and a man with huge charisma and fun, and he'll be much missed. well, it was fitting that two ofjimmy greaves' former teams were playing each otherjust hours after his death was announced, with tottenham taking on chelsea. it was his first club, chelsea,

who took all three points. thiago silva's header sent them on the way to a 3—0 win and to go joint top of the table. antonio rudigerfired in the third in stoppage time. manchester united are level on points with chelsea and liverpool after they beat west ham 2—1 at the london stadium. the home side took the lead, but five minutes later, cristiano ronaldo equalised with that rebound — his fourth goal in three games since re—signing. it looked as though the points might be shared, butjesse lingard, on loan at west ham last season, scored a stunning goal, putting manchester united in front with a minute to go. still time for another twist though. west ham awarded a penalty after a luke shaw handball. controversially, mark noble came off the bench to take it, hoping to be the stoppage time hero, but david de gea made his first penalty save in more than five years, giving united all three points. and brighton have continued their good start to the season. they're into the top four after beating leicester 2—1 in a dramatic game at the amex stadium. leicester had two late goals ruled out after var checks.

scottish champions rangers have gone back to the top of the premiership after a one—all draw with motherwell. fashion sakala put steven gerrard's side ahead injust the 12th minute at ibrox. but kaiyne woolery silenced the home fans just after the hour. it's the first time rangers have dropped points at home in the league since march last year. meanwhile, old firm rivals celtic lost for the fourth time in five games in all competitions as andrew shinnie's goal lifted livingston off the bottom of the scottish premiership with a 1—0 victory. celtic are now seven months without an away win domestically and are sixth in the table, four points off rangers. in the dundonian derby, it looked like the match was heading for stalemate. but ian harkes had other ideas, snatching the win for united with ten minutes to go. champions harlequins started the defence of their premiership rugby title with a bonus point win over newcastle. louis lynagh's two tries were added to byjoe marchant and danny care

to give quins a 26—20 win in the north east. it was a winning start for their new senior coach tabai matson. and england women beat new zealand in their one—day international. chelsea flower show? i can tell you like that. i can tell you like that. i have not been. i have not been, either. i have been. septemberfor the first time in many years, isn't it? where are your marrows, carol, good morning. a bit previous. for the first time in more than a century, the chelsea flower show is being held in september, which means pumpkins

and autumnal colours. members of the royal family and celebrities will get the first glimpse of the show, before it opens to the public tomorrow. our correspondent daniela relph reports. the finishing touches, a finalflourish, the pressure to get itjust right. chelsea is looking autumnal. the change in date this year means late—summer flowers like asters and dahlias are in their prime. and a september show gives designers a chance to display a warmer and grassier look. here, it's all about the trees. david dodd has designed the queen's green canopy garden to celebrate next year's platinum jubilee. we've got a field maple here and the field maple just gives the most spectacular yellow colour. and you can see it is already starting to turn now. it sits on the largest plot at chelsea.

21 trees have been planted with grassland, hay bales and a wildflower meadow. if everyone can get behind the campaign and plant a tree, we can make a huge impact and a huge difference to the environment. and you've got to think about what trees give us. and when i was asked to do it, i got very excited, because i'm a bit of a tree hugger. and just finally, do you think the queen would like this garden? i certainly hope so. i might be off to the tower if she doesn't. the autumnal look is everywhere, with a focus on harvest fruit and vegetables. an autumn chelsea will have a different feel and a different mood. but the show also hopes to capture that love of gardening and the outdoors that many of us discovered during lockdowns. giant window boxes in the cop26 garden to mark the un climate change conference in glasgow later this year. the message — even if you

don't have a garden, planting small flowers and shrubs can help combat the effects of climate change. and a tribute to nursing in the florence nightingale garden, marking 200 years since her birth. there are medicinal flowers here with a focus on wellbeing. and late—summer foxgloves — her favourite flower — ready to plant. some special guests got an early viewing, but these nurses will also be able to enjoy the garden after the flower show, when it's moved to st thomas' hospital in london. florence nightingale was very much a forward—thinking nurse. a lot of what we do today is very much embedded in what she taught us — nursing at the forefront, and, you know, that's where we still are. it's a privilege. i think, for a lot of nurses, i think they'll be overwhelmed by, i think they'll be overwhelmed by it if i'm really honest, and they'll be really proud to see someone saying thank you for all the hard work they've done. a chelsea flower show in september has brought its challenges for everyone involved. it's likely to be a one—off chance

to enjoy the unfamiliar sights an autumn show brings. daniel relph, bbc news, chelsea. you were right. can we now go to carol? yes, we can. i am so excited to get carol on the programme. good morning, carol. you almost gave me a heart attack a few minutes ago. i was in a conversation with the designer, and what? it has been 108 years since... in fact, never have they had an autumnal chelsea flower show before. it is because of the pandemic. you can see this spectacular garden taking inspiration from the city between mountain and water. and these features at the back represent skyscrapers. it illustrates how to

create green space, cleaner air and provide somewhere for wildlife to live. it connects people and nature in city environments and the show this year is showing the importance of wellbeing and fresh air. the plants are different. we are used to summer plants when it happens in may, now we are looking at plants such as salvias. the weather will be settled and the next few days, the forecast is fairly settled with sunny spells. from mid week, turning more unsettled. on the satellite picture, cloud across the south—east corner. yesterday, parts of east anglia had almost a month of rainfall. that is moving away. showers left behind it. today, after a cold start in rural areas, it will be dry with sunshine. from

lincolnshire to the south—east, prone to cloud with the odd heavy shower. through the day, you will find a weather front coming in across the north and west introducing thicker cloud and rain. temperatures range from 13 in the north to 21—22 as we come down south back into the sunshine. through evening and overnight, the weather front in scotland and northern ireland will sink south. by the time it gets into england and wales, it will not be much more than a band of cloud. showers in the south—east will die away, we will have clear skies. temperatures 9—13. that is how we start tomorrow morning. the weather front moving south, weakening and for most a dry day with sunny spells. another weather front coming across the north west will introduce cloud and splashes of rain. and here it will turn more

windy. temperatures similar to today. into the low 20s. later in the evening and overnight, you will find low pressure approaching the north—west. it will turn more windy in the north—west. without coming in overnight we will see rain here. tomorrow, the weather front producing rain in the north—west, move southwards, the rain will be heavier and at the end of the day across north wales. as it removes south, we will have a return to blustery showers. ahead of its sunshine but through the day more cloud developing. top temperature 21. i cannot tell you how lovely it is to be back here. normality has been restored once again. i cannot tell you how lovely it is to see you at chelsea. see you later,.

it has been a busy weekend for you. when i said good luck with strictly, knock yourself out it was not exactly what i meant. i am all right. i had to take a slight break from training. i have till next saturday to get ready for the live show. i am 0k. to get ready for the live show. i am ok. i no longer have a headache and i am allowed back to the dance floor. and you are super busy. and you are super busy. and you are super busy. and you have the dream partner. she is amazing. shall we look at the moment and remind everybody at the start of the series that kicked off on saturday night. this is weird. hello!

nadiya is clearly amazing. i'm absolutely over the moon. come up here, we'll have a chat. on my way. i'm honestly so happy to get dan as my partner. are you ready for a challenge? lam. be honest — is this a massive disappointment? are you ok? i'm so pleased. what do i need to work on in the meantime? i mean, should i be... oh, no — you just enjoy your time off because it's going to be full—on! 0k! are you disappointed by this? come on the. she is an amazing dancer. i did not realise how good she was. the only two—time ten world darts champion. she does latin and ballroom and has been world champion twice, back to back. she has a big job on the. you are already learning your first dance. i cannot tell you what it is yet. i would be killed by the strictly ninjas. i can show you. everything

has to be visual. i will draw a little thing. we have worked out i have to have pictures in my head all the time. i was trying to get in the correct ballroom position, trying to learn basics. we worked out if i draw nadiya's face on my hand, it enables me to get here. i have to put it towards me and then turned towards her otherwise my hand was in the wrong place. every time we train, i draw herface on my hand. does it need that much detail? and we call it handiya. when we dance about, she shouts handiya to me and i know to get into the correct ballroom position. that is how it works. one of those visual tricks. i cannot do that on the

actual show. why not? i would get in trouble. a good idea. it works in training but i have to work out a way when we actually do it. i havejust actually do it. i have just realised actually do it. i havejust realised i've actually do it. i have just realised i've drawn that with permanent marker. i need to get rid of that before she turns up, otherwise it will be embarrassing. you will need it several weeks, so keep it there. several weeks. keep it there. severalweeks. i keep it there. several weeks. i am keep it there. several weeks. iam not keep it there. several weeks. i am not sure you are backing the right horse. i am determined to enjoy it. time to get the news where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. london has two new tube stations today on the northern line — the first major expansion since the late �*90s. the first trains began to run between nine elms and battersea power station around 5.30 this morning. here's our transport correspondent tom edwards. welcome correspondent tom edwards. to nine elms tube st. on welcome to nine elms tube station, on the new northern line extension,

which hasjust opened. it is on the new northern line extension, which has just opened. it is the first extension to a tube line in the capital we have had for 20 years. it cost £1 billion and eventually it's going to be paid for by developers who have to contribute when they are building in this area in battersea, but this is a big deal for this area. lots of new homes, lots ofjobs. the new northern line extension is now open. the new foreign secretary, liz truss, is to meet the iranian foreign minister to call for the immediate release of uk nationals — including nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. nazanin, from west london, has been detained in iran since 2016, convicted of propaganda against the iranian regime. her husband richard ratcliffe said he has urged liz truss to make her case a top priority. royal mail is trialling two types of micro electric vehicles for delivering letters and small parcels. they'll try them out over six months in residential areas. it's hoped they will provide a lower

carbon alternative to larger vans. yes, i know it's autumn — but the chelsea flower show gets under way today. it was postponed from may due to the pandemic. the early summer blooms you'd usually see will be replaced by dahlias, pumpkins, and autumn colours. well, let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. the circle line has minor delays clockwise after some train cancellations. and the piccadilly line has minor delays from acton town to uxbridge as engineering work's overrun. time for the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was a rather wet day for many of us yesterday across the capital with some lively showers around. today is looking drier, but there are still some more showers to come in the forecast at times. this morning, another mild start to the day. we have temperatures in double figures. it's quite grey and gloomy out there for most of us. the cloud is thickest towards eastern areas of the capital. here, maybe the chance of a bit of drizzle, some light showers around through the morning. further west, we should see things brighten up slowly and a lot of that cloud will tend to break up, too.

when we do get any spells of brightness and sunshine across the capital through the afternoon, do watch out because there may be one or two sharp showers developing, as well. top temperatures in the best of any brightness and sunshine will get as high as perhaps 19—20 celsius. through this evening and overnight, the winds stay light. there will be some more mist developing. temperatures in some of the rural spots, where we see the clearest of the skies, could possibly drop back into single figures, so a chillier start to the day tomorrow, which is looking dry and fine. with still light winds, then we will see temperatures peak in the low 20s in celsius once more — 21 degrees for most of us. into wednesday and, again, it is dry and fine, but the winds will pick up through the afternoon. feeling more autumnal as we head through the rest of the working week. i'll be back in around half an hour — plenty more over on our website. now it's back to dan and sally. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent.

our headlines today. crisis talks on soaring gas prices — the government considers propping up struggling energy firms. we've got to try and fix it as fast as we can, make sure we have the supplies we want, make sure we don't allow the companies we rely on to go under. we'll have to do everything we can. how will it affect the energy bill on your doorstep? we'll hear the thoughts of an industry boss in the next few minutes. covid vacccines for 12—to—15—year—olds are available in england and scotland from today the emmy goes to... the crown. the crown dominates at the emmy awards. it bags best drama. olivia colman is named best actess for her portrayal of the queen on a big night of british success. tributes and applause — for one of football's greats, jimmy greaves — we'll reflect on his life with a former team—mate. we'll reflect on his life

good we'll reflect on his life morning from the chelsea f show. good morning from the chelsea flower show. the first time in 108 years it has been held in the autumn. due to the pandemic. the weather today is dry with sunny spells for most, xiao is easing in the south—east but later we will see some rain coming in across the north west. all the details in ten minutes. it's monday the 20th of september. our top story. crisis talks between the government and energy bosses will be held later, as ministers consider emergency state—backed loans to encourage firms to take on more customers. surging gas prices have left some energy companies battling to stay afloat while supermarkets have warned they could also affect food supplies. the prime minister has said the problems are temporary. katy austin reports. the price of natural gas — a key source of the energy which heats our homes and powers our industries — has soared. it's a global issue with causes including high demand. the price has gone up so much that some smaller energy suppliers have gone bust.

there are fears more will follow. the regulator 0fgem says it's working to ensure consumers continue to be protected. the business secretary held crisis meetings with the industry at the weekend, and there will be further talks today. because the industry forecasts ahead, we can see that this is a peak and then we expect prices come down in the spring. so, really, conversations are about how we manage a very tight autumn/winter period and the specific impacts we think that these prices will have on industry. another knock—on impact of energy being so expensive is that production has been halted at two large fertiliser plants in england. they make carbon dioxide as a by—product, and that is used widely by food producers — for example, in meat production and packaging. some manufacturers and supermarkets have warned of shortages if the problem isn't urgently resolved. iceland says it's not seeing problems yet, but the situation is a concern.

our supply chain are building up an additional 1—2 week stock — particularly on key lines that they're worried about, such as frozen meats — just to ensure that if the co2 crisis does last any longer than a few days — or, indeed weeks — we will be able to keep servicing our stores and ultimately our customers. the government's spoken with the company which runs the fertiliser plants, to discuss options around getting them going again. food businesses say the carbon dioxide disruption couldn't have come at a worse time — with the supply chain already under pressure as they struggle to get enough workers and lorry drivers. wholesale gas prices are unlikely to come down just yet, and eventually they could feed through into higher energy bills for households. katy austin, bbc news. let's talk more about this with our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. good morning. what more can you tell us? we good morning. what more can you tell us? ~ ~' ., good morning. what more can you tell us? ~ ,, ., ., ., ., ., good morning. what more can you tell

us? . ~' ., ., ., ., ., ., us? we will know a lot more later on toda after us? we will know a lot more later on today after the _ us? we will know a lot more later on today after the business _ us? we will know a lot more later on today after the business secretary i today after the business secretary kwasi kwarteng has had his meeting with the energy companies. but the issueis with the energy companies. but the issue is that under the existing system in a smaller company goes bust its customers are transferred to a large energy company. that has already happened to hundreds of thousands of consumers in the last couple of months. the problem is it is not an appealing prospect for the big energy firms because it is becoming more expensive to take on those customers. is the government going to have to get involved to make that process a bit more appealing for those firms? or do you do the other back—up option, which is the energy regulator 0fgem stepping in and taking overfailing firms? which ever option the government goes for it leads to the government goes for it leads to the government and, by extension, the taxpayer getting involved. that sounds like something the prime minister borisjohnson is quite comfortable with doing. we've got to try and fix it as fast as we can, make sure that we have the supplies that we want, make sure that we don't allow the companies we rely on to go under —

we have to do everything we can. but this will get better as the market starts to sort itself out, as the world economy gets back on its feet _ there are all sorts of ways in which the suppression of the world economy — caused by covid — is now expressing itself as problems of recovery. so the prime minister stressing this is a temporary issue that will go away eventually. also this morning the government is stressing nobody will lose their gas supply to their household as a result of any of this. . ~ household as a result of any of this. ., ,, , ., household as a result of any of this. ., ,, i. , , ., ,, household as a result of any of this. ., ~' i., , , ., ~' ., this. thank you, we will speak to ou this. thank you, we will speak to you later- _ france has cancelled a meeting between its armed forces minister and the uk's defence secretary, ben wallace, which was due to be held this week. it's after a new security deal between britain, the us and australia led to france losing out on a major contract in the process. the prime minister insists relations with paris are "very friendly". 12—to—15—year—olds in england and scotland will start receiving covid vaccines from today.

in wales, invitations will be sent out this week, while the programme is expected to start shortly in northern ireland. some scottish health boards will start administering pfizer jabs at walk—in clinics from today, while appointments can be pre—booked for later this month. while the risk to you of being severely ill may be low, we want to make sure every single 12—15—year—old is protected, and not only protected for themselves, but also as they go into school, it helps to protect, hopefully, their teachers and others they interact with at school, too. thousands of people have been evacuated after a volcano erupted on the island of la palma, in the canaries. several homes have been destroyed and a two—kilometre—wide exclusion zone has been set up around the lava flow. this is the volcano's first major eruption for 50 years. the wanted will play together for the first time in seven years at a charity concert organised by band member tom parker who has a brain tumour. the group are set to perform

at the royal albert hall tonight as part of stand up to cancer's inside my head show and tom, speaking to this programme last week, said he hopes the show will raise important funds for medical research into brain tumours. this disease for the last 20 years has been, you know, pretty much untouchable. no—one's been able to find a cure. no—one's been able to find a treatment. this is the brain tumour. the brain tumour, yeah. you know, nothing's really changed so we really want to just focus on trying to get as much money and funding into charities as much as possible, so they can try and find new breakthroughs. and it feels like they're on the cusp of doing it. so...hopefully this concert can make a change. that was a brilliant interview we have the other day, so moving. it have the other day, so moving. it was fantastic, he spoke so openly and brutally honest about it, which i think probably helps him and has helped a lot of other people, as well.

and we will have more on how the concert went on tomorrow's programme. it is 7:10am. carol is at the chelsea flower show which for the first time in a century is taking place in september. but not alone! good morning. who place in september. but not alone! good morning-— place in september. but not alone! good morning. who is this gorgeous creature chris _ good morning. who is this gorgeous creature chris good _ good morning. who is this gorgeous creature chris good morning! - good morning. who is this gorgeous creature chris good morning! this i good morning. who is this gorgeous creature chris good morning! this is| creature chris good morning! this is flash. creature chris good morning! this is flash- guide — creature chris good morning! this is flash. guide dogs _ creature chris good morning! this is flash. guide dogs at _ creature chris good morning! this is flash. guide dogs at the _ creature chris good morning! this is flash. guide dogs at the 90th i flash. guide dogs at the 90th anniversary guide here and flash is one of— anniversary guide here and flash is one of the — anniversary guide here and flash is one of the dogs you will see if you come _ one of the dogs you will see if you come down — one of the dogs you will see if you come down today. she is a friend of the programme she was on our programme on the 28th of april trainer— programme on the 28th of april trainer mel and she nibbled programme on the 28th of april trainer meland she nibbled her programme on the 28th of april trainer mel and she nibbled her head and was _ trainer mel and she nibbled her head and was only 18 weeks old. she has grown _ and was only 18 weeks old. she has grown a _ and was only 18 weeks old. she has grown a bit — and was only 18 weeks old. she has grown a bit and is very well behaved _ grown a bit and is very well behaved. she is gorgeous. the first guide _ behaved. she is gorgeous. the first guide dogs— behaved. she is gorgeous. the first guide dogs for the blind weight german— guide dogs for the blind weight german shepherds, but as you can see she is_ german shepherds, but as you can see she is a _ german shepherds, but as you can see she is a beautiful, beautiful labrador. the forecast for the next few days _ labrador. the forecast for the next few days is — labrador. the forecast for the next few days is going to be barely settied~ — few days is going to be barely settled. there will be some sunny spells _ settled. there will be some sunny spells around and then as we move on

support. how much of that help is needed at the moment? goad support. how much of that help is needed at the moment? good morning. i think what we — needed at the moment? good morning. i think what we are _ needed at the moment? good morning. i think what we are seeing _ needed at the moment? good morning. i think what we are seeing right - needed at the moment? good morning. i think what we are seeing right now - i think what we are seeing right now is that some of those smaller companies that were perhaps less prudently run less well backed already had financial problems queueing up. the current hike in gas prices and wholesale global gas prices and wholesale global gas prices is kind of causing issues that were already there to kind of come to a head. i think the most important thing is that, first of all, when we have been in times like this, larger companies like ours, and the government, we work together with 0fgem to make sure customers of those companies that are in trouble are well looked after. the most important thing is that festival customers don't need to worry about their energy supply and if anything does happen to the company which supplies them there are a well oiled processes to make sure that, you know, not only will their energy supply continue but things like credit balances will be protected. thanks to the price cap, of course, they can be sure that they are not

area we need to focus on right now is, if some of those companies that were already not in a great place to leave the market, how do we make sure that that is a minimum cost to other bill payers and to the public purse? in other bill payers and to the public urse? , ., ., ., , purse? in terms of how long this miaht ao purse? in terms of how long this might go on _ purse? in terms of how long this might go on for. _ purse? in terms of how long this might go on for, some _ purse? in terms of how long this might go on for, some people i purse? in terms of how long this | might go on for, some people are suggesting things might start improving within the next two weeks, but also some people are suggesting it might not get fixed until spring because the price will remain high. what is your forecast? timer;r because the price will remain high. what is your forecast?— because the price will remain high. what is your forecast? they are both ri . ht. what is your forecast? they are both right. short-term _ what is your forecast? they are both right. short-term issues— what is your forecast? they are both right. short-term issues are - right. short—term issues are affecting the uk only, really. for example, so much of our nuclear capacity is off—line at the moment for unplanned maintenance. it is the equivalent of between three million and 5 million homes with electricity not being generated. we are having to use gas for that instead. those kind of unplanned maintenance issues look like they will be largely resolved over the next couple of weeks. that is the short—term improvement. the longer term across the entire winter, what we face is

high gas prices driven by global supply and demand, sol high gas prices driven by global supply and demand, so i think it is certainly the case that, unfortunately, the uk is at the mercy of these global forces in fossil fuels. mercy of these global forces in fossilfuels. but mercy of these global forces in fossil fuels. but as the supply and demand picture begins to even out towards the middle to the end of this winter, i think, you know, towards the middle to the end of this winter, ithink, you know, at least by then we will get some respite. i least by then we will get some res - ite. ., �* least by then we will get some resite. ., �* ,, ., least by then we will get some resite. ., �* 4' ., y., , respite. i don't know if you will be able to answer— respite. i don't know if you will be able to answer this _ respite. i don't know if you will be able to answer this is _ respite. i don't know if you will be able to answer this is probably - respite. i don't know if you will be i able to answer this is probably what people will be asking at home. how much are pills going to go up by this winter? irate much are pills going to go up by this winter?— much are pills going to go up by this winter? ~ ., ., ., , , this winter? we have already seen the ener: this winter? we have already seen the energy price — this winter? we have already seen the energy price cap _ this winter? we have already seen the energy price cap increase - this winter? we have already seen the energy price cap increase by l the energy price cap increase by £150. if the price cap is not in place i'm pretty sure that the formic big six would have hiked prices by hundreds of pounds. they could have been 300 to £500 higher than we are seeing. the increased prices are going to flow through to the next price cap, so i think you may see another kind of increase in the next price cap from might, as well. , g. . ~' , ., the next price cap from might, as well. , g. . ., the next price cap from might, as well. , ., ., well. greg jackson from octopus enera , well. greg jackson from octopus energy. thank— well. greg jackson from octopus energy, thank you _ well. greg jackson from octopus energy, thank you very - well. greg jackson from octopus energy, thank you very much. i

there was a standing ovation forjean smart for her role in hacks — the comedy series which beat ted lasso to writing and directing awards. many tears of joy were shed in appreciation for those that created the places we escaped to during a pandemic year when we perhaps needed them more than ever. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. that looked like a spangly night. wonderful. ~ ., ., that looked like a spangly night. wonderful-— wonderful. what a celebration. amazinu wonderful. what a celebration. amazing story _ wonderful. what a celebration. amazing story for _ wonderful. what a celebration. amazing story for you - wonderful. what a celebration. amazing story for you this - wonderful. what a celebration. - amazing story for you this morning. two paramedics who were attacked while on duty have been honoured for their bravery at an awards ceremony celebrating health and social care workers. deena evans and michael hipgrave were recognised at the sun's annual who cares wins awards for their dedication and courage in difficult situations. here's the moment their names were read out by the duke of cambridge. please welcome to the stage our 999 heroes — deena evans and michael hipgrave. applause.

welcome to nine elms tube station, on the new northern line extension, which hasjust opened. it is the first extension to a tube line in the capital we have had for 20 years. it cost £1 billion and eventually it's going to be paid for by developers who have to contribute when they are building in this area in battersea, but this is a big deal for this area. lots of new homes, lots ofjobs. the new northern line extension is now open. the new foreign secretary, liz truss, is to meet the iranian foreign minister to call for the immediate release of uk nationals, including nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. nazanin, from west london, has been detained in iran since 2016 — convicted of propaganda against the iranian regime. her husband richard ratcliffe said he's urged liz truss to make her case a top priority. an investigation is being carried out after a double—decker bus hit

the front of a house in crouch end on saturday night. the 191, which wasn't carrying any passengers, had collided with a car first. police said there were no reports of any injuries. royal mail is trialling two types of micro electric vechicles for delivering letters and small parcels. they'll try them out over 6 months in residential areas. it's hoped they will provide a lower carbon alternative to larger vans. let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. the circle line has minor delays clockwise after some train cancellations. and there's no piccadilly line between wood green and cockfosters due to a faulty train. time for the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was a rather wet day for many of us yesterday across the capital with some lively showers around. today is looking drier, but there are still some more showers to come in the forecast at times. this morning, another mild start to the day. we have temperatures in double figures. it's quite grey and gloomy out there for most of us. the cloud is thickest towards eastern areas of the capital.

here, maybe the chance of a bit of drizzle, some light showers around through the morning. further west, we should see things brighten up slowly and a lot of that cloud will tend to break up, too. when we do get any spells of brightness and sunshine across the capital through the afternoon, do watch out because there may be one or two sharp showers developing, as well. top temperatures in the best of any brightness and sunshine will get as high as perhaps 19—20 celsius. through this evening and overnight, the winds stay light. there will be some more mist developing. temperatures in some of the rural spots, where we see the clearest of the skies, could possibly drop back into single figures, so a chillier start to the day tomorrow, which is looking dry and fine. with still light winds, then we will see temperatures peak in the low 20s in celsius once more — 21 degrees for most of us. into wednesday and, again, it is dry and fine, but the winds will pick up through the afternoon. feeling more autumnal as we head through the rest of the working week. i'll be back in around an hour. now it's back to dan and sally.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. the prime minister has arrived in new york for the un general assembly, where he'll urge world leaders to take concrete action on climate change. however, a diplomatic row with france over a new security deal, and the ongoing crisis in the energy sector, may dominate his attention. we're joined now by foreign ministerjames cleverly. good morning. can we start with the as crisis, good morning. can we start with the gas crisis. on _ good morning. can we start with the gas crisis, on the _ good morning. can we start with the gas crisis, on the mind _ good morning. can we start with the gas crisis, on the mind of— good morning. can we start with the gas crisis, on the mind of many i gas crisis, on the mind of many viewers this morning? the prime minister said the government will do everything it can in response. what will the government do? the priority ofthe will the government do? the priority of the government _ will the government do? the priority of the government is _ will the government do? the priority of the government is one, _ will the government do? the priority of the government is one, to - will the government do? the priority of the government is one, to protect consumers from unpredictable price hikes. we have done that through the energy price cap. and also support

suppliers than fewer. the business secretary has spoken and will continue to speak with the sector about how we respond to what should be a short—term issue globally. our priority is protection of the consumer and protecting the integrity of the gas supply. we will explore with the market the best way of doing that. if we can keep a diversity of suppliers, that would be something we would seek to deliver. ., ., deliver. one thing we have heard from viewers _ deliver. one thing we have heard from viewers this _ deliver. one thing we have heard from viewers this morning i deliver. one thing we have heard from viewers this morning is i deliver. one thing we have heard from viewers this morning is that this comes at a time when households are under financial strain, this comes at a time when households are underfinancial strain, national are under financial strain, national insurance are underfinancial strain, national insurance rises, extra money needed for nhs and social care, more than 5 million receive universal credit who are losing £20 a week uplift. in the light of increased costs for energy, will the government reconsider looking at the universal credit

is sustainable way of making sure people have decent pay packets and that through employment. it is absolutely right we make sure we match vacancies to people seeking work and watch the natural phenomenon of supply and demand of increasing wages through the economy. increasing wages through the econom . ~ increasing wages through the economy-— increasing wages through the econom .~ , ., ., economy. will you consider again removinu economy. will you consider again removing the _ economy. will you consider again removing the uplift? _ economy. will you consider again removing the uplift? that - economy. will you consider again removing the uplift? that uplift l economy. will you consider again i removing the uplift? that uplift was tem ora removing the uplift? that uplift was temporary and _ removing the uplift? that uplift was temporary and always _ removing the uplift? that uplift was temporary and always meant - removing the uplift? that uplift was temporary and always meant to - removing the uplift? that uplift was temporary and always meant to be l temporary and always meant to be temporary and always meant to be temporary and always meant to be temporary and it is important temporary and it is important temporary measures are temporary, because if every single response like an uplift on universal credit had to be permanent, it would massively limit the flexibility of governments in dealing with one—off events like the coronavirus pandemic. ultimately, because of the number of vacancies, we will naturally see employers have to increase wages to attract new staff

and to retain existing staff and thatis and to retain existing staff and that is the better way to get more money into people's pay packets. will you bail out some of these energy firms?— will you bail out some of these energy firms? will you bail out some of these ener: firms? ~ ., ., ., ., will you bail out some of these ener: firms? ., ., ., ., , energy firms? what we want to do is to ensure they _ energy firms? what we want to do is to ensure they stay _ energy firms? what we want to do is to ensure they stay afloat _ to ensure they stay afloat organically. to ensure they stay afloat organically-— to ensure they stay afloat organically. to ensure they stay afloat oruanicall .~ ., ., , ., ., organically. what does that mean? what it means _ organically. what does that mean? what it means is _ organically. what does that mean? what it means is that _ organically. what does that mean? what it means is that we _ organically. what does that mean? what it means is that we want - what it means is that we want businesses to stay afloat through their own efforts. so businesses to stay afloat through their own efforts.— their own efforts. so you will not be bailin: their own efforts. so you will not be bailing them _ their own efforts. so you will not be bailing them out? _ their own efforts. so you will not be bailing them out? what - their own efforts. so you will not be bailing them out? what we i their own efforts. so you will not i be bailing them out? what we want their own efforts. so you will not - be bailing them out? what we want to make sure it — be bailing them out? what we want to make sure it is — be bailing them out? what we want to make sure it is we _ be bailing them out? what we want to make sure it is we protect _ be bailing them out? what we want to make sure it is we protect the - make sure it is we protect the integrity of supply, protect consumers, commercialand consumers, commercial and residential, and consumers, commercialand residential, and we will discuss with the industry the best way of doing that. we want diversity in the market. we also want to protect consumers. exactly how we do this is up consumers. exactly how we do this is up for discussion and i will not speculate on how that might happen.

with huge charisma and fun. and he will be much missed. commentator: greaves coming in from the right wing! _ and greaves will score. the word legend is used loosely at times. injimmy�*s case, he absolutely earned it, he deserved it. greaves hit it first time. he scores! as a goal—scorer, there has been none better. i don't think we are going to see anybody better. he was the best of the best. 0h, beautiful football. what a great goal. fabulous goal. i don't live in the past. i've got to be perfectly honest with you, i've never really looked back and thought, oh, if only i could do it all again, you know. in fact, it's a relief i don't

have to do it all again! we're joined now by former tottenham player steve perryman, who started with the youth team while jimmy was still a player at the club. good morning. lovely to talk to you, i know under sad circumstances. what was it like going into the club at that point and having jimmy around, what was he like?— that point and having jimmy around, what was he like? good morning, yes, a treat what was he like? good morning, yes, a great man. — what was he like? good morning, yes, a great man, never— what was he like? good morning, yes, a great man, never boasted. _ what was he like? good morning, yes, a great man, never boasted. just - what was he like? good morning, yes, a great man, never boasted. just did l a great man, never boasted. just did what he did. he did hisjob, which was scoring goals. he did it on such a regular basis. if you passed him in the corridor, he would shout out to you. he paid you the respect of giving you a smile, made you feel at home. a great personality. very friendly. a delight to be around, absolute delight. indie friendly. a delight to be around, absolute delight.—

absolute delight. we talk a lot about his personality - absolute delight. we talk a lot about his personality and - absolute delight. we talk a lot - about his personality and charisma but let's for a moment to remind ourselves of the numbers. his statistics stand the test of time. his numbers still stand up, even now, especially when you consider he retired at 31. in terms of skill and talent, how do you rate him? i would sa he talent, how do you rate him? i would say he was — talent, how do you rate him? i would say he was a — talent, how do you rate him? i would say he was a professional— say he was a professional goal—scorer. he was a master craftsman of his art, which was scoring goals. which everyone would say is the most difficult part of being a football player in a team. hisjob was to being a football player in a team. his job was to score the goals and he lived for scoring goals. he was thinking about scoring goals every minute of the day. he said other people need to run around, other people, specialists in the team, the

goalkeeper, the centre back who heads it, and he was one ready to get the ball and run at the he encouraged lots of supporters into the game. he was a great advert for the game. he was a great advert for the game. he excited supporters. i always talk to supporters about why you support this or that club. and lots of answers especially from tottenham people, the very first game they saw tottenham people, the very first game they sanimmy greaves and he scored a goal and he played and did this and excited us. that was the hook that made them keep coming. he was notjust a star in the box but on the box. the second half of his career, people will remember him for that. he was brilliant on the telly. he entertained people all his life, on the pitch, in the dressing room, in the tvstudios. i knew him in a

second type of dressing room. he is to do a theatre tour. i sometimes would join him as a so—called special guest. hejust would join him as a so—called special guest. he just had would join him as a so—called special guest. hejust had people in uproar. he entertained them. he had a special weight. what else he did, he listened to people. i would make sure, if i was due to meet him at six o'clock before a seven o'clock show, he listened to your stories. i was at exeter. he would know our last six results. he knew how essex cricket team were doing and why they were struggling. he was a rugby fanatic. jimmy, unfortunately, the last years of his life, this very special man inside this body with wonderful thoughts and wit and personality that just really

couldn't get out. that was the biggest shame of all. this very special man finished off in a way... he was very happy, i have to say. what is remarkable about him, he talked about, we have spoken about his battle with alcoholism. he conquered those demons. that is no small achievement, amongst all the other achievements in his life, he managed to come back from that. infer? managed to come back from that. very much so. everyone _ managed to come back from that. 7 much so. everyone was my career has highs and lows and you would have to say that was part of his low. his injury picked up in the world cup 1966 meant he did not take part in that magnificent vinyl. it is about how you recover and how resilient you are —— magnificent final. he was the most magnificent person i have met. he could come back from adversity like no one else. it shows

in the autumn in 108 years, or if ever, it is the first time due to the pandemic. and this is the cop26 garden. this area you can see here represents flooding and building on flooding areas. flood plains. it is also showing how gardening can play an important role in mitigating climate change, looking at issues such as managing soil and water run—off. and also different plants suited to extreme weather conditions. perhaps, behind me, is the most symbolic, which is the gingko tree which has survived multiple extinctions and is still going strong. you can see the autumnal flowers going strong. you can see the autumnalflowers behind me. the dahlia popular at the show this

that it has been held in autumn, due to the pandemic. the weather today for most will be dry, it mike levin the southeast with the heavy shower and later a front, get to the north—west will introduce some rain. i will all the details in about ten minutes. it's monday the 20th of september. our top story. crisis talks between the government and energy bosses will be held later, as ministers consider emergency state—backed loans to encourage firms to take on more customers. surging gas prices have left some energy companies battling to stay afloat while supermarkets have warned food supplies could also be affected. the prime minister has said the problems are temporary. let's talk more about this with our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. we spoke to james cleverly about half an hour ago, what did you learn from listening to him? idat half an hour ago, what did you learn from listening to him?— from listening to him? not a lot but we will learn _ from listening to him? not a lot but we will learn a _ from listening to him? not a lot but we will learn a lot _ from listening to him? not a lot but we will learn a lot more _ from listening to him? not a lot but we will learn a lot more once - from listening to him? not a lot but we will learn a lot more once they i we will learn a lot more once they business secretary kwasi kwarteng has a meeting with all the big

energy firms and we will get more detail about the thinking of the government. the issue is there is an existing system for helping energy companies, orthe existing system for helping energy companies, or the customers of energy companies, that go bust. you are meant to be transferred to another larger energy supplier, or in extreme circumstances, and this has never been done before, the regulator of gem can step in and appoint a special administrator to take control of one of those companies. however, existing system has never had to deal with this many energy companies finding themselves in trouble. what the government and the industry are doing now is looking at the kind of back—up plan for what you can do. does that involve loans, bailouts, government takeovers of energy companies? that is what we are waiting to hear details of. the big message from the government from the prime minister, who hasjust landed in new york for a whole load of big diplomatic meetings, is that this is under control. we've got to try and fix it as fast as we can, make sure that we have the supplies that we want, make sure

that we don't allow the companies we rely on to go under — we have to do everything we can. but this will get better as the market starts to sort itself out, as the world economy gets back on its feet _ there are all sorts of ways in which the suppression of the world economy — caused by covid — is now expressing itself as problems of recovery. and what we did hear from the minister atjames and what we did hear from the minister at james cleverly that you are talking to earlier on is a bit more about the government's of philosophy around this. they are not that bothered about small energy companies who have may taken a bit of a gamble going bust. they are bothered about consumers having to pay higher bills that they don't expect as a result. a lot of focus in the coming days will be making sure people don't see their bills arejumping from one sure people don't see their bills are jumping from one level to a sure people don't see their bills arejumping from one level to a much higher level overnight. lots

are jumping from one level to a much higher level overnight.— higher level overnight. lots to think about, _ higher level overnight. lots to think about, adam, _ higher level overnight. lots to think about, adam, as - higher level overnight. lots to think about, adam, as ever. i higher level overnight. lots to - think about, adam, as ever. thank you very much. france has cancelled a meeting between its armed forces minister and the uk's defence secretary, ben wallace, which was due to be held this week. it's after a new security deal between britain, the us and australia led to france losing out on a major contract in the process. the prime minister insists relations with paris are "very friendly". 12—to—15—year—olds in england and scotland will start receiving covid vaccines from today. in wales, invitations will be sent out this week, while the programme is expected to start shortly in northern ireland. some scottish health boards will start administering pfizer jabs at walk in clinics from today, while appointments can be pre—booked for later this month. while the risk to you of being severely ill may well be low, we want to make sure every single 12—15—year—old is protected, and not only protected for themselves, but also as they go into school, it helps to protect, hopefully, their teachers and others they interact with at school, too. folic acid is to be added to flour across the uk, to reduce the risk of life—threatening spinal conditions in babies. the government said the move

and crisis talks have been taking place between energy companies and government ministers over escalating gas prices. there's concerns that some smaller firms could go bust — and food supplies could also be affected. nina is looking at this for us this morning. gosh, it is complicated. it is that this is all about _ gosh, it is complicated. it is that this is all about supply _ gosh, it is complicated. it is that this is all about supply and i gosh, it is complicated. it is that i this is all about supply and demand. at the _ this is all about supply and demand. at the moment we are coming out of the pandemic, demand is going up. at the pandemic, demand is going up. at the same time, supply of gas is going down, lots that things at play here. wind turbines are not receiving enough wind, but the point is that the gas is coming through in some areas is causing some problems. that has put a lot of pressure on our energy providers and some have gone bump. you will have energy, people's energy, energy plus. many are expected to follow. good news if you are a consumer and have a contract with one of those businesses, you are protected. the most important thing is, first of all, customers don't need to worry about their energy supply, and if anything does

happen to the company that supplies them there are well—oiled processes to make sure that, you know, not only will their energy supply continue but things like credit balances will be protected. so that is the good news, that you are protected. the bad news is, that has become a lot less fun. go compare has had to get load deliberately have lows of deals because the supplies cannot afford to tempt you stand. if you are in a fixed rate tariff that will be protected, on it until your deal is out of contract. as for the 15 million households on variable rates, that could go up to 12% come october, taking the average gas and electric price up by from £140 a year to £1300. that could go up again in the spring. no matter what rate you are on in the coming months you can expect an increase. that

rate you are on in the coming months you can expect an increase.— you can expect an increase. that is household. — you can expect an increase. that is household, what _ you can expect an increase. that is household, what about _ you can expect an increase. that is| household, what about businesses? you can expect an increase. that is i household, what about businesses? it is something i learned over the weekend, you may not necessarily note that carbon dioxide is needed by lots of food suppliers. carbonated drinks, also to stun animals before they are slaughtered. it is provided by some companies that make their sizes. because they have not been able to afford the gas they have not been able to provide that by—product and there has been over the weekend people saying things like bernard matthews, christmas can be cancelled if things don't change. for poultry suppliers they are already under a lot of pressure. they are already under a lot of pressure-— they are already under a lot of ressure. ~ ., , . ,., pressure. we would expect some difficulties with _ pressure. we would expect some difficulties with food _ pressure. we would expect some difficulties with food production i pressure. we would expect some | difficulties with food production in the coming weeks. i think we, like others, are looking towards christmas and the difficulties we will face over the next months in the build—up to the end of the year. think about the timing. it couldn't be worse. we are already talking

about a shortage of hgv drivers, pressure on the labour market, and at a time when families are looking ahead to paying what national insurance, lots of families facing the reduction in the pocket at £20 a week when the uptick in universal credit ends. fundamentally businesses need our disposable income in orderfor them to recover. we are looking at a bit of a vicious circle when it comes to the economy. the good news is people think we will get over this hump by the spring, that it is temporary. but for many families, suppliers, businesses, a long and tough winter ahead. ., ~' ,, , . as we've just been hearing, the surge in the cost of gas could have a knock—on effect on food supplies. let's speak more about this with kate morgan and vicky scott, who are pig farmers in yorkshire. good morning to both of you, lovely to speak to you. i don't know if you could hear what we were talking about but we have all been learning over the weekend about how the gas shortage is affecting ulcers of different businesses. give us an idea of how it is giving or having

are some i spent time with at manchester metropolitan university. i'm looking forward to meeting new people, to actually studying. but just trying to get that university experience we kind of missed out on. over the next few weeks, manchester will welcome more than 70,000 uni students to the city. how about a free t—shirt? we've got a bucket hat from fancy. it'sjust fun, you know, just getting a vibe back from the two—year break we've had in lockdown. and, you know, just coming back, everybody together and stuff, getting that uni feeling. meet the freshers elly, keira and lola. i left everything last—minute, so i was literally packing to, like, midnight. woke up, carried on packing and then got everything in the car, had a little cry when i said goodbye to my mum. it's the start of a new chapter. because of the pandemic, many students have started uni without visiting the place that will become their home. did a few virtual tours, but that was it, really. i didn't know what it was going to be like at all. i was saying to my mum, "what if i get up there and i hate it?"

it could be completely, like, out of my depth. but, no, i'm loving it so far. i went to uni last year— and i studied a different course, it was quite similar. but, obviously, being. a creative course online, it was just so difficult. like, we weren't getting to use the facilities, - we weren't getting the one—to—one we should have got. _ like, already, i was saying i've had a better week... _ not even a week — the last two days. i've already met so many people. i feel, like, so much more . passionate about my course. i'm enjoying it so much more. so, yeah, ithink i made the best decision i could have. _ at many universities across england, lectures on campus are back and face coverings are no longer mandatory, but students are advised to do covid tests regularly. the idea of future restrictions is still a concern. i hope it doesn't happen again. they did say, yesterday, in the lecture... they said they've got a plan if it does happen. if we get put into lockdown. no, none of that! because i am from quite a small town, i knew that even - i being in lockdown here would be| somewhat better than down there, so i was like, as a whole, may as well go for it. -

covid has had a huge impact on many aspects of student life. we were stuck in a tiny, tiny little house with so many people when it started. that wasn't fun. got into a lot of arguments. with fees of £9,000 a year and living costs, these third—year students feel out of pocket. i think we should have some compensation for... either teaching orfor the accommodation, because a lot of the rooms didn't get lived in, so people going back to their families, if they're shielding, orwhatever. a lot of uni—based accommodation i have tried to give a bit of moneyi back, but a lot of private things — l obviously, what we were in lasti year — haven't done anything. and when we weren't living in that house for something like six - months or so of the year, but we were still paying l rent every month. cherie is a second—year sociology student. she first went to university at 18, but had to drop out. in the middle of the year, i sadly lost my mum. it was a really difficult time and that made me become a young carerfor my brothers. at the age of 23, cherie

decided to go back. but the pandemic meant she wasn't able to experience university life. she is now part of a support group to help students who are struggling. last year was quite difficult, to be honest, in terms especially for mental health. like, it was quite isolating. ifeel like, as people, we like to have connections and stuff. having that aspect taken away last year, we could definitely see how some people actually struggled. there are amazing charities out there who are willing to help lots of different people. if someone was to tell me that five or six years ago, cherie, you are going to be smiling, you are going to go back to uni and be having the time of your life, i would have thought they would be lying, because when you are in that moment in time, you don't think positively at all, because you are just taking in everything. but i always tell people to take it easy, take their time with it, and just to be kinder to themselves. freshers' week marks the start of university life — a chance to enjoy new friendships and freedom. with the disruption of the past 18 months, it will also feel like a fresh start for many

returning back to university. stu d e nts students are hoping for some normality but we are still in a pandemic. here at bolton they have a vaccination bus on site, how are you feeling going forward? goad vaccination bus on site, how are you feeling going forward?— feeling going forward? good to be back with peers _ feeling going forward? good to be back with peers and _ feeling going forward? good to be back with peers and to _ feeling going forward? good to be back with peers and to be - feeling going forward? good to be j back with peers and to be learning face—to—face, a blended approach but it is good _ face—to—face, a blended approach but it is good. do face-to-face, a blended approach but it is aood. ., , face-to-face, a blended approach but itis aood. ., ,~ it is good. do you worry about the fact we are _ it is good. do you worry about the fact we are still _ it is good. do you worry about the fact we are still in _ it is good. do you worry about the fact we are still in a _ it is good. do you worry about the fact we are still in a pandemic- it is good. do you worry about the j fact we are still in a pandemic and we saw what happened last year? definitely, especially because we are on— definitely, especially because we are on such — definitely, especially because we are on such a _ definitely, especially because we are on such a creative _ definitely, especially because we are on such a creative course, i definitely, especially because we are on such a creative course, it| are on such a creative course, it has been — are on such a creative course, it has been really— are on such a creative course, it has been really difficult - are on such a creative course, it has been really difficult so - are on such a creative course, it has been really difficult so to i are on such a creative course, itj has been really difficult so to go back to — has been really difficult so to go back to third _ has been really difficult so to go back to third year— has been really difficult so to go back to third year and _ has been really difficult so to go back to third year and be - has been really difficult so to go back to third year and be able . has been really difficult so to go| back to third year and be able to has been really difficult so to go . back to third year and be able to be in the _ back to third year and be able to be in the workshop _ back to third year and be able to be in the workshop and _ back to third year and be able to be in the workshop and stuff _ back to third year and be able to be in the workshop and stuff i - back to third year and be able to be in the workshop and stuff i think. in the workshop and stuff i think will be _ in the workshop and stuff i think will be hopefully— in the workshop and stuff i think will be hopefully really- in the workshop and stuff i think will be hopefully really good. inl will be hopefully really good. in terms will be hopefully really good. terms of the restrictions, do will be hopefully really good.“ terms of the restrictions, do you think it is necessary to still have some on—site? i think it is necessary to still have some on-site?_ think it is necessary to still have some on-site? i think it is better safe than to _ some on-site? i think it is better safe than to be _ some on-site? i think it is better safe than to be sorry, _ some on-site? i think it is better safe than to be sorry, so - some on-site? i think it is better safe than to be sorry, so to - some on-site? i think it is better safe than to be sorry, so to have| safe than to be sorry, so to have some _ safe than to be sorry, so to have some good, _ safe than to be sorry, so to have some good, but what is necessary, it is going _ some good, but what is necessary, it is going to _ some good, but what is necessary, it is going to stop you are alljust glad _ is going to stop you are alljust glad to— is going to stop you are alljust

the first trains began to run between nine elms and battersea power station around 5.30 this morning. here's transport correspondent tom edwards. welcome to nine elms tube station, on the new northern line extension, which hasjust opened. it is the first extension to a tube line in the capital we have had for 20 years. it cost £1 billion and eventually it's going to be paid for by developers who have to contribute when they are building in this area in battersea, but this is a big deal for this area. lots of new homes, lots ofjobs. the new northern line extension is now open. the new foreign secretary, liz truss, is to meet the iranian foreign minister to call for the immediate release of uk nationals, including nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. nazanin, from west london, has been detained in iran since 2016, convicted of propaganda against the iranian regime. her husband richard ratcliffe

said he's urged liz truss to make her case a top priority. an investigation is being carried out after a double decker bus hit the front of a house in crouch end on saturday night. the 191, which wasn't carrying any passengers, had collided with a car first. police said there were no reports of any injuries. i know it's autumn, but the chelsea flower show gets under way today. it was postponed from may due to the pandemic. the early summer blooms you'd usually see will be replaced by dahlias, pumpkins and autumn colours. we talked about the northern line, let's see how the rest of the tube is running. the circle line has minor delays clockwise, and there's no piccadilly line between wood green and cockfosters due to a faulty train. severe delays on the rest of the line, too. time for the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was a rather wet day for many of us yesterday across the capital with some lively showers around. today is looking drier, but there are still some more showers to come in the forecast at times.

this morning, another mild start to the day. we have temperatures in double figures. it's quite grey and gloomy out there for most of us. the cloud is thickest towards eastern areas of the capital. here, maybe the chance of a bit of drizzle, some light showers around through the morning. further west, we should see things brighten up slowly and a lot of that cloud will tend to break up, too. when we do get any spells of brightness and sunshine across the capital through the afternoon, do watch out because there may be one or two sharp showers developing, as well. top temperatures in the best of any brightness and sunshine will get as high as perhaps 19—20 celsius. through this evening and overnight, the winds stay light. there will be some more mist developing. temperatures in some of the rural spots, where we see the clearest of the skies, could possibly drop back into single figures, so a chillier start to the day tomorrow, which is looking dry and fine. with still light winds, then we will see temperatures peak in the low 20s in celsius once more — 21 degrees for most of us. into wednesday and, again, it is dry and fine, but the winds will pick up through the afternoon. feeling more autumnal as we head through the rest

of the working week. i'll be back in around half an hour. now back to dan and sally. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. we are here until 9:15am. and then... morning live follows us on bbc one this morning. let's find out what's in store from jeanette and gethin. dancing dan coming up. as we've been hearing on breakfast, john challis and jimmy greaves sadly passed away yesterday — there's been so many lovely tributes. but, even if you're not a fan of the beautiful game, i guarantee you'll support one club from liverpool. john bishop is a fan.

sometimes. unheard—of these days. an astonishing figure. he was really very good company. and the way he created boycie and turned it into something special and an integral part of probably the most popular sitcom of all time says a lot for his acting ability and ability to turn something into a special part. so well known and so well loved as of coursejimmy so well known and so well loved as of course jimmy greaves so well known and so well loved as of coursejimmy greaves is, someone you knew. somebody my dad loved, i loved, who appealed to so many across the generations and beautiful tributes to jimmy greaves as well. it has been a desperately sad weekend. jimmy was a very good friend. we worked closely together from the late 70s when he started becoming a pundit. i worked with him on itv sport and he became a regular

on itv sport and he became a regular on tv am and also in the world cup and other things we did on itv sport. my panel for the world cup semifinal in 1990 was gordon banks, geoff hurst and jimmy greaves. imagine sitting alongside that lot when you are a football fan as i am. i used to watchjimmy as a player, coming from not far from london, outside luton. if they were away my father would take me to spurs, west ham, chelsea and arsenal. to see him at spurs, the way the crowd went when he touched the ball. a wonderful player to watch. and i worked with him closely and he was a captain on a game show i did with him. we used to get 14 million for that, a fantastic experience. so many other things. some very happy memories. a regular pundit on various football programmes i did and a regular contributor to our

good morning programme. he had a terrible few years after a serious stroke. we knew his end was not far away, as withjohn. for them both to go within hours on sunday morning, a very sad weekend for me and many people because they were both such incredibly popular figures. thank ou so incredibly popular figures. thank you so much _ this is bbc news with the latest headlines. crisis talks on soaring gas prices — the government considers propping up struggling energy firms. we've got to try and fix it as fast as we can, make sure we have the supplies that we want, make sure that we don't allow the companies we rely on to go under. we'll have to do everything we can. but this will get better as the market starts to sort itself out as the world economy gets back on its feet. are you worried about your energy company going bust, the price of your bills, or your gas supply?
