' contributor to 'contributor to our 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?

i'd love to hearfrom you this morning — you can tweet me @annita—mcveigh, using #bbcyourquestions. a murder investigation is launched launched after four people are found dead at a house in derbyshire. millions of older and vulnerable people will be contacted to arrange their coronavirus booster shots from today. older care home residents will be the first to be offered the booster. folic acid will be added to non—wholemeal wheat flour across the uk, to prevent life—threatening spinal conditions in babies. it's hoped the move will prevent up to 200 birth defects a year. domination at the emmy awards for the crown — it bags best drama. olivia coleman is named best actess for her portrayal of the queen on a big night of british success. for the first time in chelsea flower show�*s 108 year history it is being held in september, not me, and today is the day when the world media, celebrities and even royalty, and

see these spectacular gardens. the government is considering offering emergency state—backed loans to energy companies, many of which are on the brink of collapse because of soaring gas prices. this morning we've heard that the uk's sixth largest energy company, bulb, is seeking new funds as it battles stay afloat amid surging energy prices. the company has 1.7 million customers. wholesale gas prices have risen by 250% since january, after a cold winter put pressure on europe's supplies and reduced levels of stored gas. there has also been increased competition for liquefied natural gas, particularly from countries in asia which also experienced cold weather.

some, particularly the smaller firms, are now in trouble, because the high cost of gas means they can't afford to sell it to customers at the prices they promised them. ministers are due to hold more talks today with industry leaders to try to solve the crisis. speaking as he arrived in new york ahead of the the un general assembly, the prime minister said it was a temporary global problem that would be resolved as economies got back up and running after the pandemic. this is really a function of the world economy waking up after covid. so gas in particular is very much in demand in asia, in china, malaysia, other parts of asia, lng in particular. 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. right now though, it's having major knock—on effects in other parts of the economy including food production. 0ur correspondent 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 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. 0ur political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. talk us through what the government will be trying to do today, to try to solve this crisis. the government's - to solve this crisis. the | government's preferred to solve this crisis. lie: government's preferred outcome to solve this crisis. “115 government's preferred outcome is that the market takes care of it and if a supplier is in distress then it either gets brought up by someone else and they solve the problem or the next stage as if that energy company goes bust, the companies are given to another supplier that is

more stable and they take them over but the problem with that is it is not an appealing prospect for bigger energy companies because taking on those new customers is quite expensive because of the cost of gas at the moment, and then you have the energy price cap, a limit to how much they can charge customers, so there is some pressure. and then 0fgem could appoint special administrators to take over struggling firms, but that is only designed to happen once in a blue moon so that is under pressure as well, so they have to come up with a plan c with the industry for companies finding themselves in trouble. so they have to ensure the integrity of the system as a whole, secondly they have to address the chance of people who transfer suppliers being hit by much higher bills as a result of the transfer, and that is something that the energy secretary kwasi kwarteng is

said to be concerned about. so those are the challenges the government is going to try to address with lots of the energy companies they are meeting with at 11 o'clock today. you could say that is dealing with the symptoms, not the cause. important symptoms but not the root cause of the issue. the prime minister said this crisis is a function of the world economy waking up function of the world economy waking up and he used the analogy of everyone going to make a cup of tea at the same time at the end of a tv programme. is that analysis really correct? , ., , ., programme. is that analysis really correct? , ., , correct? some people would say it is because there _ correct? some people would say it is because there are _ correct? some people would say it is because there are quite _ correct? some people would say it is because there are quite a _ correct? some people would say it is because there are quite a lot - correct? some people would say it is because there are quite a lot of - because there are quite a lot of different causes happening all at the same time to add up to this problem. you have increased demand from the economy coming roaring back much faster than expected from covid, then you have tensions between russia and the eu which contributes a little bit, and the fact there was a fire which disrupted an interconnector from the continent to the uk, and lots of

planned maintenance to all sorts of energy production facilities postponed from last year because of the pandemic and has taken place this year. you could put all of those in one basket. some people would say we have an energy industry where you can have companies that can take quite big gambles on the future cost of energy and that is fine in the good times but it means they are incredibly vulnerable when it is more volatile and then who has to come and pick up the pieces? it looks like it might be the taxpayer. and then other people say it shows you the energy business is too cut—throat and maybe you need intervention to smooth out all of things. we have an intriguing government combination of letting the market forces play out but as you had from the prime minister they are prepared to step in and potentially a big way to protect consumers if the market fails. it will be an interesting test case of

what is the true character of this government. but let's be honest, the thing any government fears the most is looking like it is not in control of events and nothing suggests control as much as your energy supply so of course the government is going to be really hot on this. we would like to hear from you. are you worried about the rising price in energy bills, your gas supply, have you heard from your energy company, are you worried about them going bust? get in touch with me on twitter and use their hashtag bbc your questions and i will try to read as many as possible. there's been a shooting at a university in western russia and several people are reported to have been killed.

the incident happened at perm state university where a young man reportedly opened fire inside the university building. it's reported he was a student there. france has cancelled a meeting between its armed forces minister and the uk's defence secretary, ben wallace, amid the diplomatic row prompted by the new security alliance agreed by britain, the us and australia. paris has been angered by australia's withdrawal from a contract to buy submarines. the foreign office minister, james cleverly, says he's confident that relations with france will improve. all bilateral relationships go through periods of tension. that is the inevitability of relationships, just as it is on a personal level. i have absolutely no doubt that ultimately our relationship with france will endure, but this is about making sure that we have a really strong defence relationship with two very, very important defence partners. the new foreign secretary, liz truss, is to urge her iranian counterpart to release british

nationals being held in the country, when they meet in new york later. about a dozen western dual nationals are detained in iran, including nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. caroline hawley�*s report contains some distressing images. elika ashoori makes macaroons and cakes for a living, treats for other people's celebrations, but her own wedding is on hold, her whole life consumed by her father's arrest. i have to always throw myself into my work to not think about it too much because it drives me crazy. he was never political. he was a mechanical engineer with a love of astronomy. throughout his entire life he has put me and my brother first. but in august in 2017, while visiting his elderly mother in tehran, anoosheh ashoori was thrown into iran's notorious evin jail, one of a dozen westerners being held in iran, including nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe.

their families describe them as hostages being used by iranian authorities for political and financial leverage with the west. evin is notorious for being horrific. each room is shared by 15—20 people. they have rats and cockroaches all the time. he was interrogated very, very heavily. they threatened to hurt us throughout the interrogations. they told my dad that they knew where we lived, where we worked, what pets we had. my dad was saying, "i have nothing to confess to you." twice he tried to take his own life because he thought that if he was out of the equation, then they would not be able to hurt us. last month, cctv footage from inside evin was hacked into and leaked. former inmates say it shows the outside world just a small glimpse of what the jail is like. elika fears her father will not get out until the iran and uk

strike a bargain for his release. i mean, he is 67 now and he has been there forfour years, for having done nothing. who will be answerable to that? elika's father always supported everything she did. the nature of my business is constantly to talk to people about weddings, birthdays and to be excited for them. and that is why it was very difficult at first for me to do myjob. i didn't want to make things for happy people, as horrible as it sounds. now i use my business and i use my cakes to focus on people's happiness because it is kind of like a beam of hope. in her head she keeps painting the ultimate cake, the one she will make to eventually welcome him home. caroline hawley, bbc news.

a murder investigation has been launched after four people were found dead at a house in derbyshire. police were called to a property in killamarsh near sheffield yesterday after concerns were raised about the people living there. a man has been arrested and police say they're not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. specially—trained officers from derbyshire police are liaising with the families of the deceased. some 12 to 15—year—olds in parts of england and scotland are expected to begin receiving covid vaccines today. teenage vaccinations are also due to start shortly in northern ireland and early next month in wales. millions of older and vulnerable people will also be contacted to arrange their booster shots. more from our health correspondent, katharine da costa. 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 protected themselves, but also, as they go to school, it helps to protect hopefully their teachers and others that they interact with at school too. 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 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. i'm joined now by dr chris smith, a virologist

at the university of cambridge. and also from the naked scientist podcast. how important is it for people to have a booster even if they have had both shots? your level of protection — they have had both shots? your level of protection is _ they have had both shots? your level of protection is proportional- they have had both shots? your level of protection is proportional to - they have had both shots? your level of protection is proportional to the i of protection is proportional to the level of antibody in your bloodstream, the higher the level of antibody, the lower the likelihood you will catch the infection or become severely unwell. some people over time lose a level of antibody in the bloodstream, a natural part of how the immune system works, so the purpose of the booster is to push levels up again. the reason for the timing is we are going into winter, we know all viruses and all infections of all persuasions spread more efficiently in winter because the days are shorter, it is colder, there are is more time indoors with there are is more time indoors with the windows and doors closed so we are anticipating more opportunities

for more cases to happen so if we minimise the risk to people either becoming severely unwell being able to catch the infection, which the vaccines do at least two thirds of the time, prevent infection, this is a good way to keep the lid on this in a challenging time of year for the nhs. 50 in a challenging time of year for the nhs. , .,, ., i: , ., the nhs. 50 people over 50, starting with the most — the nhs. 50 people over 50, starting with the most vulnerable _ the nhs. 50 people over 50, starting with the most vulnerable in - the nhs. 50 people over 50, starting with the most vulnerable in that - the nhs. 50 people over 50, starting with the most vulnerable in that age | with the most vulnerable in that age group, it is a pretty wide age group, it is a pretty wide age group, what about other people who are not 50? over the last year and so i have had frequent contact from people with asthma for example asking why aren't they getting their vaccines prioritised? they must be thinking if they are below the age of 50, why are they not getting a booster yet? the of 50, why are they not getting a booster yet?— booster yet? the list includes eo - le booster yet? the list includes people who — booster yet? the list includes people who are _ booster yet? the list includes people who are in _ booster yet? the list includes| people who are in institutional booster yet? the list includes - people who are in institutional care homes at the top of the list, we would regard those people is the

frail elderly, and then anyone over the age of 50 which heavily overlaps with that but it reflects the fact that as we get older our immune response is less agile, and then also on the list as anyone who is extremely clinically vulnerable or people who live with people who are clinically vulnerable. asthma is a really broad term. some people have what we call brittle asthma, is a serious thing that can land them in hospital with life—threatening asthma attacks. then there is cold weather or exercise induced asthma where people can feel a bit wheezy, so it doesn't mean the same thing for everyone and it comes down to a house's underlying health problems are and that is what the decision will be made on as to people at risk of being higher priority. there will be made on as to people at risk of being higher priority.—

who those people are. but it is early days so the thing is to identify who needs them and minimise the spread in the population as best we can and then we will find out what is and isn't necessary as we go into next year. find what is and isn't necessary as we go into next year-— into next year. and a final question about the roll-out _ into next year. and a final question about the roll-out of— into next year. and a final question about the roll-out of vaccinations l about the roll—out of vaccinations for 12—15 —year—olds. some children are getting those today in a limited way in england and scotland, although we are not properly into the roll—out yet. what are your thoughts? lots of arguments either way about whether it is right to vaccinate 12—15 —year—olds. i would love to get your thoughts and how important you think it will be helping to minimise disruption in schools f, as we know, people who are vaccinated can still get and transmit this virus. the vaccines work stupendously _ transmit this virus. the vaccines work stupendously well - transmit this virus. the vaccines work stupendously well against |

education. if we offer vaccines we can prevent some cases of severe infection, cases of long covid, prevent cases. and that way we can... the risks are minimalfrom these vaccines, there are much higher risks in day—to—day activities we do. i think this gives us control of the virus going into winter and it will help to maintain schooling and reduce disruption into young people's lives. with me now is the journalist maggie ritchie, who is the mother of a 15—year—old in glasgow. she has concerns over her son having the vaccine but he wants to get it. and tracy conn and 14—year—old bailey. they've decided to get

about gas prices. the uk has some of the lowest storage capacity in europe and government action is a key factor, says mark. maria says i am with bulb and i am worried they have asked for a bailout. mike says his supplier has contacted them to say they have gone bust. 0fgem are moving them to another supplier, it happened with another supplier a few years ago and they were moved to another supplier and they had no control who they were moved to or of the tariff. and david jones, similar to mike, he says his supplier texted him to say they will no longer

supply his electricity. get in touch. are you worried about your prices going up, your gas supply, has your supplier already been in touch to say they are going out of business? do that on twitter. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello, there. the quiet conditions this morning have meant the fog has taken a while to clear but, despite some pleasantly warm sunshine for the start of the week, the wind will strengthen in the north later in the week. feeling fresher here with some more significant rain. the rain today in the form of showers on this weather front, and also some patchy rain coming in and across the north and west of scotland and northern ireland on this weather front. now, some of these showers could be on the heavy side once again for the eastern side of england but there will be some bright spells in between, and elsewhere there will be some warm sunshine —18—21, as we saw at the weekend.

a through the night—time period, that weather front slowly eases away as the ridge of high pressure builds more strongly across the uk. so, for the day on tuesday, after the morning fog clears away, and there could be some dense patches around in southern and eastern areas, there will be plenty of sunshine to follow. but again, just late in the day this time, some patchy rain towards the north and west. hello, this is bbc news. the 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.

a murder investigation is launched launched after four people are found dead at a house in derbyshire. millions of older and vulnerable people will be contacted to arrange their coronavirus booster shots from today — older care home residents will be the first to be offered the booster. good morning. he was a prodigy, then a pioneer and eventually a pundit. tributes are 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 goalscorer in the english top flight. his former sides tottenham, chelsea and west ham all paid their respects. greaves also scored ltlt goals in 57 games for his country. former spurs captain steve perryman

told the bbc aboutjust one of the things that made greaves so special. i , everyone has highs and lows and give it have to say that was his low comedy stopped him taking part in the 1966 final. it is comedy stopped him taking part in the 1966 final.— the 1966 final. it is about how you recover and _ the 1966 final. it is about how you recover and he _ the 1966 final. it is about how you recover and he was _ the 1966 final. it is about how you recover and he was the _ the 1966 final. it is about how you recover and he was the most i recover and he was the most resilient person i have ever met. he could come back from adversity like no one else and thatjust shows you it is notjust about no one else and thatjust shows you it is not just about success, no one else and thatjust shows you it is notjust about success, it is about how you deal with some failures as well. well, it was very apt that two ofjimmy greaves's 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—nil 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 this united all three points. we got a penalty kick and i've got one of the best penalty takers in the premier league and also in europe. so i think if i hadn't made the decision to do it i would have been annoyed with myself. but it happens in management,

you have to make decisions on this one didn't go right today. 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. 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. england's women beat new zealand

they tried to balance themselves. it is complicated to describe but we are 90% hedged for the year ahead which means we are protected from wholesale prices and we have to finalise their balance between customer demand and generation and those prices have gone up as well but that is a survivable event. we are in a good place. the problem is small energy companies that have taken a fairly small energy companies that have ta ken a fairly reckless small energy companies that have taken a fairly reckless gamble that has paid off the last few years as energy prices continued to drop and abbott is coming back to bite them. is this about companies who have not taken out this insurance to head for the situation or is it a testament to this policy of competition, driving prices down not working in the energy market? i driving prices down not working in the energy market?— driving prices down not working in the energy market? i think you are riuht. the energy market? i think you are riht. it the energy market? i think you are riuht. it is the energy market? i think you are right. it is built. _ the energy market? i think you are right. it is built. there _ the energy market? i think you are right. it is built. there is _ the energy market? i think you are right. it is built. there is a - right. it is built. there is a fundamental problem in the energy market. the regulator has allowed something like 17 new entrants into

the game in the last few years. they have all entered with very little behind them, fairly reckless business models, selling energy cheaper than they can buy it for you to grow our customer base. often imposed a price cap which prevented them putting prices up and they have not been hedging and the market has shot up and they are in between a rock and a hard place but there are fundamental problems in the energy market. , fundamental problems in the energy market. boris johnson said the roblem market. boris johnson said the problem is _ market. boris johnson said the problem is there _ market. boris johnson said the problem is there a _ market. boris johnson said the problem is there a function - market. boris johnson said the problem is there a function of| market. boris johnson said the i problem is there a function of the world economy waking up after covid. based on your knowledge of the markets, which compare the situation that the uk finds itself in versus other countries around the world? especially our neighbours in the eu. yes, we are in a worse situation and the eu for sure. the pandemic is a factor but fundamentally this is driven by a shortage of electricity in our country. our nuclear fleet is out of operation. we have just had

the lowest wind some and one of our interconnector to europe has just caught fire so we cannot bring electricity and as we yesterday from france. that has cost us a return to gas to make power but at the same time there has been huge demand for gas in asia. pandemic. russia has reduced supplies to get up for political reasons that we have very low levels of storage even in good times. only i% of europe's storage in good times. lots of structural problems driving this and the pandemic isjust problems driving this and the pandemic is just something that has come along and added to the next. one thing many people are asking, seeing as it related to brexit. the uk is outside the eu's energy markets. is that a factor as far as you are concerned? i markets. is that a factor as far as you are concerned?— markets. is that a factor as far as you are concerned? i don't believe that it is. you are concerned? i don't believe that it is- we _ you are concerned? i don't believe that it is. we are _ you are concerned? i don't believe that it is. we are always _ you are concerned? i don't believe that it is. we are always on - you are concerned? i don't believe that it is. we are always on the - you are concerned? i don't believe | that it is. we are always on the end of the pipeline for gas that comes from russia and that has always affected our energy market. we had

at the mercy of global markets in oil and gas and we have to change that and we have enough wind and sun to power our entire country 100% and we can make gas from gas and that is what we have to do because that is the fundamental problem in our energy market. ibis the fundamental problem in our energy market-— the fundamental problem in our energy market. the fundamental problem in our ener: market. a ., ., ., energy market. as we look ahead to cop26 in energy market. as we look ahead to com in glasgow _ energy market. as we look ahead to cop26 in glasgow in _ energy market. as we look ahead to cop26 in glasgow in november - energy market. as we look ahead to cop26 in glasgow in november and | energy market. as we look ahead to i cop26 in glasgow in november and the drive to get economy's right around the world relying less on carbon as a source of energy, what sort of practices cases going to have on that? i know use an example and a vocal backer of of anti—fracking groups. is it the case that the renewable sector isn't yet ready to supply the demands that people in this country are placing on their energy supplies? i this country are placing on their energy suoplies?_ this country are placing on their ener: su lies? ~ , .,, energy supplies? i think the problem is the government _ energy supplies? i think the problem is the government has _ energy supplies? i think the problem is the government has still— energy supplies? i think the problem is the government has still got - energy supplies? i think the problem is the government has still got a - is the government has still got a footin is the government has still got a foot in both camps and we spent more money subsidising fossil fuels and we do supporting renewable energy so we do supporting renewable energy so we have 40% green energy on the grid right now which is good that we

could do so much better. we still put money into the north sea that has more than be put into windmills. when it comes to gas we can make it from grass and we are doing nothing about that at all. the answers lie in our hands and we can see renewables are not yet ready but thatis renewables are not yet ready but that is because we have not made them ready. they are technologically and economically ready to go. it is and economically ready to go. it is really interesting to talk to you, the owner of ecotricity. thank you for your time. 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 birth defects every year. kate steele is the chief executive of the charity shine, which campaigns for families affected by spina bifida. shejoins me now from little haven. thank you so much for talking to us today. a lot of women already take folic acid supplements once they know they are pregnant, but i guess for a variety of reasons some pregnant women are not. absolutely.

there are lots — pregnant women are not. absolutely. there are lots of _ pregnant women are not. absolutely. there are lots of unplanned _ there are lots of unplanned pregnancies across the uk but also the message that we really need to be getting across is that folic acid supplements need to be taken at least eight weeks prior to pregnancy, not once a woman is pregnant, so it is a really important decision that the government has taken today to get folic acid into flour to build up those levels that women need. what those levels that women need. what if someone doesn't _ those levels that women need. what if someone doesn't eat _ those levels that women need. what if someone doesn't eat products containing flour? what do you say then? because obviously a lot of people will be eating bread, most people will be eating bread, most people have that in their diet, so this is a way of getting folic acid posted, but what if someone doesn't eat products containing flour? ltrefoil. eat products containing flour? well, i am sure eat products containing flour? well, i am sure that _ eat products containing flour? well, i am sure that somewhere _ eat products containing flour? all i am sure that somewhere along the line somebody will be eating products containing flour because it is notjust in bread, but equally

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 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. daniella relph, bbc news, chelsea.

now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. we start the week with a ridge of high pressure. it is all change for the wrath of the uk. this is the ridge of high pressure and this weather front ridge of high pressure and this weatherfront brought a ridge of high pressure and this weather front brought a couple of inches of rain in places on sunday and led to some local flooding. the chance we could see some sharp showers through the day ahead. further north and west a week where the front will bring patchy rain so the front will bring patchy rain so the sunshine diminishes here although it stays bright and east of scotland with plenty of good spells of sunshine elsewhere. still feeling warm. overnight quite chilly and once again through the night as the

showers feed on the south and the clyde tends to break up elsewhere it will turn a little chilly in towns and cities but in rural areas it will drop down to three or four celsius and there will be more mist and fog as we get towards tuesday morning because we have settled conditions under high pressure. quite dense fog around potentially on tuesday morning we think across southern and eastern areas but the odd spot elsewhere. the wind is starting to pick up towards the north and west but the clyde doesn't thicken until the afternoon and the rain doesn't arrive until on so for many tuesday looks like another warm day with plenty of that same per sunshine. it should stay that way on the south as we go into wednesday but this next weather system, quite an active weather front starts to push on across scotland and northern ireland through wednesday, the autumn equinox, is almost on cue gale force winds forecast. once it

clears away, some showers, but a notable dip in temperatures. there is this area of low pressure pushing past the north wednesday into thursday. some uncertainty as to how deep that low pressure could be but it could get some fairly windy weather. certainly one to watch this week. you will get more detail on the website.
