0fgem has confirmed british gas has agreed to take on an extra 350,000 customers from the collapsed firm people's energy. and the uk's sixth largest energy company, bulb, is seeking new funds to try to stay afloat. downing street says it wants to fix the issues as fast as it can. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. gas, the cornerstone of our energy supply and the cost of eight is rocketing. there has been a surge in global demand and not enough supply. energy firms here are battling global demand and not enough supply_ energy firms here are battling to stay afloat. in energy firms here are battling to stay afloat-— energy firms here are battling to sta afloat. . . ~ stay afloat. in the current market as it is we — stay afloat. in the current market as it is we are _ stay afloat. in the current market as it is we are not _ stay afloat. in the current market as it is we are not going - stay afloat. in the current market as it is we are not going to - stay afloat. in the current market as it is we are not going to see i stay afloat. in the current market as it is we are not going to see it| as it is we are not going to see it through the winter. if it gets worse, that time will get shortened. i think ourselves along with another —— other energy suppliers, need direct government intervention. fizre direct government intervention. five su - liers direct government intervention. five suppliers have collapsed since the start of last month. but dozens

could be out of business by the end of the year. the reason? wholesale gas prices have risen by more than 300% compared to last winter. when a supplier collapse is what normally happens is the regulator steps in to get somebody else to take on the customers. but prices have gone up so much the big suppliers are saying they can't afford to do this within they can't afford to do this within the government's price cap without racking up huge losses. the regulator — racking up huge losses. the regulator has _ racking up huge losses. the regulator has allowed something like 70 new_ regulator has allowed something like 70 new entrant into the game in the last few_ 70 new entrant into the game in the last few years. they have entered with very — last few years. they have entered with very little behind them. very reckless _ with very little behind them. very reckless business models, selling energy— reckless business models, selling energy cheaper than they can buy it for, energy cheaper than they can buy it for. to— energy cheaper than they can buy it for. to grow— energy cheaper than they can buy it for, to grow a customer base fast and then— for, to grow a customer base fast and then sell themselves or increase prices _ and then sell themselves or increase prices at _ and then sell themselves or increase prices. at the same time ofgem imposed — prices. at the same time ofgem imposed a — prices. at the same time ofgem imposed a price cap which prevented them _ imposed a price cap which prevented them putting prices up. now the market— them putting prices up. now the market has shot up. the them putting prices up. now the market has shot up.— market has shot up. the prime minister has _ market has shot up. the prime minister has arrived _ market has shot up. the prime minister has arrived in - market has shot up. the prime minister has arrived in new. market has shot up. the prime. minister has arrived in new york

it was expected by experts as thousands of tremors had hit the area in recent days. james reynolds reports. after a week of tremors, the cumbre vieja volcanic ridge erupted. no one has seen anything like this in the island of la palma for half a century. it has created its own apocalyptic landscape. rivers of lava channel their way down towards nearby villages. "look, look! it's falling," the man says. the flow of lava takes down a building. at least 20 isolated homes have now been swallowed up. "eight metres of lava," he says.

"this is the civil guard," says an officer through a loudspeaker. "please leave your homes." the residents of four villages have been ordered to get to safety. translation: the situation - is drastic because of where the lava is advancing, sweeping away everything in its path, especially houses. the authorities have a good view of the eruption and the rivers of lava. they expect the flows to continue to the coast. the rescue effort even takes in farm animals. police officers and local residents round up every goat and sheep they can find. it's not yet clear how long this eruption will last. the most recent major activity in 1971 went on for three weeks. james reynolds, bbc news.

a labour mp who has pulled out of her party's annual conference after receiving online abuse for her views on transgender issues, has requested a meeting with sir keir starmer. rosie duffield says she has received some "pretty awful" threats, and wanted clarity on the party's position on transgender issues. let's speak to our political correspondent ione wells. would clarifying the party's stance on this help ms duffield? well, victoria, ithink well, victoria, i think there are two issues at play here. labour is under some pressure to clarify what their stances on transgender issues. rosie duffield has come out with quite a controversial stance on transgender issues. this is something which involves people's identities, it involves people's right to self identify and to access certain spaces. that view, like any view on politics, something which has opened her to a lot of scrutiny as well, particularly with an issue

like this where there is very live debates going on at the moment about whether gender recognition laws need to be reformed. 0thers whether gender recognition laws need to be reformed. others in the labour party have different views. 0ne senior labour mp said they were frustrated with the oxygen this row was getting, saying they would rather labour focused on was getting, saying they would rather labourfocused on nhs waiting times for transgender people. so there is this pressure. this is what rosie duffield asked of keir starmer earlier in terms of clarifying the party position. lots of women have been asking to meet with starmer in groups or one—to—one about this issue, and obviously he is incredibly busy, but it would be good to just clarify what our position is as a party and just to discuss how we go forward with this issue. but just to make it clear, _ you have asked to see him command at the moment what is his response? he's always positive about trying to organise a meeting, itjust hasn't happened yet. but you would like i that to happen soon? yeah, i think it's really necessary that we actually talk about this subject.

interesting, she is calling for clarity on the party position, with differing views in labour about what that stance should be, but something i think politicians of all different stripes agree on is that nobody in public life should fear for their safety if critics turn what is perhaps legitimate criticism of somebody�*s position into abuse. we know online abuse and the threat of that escalating into real—life abuse is nothing new, particularly the way in which it disproportionately impacts women in public life, so why labour clarifying its position to mps about what their view is on transgender issues, separately to that, that is not necessarily something that may resolve internal party conflicts, but not necessarily something that will stop people like rosie duffield receiving the kind of abuse that she has been.— rosie duffield receiving the kind of abuse that she has been. thank you very much- —

the time is 1:15. our top story this lunchtime: and coming up — it's finally back, but how will the chelsea flower show look in the autumn? coming up in the sport in the next 15 minutes on the bbc news channel: decision time for the ecb ahead of their proposed tour of pakistan. after new zealand pulled out of theirs, will england send their teams next month? a leading football agent, who used to represent raheem sterling, has broken football association rules by signing under—age players, according to evidence seen by bbc panorama. aidy ward, who owns colossal sports management, also asked sterling to speak to a 15—year—old via video call, as part of an attempt by ward to sign him. the fa prohibits agents approaching players before they are in their 16th year. rory carson has this report. aidy ward is one of the most high—profile agents in football. we've spoken to a player who says

he was approached by ward when he was just 12 years old, in breach of fa rules. foday nabay was born in sierra leone and moved to england with his mum when he was six. hejoined birmingham city academy and was picked for the england youth team. soon after, aidy ward got in touch. what did he say? just like how many teams wanted me to go to them, and why i should like, why i should go. that's when my head, it started getting into my head a bit. aidy ward says he has never been foday �*s agent, but panorama has obtained evidence that appears to contradict his claim. e—mail correspondence shows ward was involved in negotiations to move foday, then 1a, to fulham, with agency fees if the transfer went through. the agency fees ended up

being way more than... like, my contract, i was happy with what i got, because i didn't move there for money, but when i got to look at it, i was like, that's not right. foday says when he found out about agency fees, he told fulham he would only sign if they weren't paid. fa rules ban agents profiting from the transfer of underage players. fulham fc say they hadn't paid or agreed to pay mr ward in relation to foday�*s registration with the club. foday completed the transfer in 2013 but was released five years later. he blames ward for a move he was never happy with. i was young, i didn't know much about football. my mum didn't know anything about football, so i thought that was just normal. we've also obtained evidence that ward approached other underage players. 0ne document describes a meeting at this london restaurant between ward,

a 15—year—old boy and his mother. aidy ward asked his famous client raheem sterling, a minority shareholder in colossal, to speak via video call to the boy, in a bid by ward to attract the young player to his agency. sterling's lawyers told panorama that, as an england international, he feels responsibility to speak to aspiring players, but not about agents or financial issues, and he supports fa rules to protect young players. raheem sterling dropped aidy ward as his agent late last year. ward is under investigation by the fa. he says he can't comment, out of respect for that process. rory carson, bbc news. and you can watch the panorama: football's broken dreams on bbc one at 8.30 tonight. thousands of students across the uk will be heading off to university over the next few weeks. the pandemic has caused 18

months of disruption, with students not experiencing face—to—face teaching, campus living and social events. here our education correspondent elaine dunkley. over the next few weeks, universities across greater manchester will welcome more than 100,000 students. 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. it'sjust fun, getting the vibe back from the two year break we've had in lockdown, and you know, just coming back, everybody together and stuff, getting that unique feeling. it's the start of a new chapter for these freshers at manchester metropolitan. because of the pandemic, some students have started uni without visiting the place that will become their home for the next few years. 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? i could be completely 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 wasjust so difficult. but already i was saying, i had about a week, not even a week. two days. the government is urging universities to provide face—to—face teaching this term, but some universities are keeping those in large groups online. at the university of bolton, all lectures are on campus. there is a vaccination boss, and students are advised to do covid tests twice a week. people want face—to—face more than anything else, so we are encouraging everybody to come on campus in a safe way, following the measures we've still got in place. of course, they can still stream. so, if somebody did have to isolate or have to be away from university, because there are clinically vulnerable people who don't want to attend, then they can stream it themselves if they want to. covid has had a huge impact on many aspects of student life. here in bolton, the university is offering financial support for international students. a lot of students who are on the red list countries, for all of them, the university's paying the quarantine charges, so i think that's a big relief for them when they come. 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. elaine dunkley, bbc news. france's defence minister has pulled out of talks with her british counterpart amid a row over a new security deal between the uk, us and australia. paris is angry after australia signed the pact to build nuclear—powered submarines with american technology, pulling out of a major contract with france in the process. borisjohnson says france had nothing to worry downing street says the deal was in no way intended to be exclusionary and has postponed the talks to a later date. at least six people have been killed in a shooting at a university in central russia. a man opened fire on campus at perm state university this morning. steve rosenberg is in moscow. it must have been absolutely terrifying — tell us

what you know so far, steve. just imagine, victoria, you are at couege just imagine, victoria, you are at college on a monday morning, and at 11am you notice a young man coming onto campus who has a gun. he stops shooting and then goes into the building and carries on shooting, and there is panic. so, some teachers and students barricaded themselves into classrooms in the building. 0thersjumped out of building. 0thers jumped out of a first—floor windows to try to get away. then a local traffic policeman, a junior lieutenant in the traffic police, became the hero of the day. he was a letter to what was going on at the university, came over with his partner and went into the building and confronted the gunman. he shot him. the gunman was wounded and taken to hospital. six people had been killed. what do we know about the gunman? we know he is a student, and he allegedly posted a chilling message on social media before the shooting spree, explaining his actions. according to

this message, he was consumed by hatred. he wanted to cause pain to people since he was at primary school, according to this message, and he wanted to destroy everyone in his path. steve rosenberg, thank you, reporting from moscow. it was a big night for british talent at the emmys last night. the crown dominated the awards, picking up seven prizes including outstanding drama series. 0livia colman and josh 0'connor won for their portrayals of the queen and prince charles. there were also wins for kate winslet, for mare of easttown, and michaela coel, for i may destroy you. sophie long reports from los angeles. # you got what i need. a celebration of television at a time it provided a lifeline. # you say he's just a friend. ahhhhh! british actress hannah waddingham took the first award of the evening for her role in ted lasso — beating her best friend and co—star, juno temple. i swear to god, if i could break off one of her arms and give it to you —
