the case for the us coming over to the case for the us coming over to the uk stub since the 2nd of august, if your double jabs in the us, you been able to come over to the uk and not have to quarantine, so it has been quite a while where we have measures in place for people to come one direction but we have not been able to go in the other one.- able to go in the other one. thank ou ve able to go in the other one. thank you very much. — able to go in the other one. thank you very much, caroline. - the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, has told the commons that the lights will not go out this winter after a huge spike in gas prices. the increase has left some energy companies unable to fulfil price promises to customers and teetering on the edge of collapse. mr kwarteng said he did expect some firms to go out of business, and said protecting consumers was his top priority. but he told mps the uk had the capacity to keep up with demand. britain benefits from having a diverse range of gas supply sources. we have sufficient capacity, and more than sufficient capacity, to meet demand and we do not expect supply emergencies to occur this winter.
5:05 pm
there is absolutely no question, mr speaker, of the lights going out or people being unable to heat their homes. there will be no three—day working weeks or a throwback to the 19705. such thinking, mr speaker, is alarmist, unhelpful and completely misguided. in response to mr kwarteng, the shadow business secretary, labour's ed miliband, said the government needed to offer more help to consumers. 0n consumer support, he is right to keep the price cap in place. it's a measure, mr speaker, i have long supported. but the rise in the price cap of £139 means half a million more families will be plunged into fuel poverty. now, at a minimum, he should be looking at making the operation of the £140 warm homes discount automatic and possibly extending it, but even that will not be enough, mr speaker. families are facing a triple whammy — rising energy prices,
5:06 pm
national insurance rises and, at the end of this month, the thousand—pound cut in universal credit. joining me now is our personal finance correspondent kevin peachey. 0k, ok, so what should you do if your energy firm goes bust? stat; ok, so what should you do if your energy firm goes bust?— ok, so what should you do if your energy firm goes bust? stay put as the general — energy firm goes bust? stay put as the general advice _ energy firm goes bust? stay put as the general advice because - energy firm goes bust? stay put as the general advice because there l energy firm goes bust? stay put as| the general advice because there is this agreement in place that if your energy provider goes bust, remember, four have already got in recent weeks, that is a million people will found them subs in the situation, they will automatically transfer to another supplier. the thing about thatis another supplier. the thing about that is you will have your gas supply provided to you and there is not a problem and everything will be switched over, but you are not guaranteed to keep the tariff that you are on, which clearly may have been quite competitive, so you will been quite competitive, so you will be moved onto another tariff which could be more expensive. and clearly thatis could be more expensive. and clearly that is what people are fighting at
5:07 pm
the moment in which people really worried about but as more and more of these suppliers potentially go bust, they could and a paying hundred pounds a year. right, and if our firm hundred pounds a year. right, and if your firm does _ hundred pounds a year. right, and if your firm does go — hundred pounds a year. right, and if your firm does go bust, _ hundred pounds a year. right, and if your firm does go bust, and - hundred pounds a year. right, and if your firm does go bust, and you've l yourfirm does go bust, and you've got credits with them or you owe them money, then what? this got credits with them or you owe them money, then what?- got credits with them or you owe them money, then what? this is a big concern for people, _ them money, then what? this is a big concern for people, especially - them money, then what? this is a big concern for people, especially at - concern for people, especially at this time of the year, because if you this time of the year, because if y°u pay this time of the year, because if you pay by direct debit, and most people do, you will pay a set amount every month and what tends to happen is you build up that over the course of the summer when you don't use as much energy, and so the company will owe you money, you have quite a lot of credit in the bank, if you like, with the supplier, but over the winter, what generally happens, as you use more energy, clearly, during the colder and darker month and that each way and that credit for some obviously we are now seeing companies going bust at the end of the summer and people are now seeing companies going bust at the end of the summer and people read about
5:08 pm
that credit, that they have money which effectively the company owes them. the company who take on the supply, who takes on your account, is liable for that amount, so they will guarantee that your credit stays in place, but this is the solution for consumers, but it is also part of the problem as well for suppliers, because they are happy to take on that extra cost and that's what they are asking the government to do something about. thank what they are asking the government to do something about.— to do something about. thank you, thank ou to do something about. thank you, thank you very _ to do something about. thank you, thank you very much, _ to do something about. thank you, thank you very much, kevin, - to do something about. thank you, thank you very much, kevin, kevin | thank you very much, kevin, kevin peachey, our personalfinance peachey, our personal finance correspondent. the father of two children, who were found dead at a house in derbyshire along with their mother and another child, has said that "life will never be the same" without them. jason bennett said the loss of 11—year—old lacey and 13—year—old john had left him "broken". the third child, connie gent, was thought to have been sleeping over at the house in killamarsh. a man has been arrested. in the last hour, chief constable rachel swann of derbyshire police gave this update. the families of terry, lacey,
5:09 pm
john paul and connie have all been informed. and my thoughts, along with all of derbyshire constabulary, are with them at this most tragic of times. this has been an understandably shocking event that has deeply affected the local community here at killamarsh, as well as connie's friends and family in sheffield, and our thoughts are also with them. i'd also like to state my thanks to those officers who arrived at the scene with such speed, as well as colleagues from the east midlands ambulance service who attended the incident, all acting with immense professionalism in a difficult situation. whilst understandably worrying and upsetting, this is believed to be an isolated incident in which those involved were known to one another, and nobody else is being sought in relation to this incident or in connection with the deaths. the force did not have any prior
5:10 pm
contact with those involved. the man officers arrested at the scene, a 31—year—old man from killamarsh, remains in police custody on suspicion of the murders of terry, lacey, john paul and connie. a team of detectives have been working through the night to understand what led to the deaths, and i would urge anyone with any information to come forward. of particular interest is anyone who was in the chandos crescent area between 9:30pm on saturday evening, and 7:30am the following day, and who may have information that would be helpful to the investigation. thank you. some 12 to 15—year—olds in parts of england and scotland have begun receiving covid vaccines. jabs for this age group are also due to begin soon in northern ireland and in wales next month. millions of older and vulnerable people across the uk are being contacted to arrange their booster shots. 0ur health correspondent
5:11 pm
anna collinson reports. this is jack, one of the first healthy young teenagers in england to receive a coronavirus vaccine. there you are. all done. around 3 million 12— to 15—year—olds are due to follow him. it was ok. i'm happy i have got it because it makes it easier to go out and enjoy myself now. there's been quite a few students that have taken up the opportunity to be vaccinated. we were informed on friday about the vaccinations and we have loads of students and parents getting on board, so that's great. with the risks and benefits finely balanced, reaching this point has involved much debate. the uk's vaccine advisory panel initially said it could not recommend vaccinating all 12— to 15—year—olds based on health grounds alone. but once factors like the impact on education were taken into account, the uk's chief medical officers advised they should receive one
5:12 pm
dose of the pfizerjab. it's really important to remember the uk chief medical officers supported the vaccine to this age group and it has been signed off by government. we are rolling it out in schools because it is our best chance not just to protect children, but to protect families as well, as we head into winter. from today in scotland the jabs will first be available at drop—in centres. wales and northern ireland expect to administer their first vaccines to this age group in october. millions of young teens have now been vaccinated globally, including here in france, as well as the us. but while cases of heart inflammation are very rare, some parents are still concerned. i know the risks are minimal of getting myocarditis, but there is still a risk. and i'm not sure i want to put my son, expose my son to that risk, given that the benefits of getting
5:13 pm
the vaccination are so minimal. parental consent will be sought but children are able to overrule parents if they are considered competent. latest research suggests even the younger children could eventually be vaccinated. a study by pfizer found its jab seems to be safe and well tolerated in children aged five to 11. the coronavirus booster campaign is also under way, with millions of the most vulnerable due to be contacted this week. as the challenges of winter approach, it is hoped everyjab will strengthen the wall of defence. anna collinson, bbc news. time for the headlines on bbc news at nearly a quarter past 5pm. the united states will relax travel restrictions on vaccinated passengers from the uk — the new rules will come into effect from early november. the business secretary says the government doesn't expect an emergency in gas supply this winter, amid soaring gas prices. he says the uk has

5:19 pm
in the paris agreement to mobilize $100 billion a year from 2020. this is absolutely crucial, because the... it's the developing world that are bearing — this was the point that was made so powerfully by leader after leader — it is the developing world that is bearing the brunt of catastrophic climate change in the form of hurricanes and fires, and floods, and the real long—term economic damage that they face. and yet, it's the developed world that, over 200 years, has put the carbon in the atmosphere that is causing this acceleration of climate change. and so, it really is up to us to help them. anyway, the arguments made were very powerful, and we have to see where we get to in securing that $100 billion. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher is in washington. what were some of the richer countries sing about why that money has not been forthcoming? it countries sing about why that money has not been forthcoming?—

5:21 pm
about which will be heading glasgow, this is the big un negotiate and conference, that's going to be a turning point in these efforts to try and limit global warming, and these are very general went further. he said, we are actually on a path to collective failure unless we step up to collective failure unless we step up and turn things around. 0therwise up and turn things around. otherwise that conference will not be a success. so they are really using this un general assembly to build momentum, to twist arms, to try to send an urgent message that this commitment will need to be made. thank you very much, barbara. a volcano has erupted on the spanish island of la palma in the canaries. thousands of residents have been evacuated. it's the first time the cumbre vieja volcano has erupted in 50 years. thousands of tremors had hit the area in recent days, as james reynolds reports. after a week of tremors, the cumbre vieja volcanic ridge erupted. no one has seen anything like this in the island
5:22 pm
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
5:23 pm
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. 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's our education correspondent elaine dunkley. over the next few weeks, universities across greater manchester will welcome
5:24 pm
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 uni 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 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. 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,
5:25 pm
all lectures are on campus. there is a vaccination bus, 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.

pakistan, they are arguing about the security threat, england says they're making the decision on behalf of the players. i know they are genuinely very grateful for pakistan to come over and play here in the midst of that pandemic last yearin in the midst of that pandemic last year in the bio bubble and everything. but england will say that everything merge together, plus the added stress of going into what would be a really high—security situation, to go into islamabad just for three days to play these two games — that would be stifling, the security, then to go into the world t-20, security, then to go into the world t—20, they are saying it's not the best preparation for its players. jonathan, many thanks indeed. wycombe wanderers could take legal action following derby county's decision to enter administration. that will see the championship club deducted 12 points. yesterday in a bbc interview, county's owner mel morris apologised to fans and also admitted that an ongoing financial fair play investigation is likely to result in a further points deduction.

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 planning the ultimate cake, the one she will make to eventually welcome him home. caroline hawley, bbc news.

we've spoken to a player who says he was approached by ward when he was just 12 years old and 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 they say? just, like, how many teams wanted me to go to them. and why i should, like, why i should go. that is 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 the claim. email 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
5:51 pm
more than my contract. i was happy with what i got. i did not move there for the money and that, but when i got to look at it i thought, wait, that is not right. foday says when he found out about the agency fees, he told fulham he would only sign if they were not paid. fa rules ban agents profiting from the transfer of underage players. fulham fc say it had not 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 mr ward for a move he was never happy with. i was young and did not know much about football, my mum doesn't know anything about football. i thought it was just normal. we have also obtained evidence that ward approached other underage players. one document describes a meeting at this london restaurant between ward,
