this is bbc news, i'm james reynolds. the headlines at eight o'clock: despite a massive rise in the wholesale costs paid by energy firms, no government bail—out for companies in trouble — as ministers say gas and electricity supplies are secure. there is absolutely no question, mr speaker, of the lights going out, or of people being unable to heat their homes. in supermarkets, it's feared the rise in gas prices will cause a shortage of c02 — vital forfood and drinks production. c02 is used everywhere in food manufacturing to keep stuff fresher. without it, there will be shortages and food waste. the ban on uk and eu travellers going to the us will be lifted in november — 20 months after it began. lava from an erupting volcano in the canary islands has destroyed

more than 100 homes as it flows towards the sea. and, plenty of british success at the emmys in los angeles — where the crown won best drama series. good evening. there will be no bail—out for energy firms in trouble — according to the business secretary, who's been holding crisis talks with industry leaders today. kwasi kwarteng said customers would be protected if more energy companies went out of business. he said there was no prospect of an energy supply emergency this winter. the growing crisis has been caused by a massive rise in the wholesale prices paid by energy suppliers. the food and drinks industry is also

warning that one of the knock—on effects of the situation will be more shortages in the shops. our business editor, simonjack, reports. the uk energy sector is in crisis. dozens of small energy providers have already gone bust, and dozens more are not expected to make it through winter, as soaring energy prices leave many unable to deliver on price promises made to millions of customers who were encouraged to look for the best deals. secretary of state. in the commons today, the business secretary sought to reassure customers ahead of winter. we have sufficient capacity, and more than sufficient capacity to meet demand, and we do not expect supply emergencies to occur this winter. there is absolutely no question, mr speaker, of the lights going out or people being unable to heat their homes. he also announced a government—imposed price cap would be maintained. but that's one of the things creating problems for providers, as the wholesale cost of gas

is miles higher than the retail cap. you can see here exactly what has happened to wholesale gas prices. they have more than tripled since the beginning of the year, rising 70% in august alone. that's the what. why? global issues. there has been a surge in demand for energy as the world economy awakes from the covid—i9 deep freeze. international stockpiles are unusually low for this time of year, and russia has been accused of withholding supplies to pressurise eu governments to approve a new pipeline into europe. but some uk specific ones too. we have had outages at ageing nuclear plants, we have had maintenance on some north sea gas platforms, we had a fire knocking out a pipeline that brings in energy from europe, and the wind hasn't been blowing which means wind turbines are generating less, which means gas—fired power stations have to produce more. many new smaller companies set up offering cheap deals, but unlike the bigger players, many didn't insure themselves against a price spike

of this magnitude, leaving some of them now with bleak prospects. in the current market, as it is, we're not going to see it through the winter. if it gets worse, that timescale will get shortened. i think ourselves, along with a lot of other smaller suppliers out there, need direct government intervention to see us through the coming months. but the government said it will not bail out failing companies, but it will need to find a way to compensate the surviving firms for taking on millions of loss—making accounts. but what should you do if your supply goes bust? there's a tried and tested safety net which protects customers and will move you to another supplier. that will be done automatically, there's nothing you need to do yourself, so actually our best advice is to sit tight. it may take a few weeks for that to happen. we do advise people to take a meter reading or even better, to take a photograph of your meter. some big energy bosses have described this crisis as a failure of regulation. new companies offered cheap deals to grab a share of the market

with no plan in place if the cost of supplying energy rose above the amount they were allowed to charge. whoever ends up paying, the bill for this crisis will run into billions. simon jack, bbc news. the energy crisis is already having an impact on supermarket chains and their customers. the rise in gas prices has caused a shortage of carbon dioxide — which is essential to many food and drink production methods. the result — according to the food and drink federation — could be "serious consequences" for meat and fresh produce, as well as fizzy drinks. our business correspondent, emma simpson, has more details. this pig farm in east yorkshire sends more than 1,500 animals a week to an abattoir for slaughter. they are stunned with carbon dioxide, but if that runs out, the pigs can't leave and the backlog will have to be dealt with. if government don't step in and sort this massive problem out, then basically these pigs here in this shed will have to be culled on the farm, and they will go into landfill.

that, to me, is criminal. here is the issue — most of the uk's c02 comes as a by—product from two fertiliser plants. they've shut down because gas prices are so high it's uneconomic. at the uk's biggest chicken supplier, they use c02 in packaging to prolong shelf life and to stun the birds before processing, but the gas tanks will soon be empty. we are at a crisis point. we have got four to five days left, and we will have to reduce our production by io%. how many chickens is that? that's over half a million chickens a week. how long has the government got to try and solve this, then? you have only got days and hours. the government need to intervene, get these plants up and running and save christmas, and actually save the food supply chain. it's notjust pork and poultry.

c02 is used everywhere in food manufacturing to keep stuff fresh for longer. for instance, ready—made pizzas, bags of cheese, it's in bags of salad, ready meals, here's a naan bread, and it puts the fizz into fizzy drinks. without it, there will be shortages and food waste. it takes a lot of natural gas and c02 to grow some of our fresh produce too, like these cucumbers under cover. growers may have to shorten the planting season now the costs are so high. growers are telling us that if the energy market doesn't stabilise or government do not provide some sort of help for the growing sector, that we may have to see an early finish to the uk season and a late start next year, and replace this with imports. the government insists food won't run out, the industry is resilient. but the pressure is now on for ministers to find a solution to minimise further disruption

to the food supply chain. emma simpson, bbc news. i'm joined now by alex belsham—harris, principal policy manager at citizen's advice. that start with energy. what should people do with their supplier goes bust? i people do with their supplier goes bust? ~ . people do with their supplier goes bust? ~' . ., people do with their supplier goes bust? ~' ., ., ., bust? i think the main thing to do is 'ust bust? i think the main thing to do isiust don't _ bust? i think the main thing to do isjust don't panic. _ bust? i think the main thing to do isjust don't panic. whatever - is just don't panic. whatever happens, you will stay on supply and still get your gas and electricity. in a new background they will be a process going on where you will move to a new energy supplier, they will get in touch with you you tell you what you are new prices and how they will handle that transition. i would suggest in at that time taking a metre reading is you knew where you are with your old supplier and keep hold of any old bills in case you do have problems. if you are worried at all, get in touch with your supplier

obviously this is the conclusion of a policy process on that particular issue, an important one facing many people around the world. let's speak to our correspondent in washington, gary o'donoghue. a surprise move? i think it is, because we — a surprise move? i think it is, because we had _ a surprise move? i think it is, because we had heard - a surprise move? i think it is, because we had heard quite i a surprise move? i think it is, because we had heard quite a | a surprise move? i think it is, - because we had heard quite a while around the time of the g7 about the hopes of european leaders and at the british prime minister, boris johnson, that was going to see some changes to the travel restrictions. that did not happen. they set up a sort of consultation group. not much has come out of that. so i think it has come out of that. so i think it has come out of that. so i think it has come out of the blue somewhat. it is a tricky situation, because in some ways it can look like you are sort of going a bit soft on covid restrictions to lift all these travel bans in one go. i think in some sense this is partly a political decision in thatjoe biden needed to do something to placate

particularly his european allies who are incredibly upset about a whole range of things recently, not recently but all process in afghanistan, and of course the aukus deal for the submarines forrest yoga has really upset the french and take their ambassador home for the time being. i5 their ambassador home for the time beint. , ., , ,., being. is all the fine print sorted out? i being. is all the fine print sorted out? i don't _ being. is all the fine print sorted out? i don't think— being. is all the fine print sorted out? | don't think it _ being. is all the fine print sorted out? i don't think it is, - being. is all the fine print sorted out? i don't think it is, i - being. is all the fine print sorted out? i don't think it is, i think. out? i don't think it is, ithink that is what _ out? i don't think it is, ithink that is what you _ out? i don't think it is, ithink that is what you not - out? i don't think it is, ithink that is what you not getting i out? i don't think it is, ithink that is what you not getting a | that is what you not getting a definite date yet. i think this might have been quite a last minute decision. there are a lot of things to put in place, because all the carriers will have to set up a process so that they can track your e—mail and your phone number. people in britain will be used to this going back into britain recently, these passenger location the forms. they will be something similar for coming into the usa that they know where you are if they need to get in

touch with you because of a contact tracing issue. of course they will want to give the airline some time to get up. you can imagine when you have turned this type for 18 months and you suddenly turn it on, there's going to be a flood of people wanting to get on planes, see family, do business, go to disneyland. —— turned on the tap. let's speak to virginia messina, senior vice president at the world travel & tourism council in north london. does this mean that at some point in november a entire year and a half worth of visitors who really wanted to come over the last year or so are getting on an aeroplane? it is to come over the last year or so are getting on an aeroplane?— getting on an aeroplane? it is a ma'or getting on an aeroplane? it is a major milestone _ getting on an aeroplane? it is a major milestone for _ getting on an aeroplane? it is a major milestone for the - getting on an aeroplane? it is a i major milestone for the industry. for many— major milestone for the industry. for many months we have really been fishing _ for many months we have really been fishing for— for many months we have really been fishing for transatlantic travel to be unlocked, because it will not only reunite families, businesses, even _ only reunite families, businesses,

spot now. the ecb has cancelled the joint because of the men's and women's size to pakistan next month. it follows a move by new zealand cricket to abandon their matches in the country on friday on security grounds. but as patrick gearey now reports, the ecb have said england's withdrawl is to best protect the mental and physical well being of the players. in pakistan, wherever and whenever they can, people play cricket. the problem is getting visitors to come and join in. it's just got much tougher — as new zealand were on their own —— way home after having cancelled a tour over security concerns last week, now england announced they won't be playing scheduled men's and women's matches, their first games in the country in 16 years. the cricket board said in a statement...

it's now more than 12 years since the sri lankan team bus was attacked by terrorists. pakistan were forced to play international matches in the middle east. getting cricket back has been a national crusade, flanked by troops guaranteed by governments. after pakistan agreed to play in england when the uk was at the centre of the coronavirus pandemic last summer, the ecb agreed to return the favour. but now, a huge moment for pakistani cricket is off. i'm extremely disappointed. so are the fans, actually. because right now, we needed england. so in such times, we were expecting cricket to just be a little bit more responsive and responsible, i guess. these setbacks come after so much progress.

the security situation in pakistan is generally thought to have improved, and other teams have visited, hosting international cricket matches could show how it's changed. that's why this hurts. it's not easy to find the words to express how disappointing this is. the fans were really looking forward to it, and i just cannot overstate the importance of needing to have england and regional teams coming in and giving the confidence for future tours. england say they are still planning to travel to pakistan next year, but after the week they've had, those in pakistani cricket may believe that when they see it on the pitch. patrick gearey, bbc news. wycombe wanderers could take legal action against the club's relegation to league one. this comes after derby county's decision to enter administration that will see the championship club deducted 12 points. county's owner mel morris apologised to fans in a bbc interview yesterday and also admitted that an ongoing financial fair play investigation is likely to result

in a further points deduction. had this case been resolved by the football league last season, derby would have have been relegated instead of wycombe. i'm furious. i mean, how do you do this? he knew — and i guess this is the thing — he knew last summer when all this was going on, when this would end up, that he would end up with the points deduction, and they made a deliberate policy to wait until the end so they could get to this season, pick up the championship money, put us back into league one. ellen van dijk has won the road world championships time trial in belgium. the dutch rider, who came third last year, beat switzerland's marlen reusser. olympic champion annemiek van vleuten could only manage third. joscelin lowden was the highest—placed briton, finishing eighth. that's all the sport for now.

the prime minister, borisjohnson, is in new york, where he and dozens of other world leaders will attend a meeting of the united nations. he says he's using the opportunity to urge fellow leaders to sign up to financial and environmental targets ahead of november's climate change conference, called cop26, in glasgow. he calls it a "turning point for the world", but he's admitted it's "tough" to persuade allies to meet their target of giving $100 billion a year to developing nations to cut carbon emissions. our political editor, laura kuenssberg, has more. a warning — her report does contain flashing images. an emergency unfolding. the point the prime minister travelled to new york to make. the united nations, meeting here, is not united in how to slow down changes to the climate, how much to spend, how much carbon to save. we are close to the moment to start. borisjohnson's mission, to try to push other

countries into line. everybody always agrees that something must be done. saying something isn't enough for him. it's only chance that has put the uk in charge of trying to get global agreement this autumn, so success orfailure is about political ambition as well as the planet. we have to grow up and take our responsibilities. i think we go through a period of, you know, glorious indifference about the world. we've been through that. we've been through our childhood, if you like. we have now got to realise that this is a problem that requires grip. the official international machine urges progress. our world is challenged like never before. from climate change to conflict, to covid—19. it would be easy to lose hope. but we are not hopeless. yet, what hope is there, really, when vast countries like china, india — huge emitters of carbon — are not quite so keen?

strangely, this meeting really matters to downing street because of the next big international shindig at home — the climate conference in glasgow at the beginning of november. the prime minister wants all countries, big and small, wealthy and less so, to make more dramatic promises to cut their carbon, and for the richer ones to put their hands in their pockets to help the others go green. right now, he only puts the chances of that happening in time at six out of ten, so there is a real demand for borisjohnson to create momentum here in manhattan. who will be moved? the outspoken brazilian leader has let the amazon forest burn. borisjohnson vowed to tell jair bolsonaro to stop and reverse what's going on, but every country on the stage in new york this week has its own interests. every country, its own political climate. this week, the prime minister's powers of persuasion may not stretch far enough. laura kuenssberg,

bbc news, new york. on the spanish island of la palma, part of the canary islands, thousands of people have been moved from their homes, 100 homes have been destroyed, and flights have been cancelled after a volcano erupted yesterday. the flow of lava, 15 metres high in places, destroyed everything in its path. it's the first time in a half—century that the cumbre vieja volcano on la palma has erupted. no injuries have been reported so far — as our correspondent, nickjohnson, reports. buildings which once had a good view of the cumbre vieja volcano now have an even better view of its lava. the eruption is now steadily burning its way through homes. the noise coming from the volcano, it sounds like, i don't know, 20 fighterjets taking off right now. it is extremely loud. no—one has seen anything like this on the island of la palma for half a century.

the eruption has created its own apocalyptic landscape. rivers of lava channel their way down towards the nearby villages. "look, look, it's falling," the man says. the flow of lava takes down a building. houses in surrounding areas have also been swallowed up. "eight metres of lava," he says. translation: right now the most important thing | is to guarantee security. we are still in the eruption phase of the volcano's activity. please, let's be extremely careful. the authorities have ordered the residents of four villages to get to safety, and tourists have

decided to go home. i am worried, i am sorry for all the people that are losing or have already lost their houses. we have no good feeling now on this island and therefore we want to leave, so fast as possible. but spain's tourism minister says she sees the eruption as an opportunity — a chance to entice tourists to come back and see this spectacle from a safe distance. nickjohnson, bbc news. princess beatrice has given birth to a baby girl, who was born on saturday. it's the queen's granddaughter�*s first child. buckingham palace said the princess and her daughter are "doing well" and the baby's grandparents and great—grandparents are "delighted". now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello there. we started the week off on a fine note, high pressure dominating the weather picture. lots of sunshine around, but there's been some cloud across the southeast thanks to that weather front and these weather

fronts across scotland and northern ireland. this will sink southwards and pretty much melt away, so many places will be dry tonight, lengthy clear skies. where skies are clear, with light winds, it'll turn quite chilly, particularly in rural spots. where we hold onto the cloud, temperatures just into double figures. our area of high pressure's with us into tuesday as well. it will keep all these weather fronts out at bay, but this one slowly pushing into the far north—west. more isobars here, so quite windy for northern and western scotland, a bit more cloud here at times. eastern scotland, much of northern ireland, england and wales, after a cool start, a bit of mist and fog, it's a fine day, plenty of sunshine and quite warm too — highs on 20 to 21 or 22 degrees in the south. then from wednesday onwards, although the south stays fine and dry with some sunshine, it will be turning cooler and windier, with outbreaks of rain in the north.

target is supposed to be set for 2025. for many countries around the world, this is the issue in the run—up to november's cop26 climate summit in glasgow. so, how far short of money are they? it's quite hard to calculate what should be included because it's a complicated mix of public and some private finance. but the oecd estimates that by 2019, the figure had reached just over $79 billion, and it won't have got to 100 billion by 2020. between 2016-2018, 43% of the funding went to asia, 25% went to africa and 17% to the americas, a lot of it spent on green energy or transport infrastructure. and as we've heard from mrjohnson, a big push to increase the overall amount of money provided is certainly on, but where should it come from? un climate experts say the most generous donors among the g7 group of rich countries have been germany, japan and france in that order.

slightly behind them are the uk and canada, and the main laggards — the united states, which is important because it's so big, and particularly italy. and here's a crucial point. by 2018, about three quarters of the public money made available for climate action in developing countries was in the form of loans that need to be paid back rather than grants that don't. the share of grants was higher to the very poorest countries, but still less than half the total. and that is a big problem in countries where the covid pandemic has made access to international funds even more pressing. many countries are already heavily in debt, and huge loans will make that problem worse. so, it's a critical issue. the message from the world's poor to rich countries in the run—up to the glasgow summit, "if you want ambitious climate targets, you're going to have to pay for them." police in derbyshire have arrested a man as part of a murder investigation after four people were found dead at a house in

killamarsh near sheffield yesterday. the force say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. two children were found dead at the house along with their mother and another child. our correspondent danny savage reports. it was early yesterday morning when police were called to this semi—detached house in killamarsh. they discovered the bodies of three children and a woman. today, 13—year—old john bennett and his 11—year—old sister lacey were named as two of the victims. they are pictured here with their dad, jason. ijust don't know how he's going to even come through this... his parents visited the scene today and stopped to talk to reporters. they are devastated at the loss of their grandchildren and are supporting their son. they were the most well—mannered children you'd ever meet. yeah. as kids nowadays, they were well—mannered. they always remembered their manners, they always pleased and thank you'd.

if you ever brought them a present, the first thing they did was go on facebook and thank you. i don't know how we're going to manage without them. jason bennett said on facebook... terri harris, the children's mother, was 35 years old. the third child who died was 11—year—old connie gent from sheffield. she was lacey's friend, staying here on a sleepover. this afternoon, the chief constable of derbyshire came to the scene. the man officers arrested at the scene, a 31—year—old from killamarsh, remains in police custody on suspicion of the murders of terri, lacey, john paul and connie. specialist police officers are now examining the house and the area around it to establish exactly what happened.

danny savage, bbc news, killamarsh near sheffield. the roll—out of covid vaccines to healthy 12—15—year—olds has started today in england and scotland. invitations are being sent out in wales this week, while in northern ireland, the vaccinations are likely to be offered from october. it's part of the drive to get more people protected ahead of winter. booster shots are also being offered to over—50s, vulnerable people and health and social care workers. our health correspondent dominic hughes has the latest. not the usual start to the school week for 14—year—old jack, a pupil at belfair's academy in essex. he's one of the first healthy 12—15—year—olds in england to receive the vaccine as part of the latest roll—out. i'm happy i've got it cos it makes it easier to go out and enjoy myself now. schools do need to get permission from parents or guardians, but if that's withheld and the child is judged to be competent to reach a decision,

they could give consent. the judgment on vaccinating this younger age group was finely balanced and was made only after factors like the disruption to education were taken into account. it's really important to remember that the uk chief medical officers have supported the introduction of the vaccine to this age group and that's then been signed off by government. and we're doing it, we're rolling it out in schools, because it is our best chance not just to protect children, but to protect families as well. hands up, who thinks we should vaccinate 12—15—year—olds? i at st margaret's academy in liverpool, they've been poised for the vaccine roll—out, with most pupils keen to take part. personally, i would want to get the vaccine. it's going to help prevent the spread of covid furthermore. because i would be able to keep other people safe and also i could keep doing my education as well. i think it would help - everyone reduce the spread. it's not just for my safety, - it's for everyone's safety as well. vaccinations for young people are also under way at drop—in centres in scotland and will start early next month in wales

and northern ireland. we want to make sure every single 12—15—year—old is protected, and not only protected themselves, but also as they go into school, it helps to protect, hopefully, their teachers and others that they interact with at school, too. do you want to roll up your sleeve for me? for health and care workers, vulnerable people and the over—50s, the boosterjab programme is also now up and running, ensuring as many of us as possible have some vaccine protection ahead of what could be a challenging winter. dominic hughes, bbc news. the latest official figures on the pandemic in the uk show there were 36,100 _ pandemic in the uk show there were 36,100 new infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period. that means on _ the latest 24 hour period. that means on average _ the latest 24 hour period. tryst means on average 30,378 cases were so reported each day. glenda figure ship 7487 people art with covid—19 being treated in hospitals in the

uk. another 49 desa been reported of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. the average number of deaths per day than in the past week is now 142. let's move to vaccinations now. 89.4% of people aged 16 or over at heather firstjab whilst 81.8% are now double jab. a ten—year—old girl from hampshire who gained thousands of online followers by sharing her battle with cancer has died. sophie fairall was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of cancer last september. her story caught the attention of celebrities like ed sheeran and gordon ramsay, who backed herfundraising efforts. an online donation page in her name has already raised nearly £50,000 for a charity that funds research into childhood cancer. the headlines on bbc news — 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's says the uk has

the capacity to meet demand. borisjohnson has co—hosted a meeting in new york with the un secretary general to try and persuade rich nations to spend more on helping poorer countries cope with climate change. a conservationist has been seriously injured and her cameraman killed in a paramotoring crash in the north west highlands. sacha dench and dan burton were in the final stages of a challenge to circumnavigate britain to raise awareness of climate change. from the north west highlands in scotalnd, iain macinnes reports. well, this incident happened on saturday evening at around 4:45pm. it was a fairly calm day here in the north west highlands, but we understand now that two paramotors. .. now, these paramotors are sort of like a paraglider, but they have a backpack with a motor and a propeller on it. ..these two paramotors actually collided in midair, we understand, and came to rest here at loch na gainmhich, which is just south of kylesku.

we know now that 54—year—old dan burton sadly died as a result of the accident, and his colleague, adventurer sacha dench, was seriously injured. she's now receiving treatment in hospital. we understand her injuries are serious, but not life—threatening. now, the pair were taking part in what's been known as the round britain climate challenge. this is where they were trying to circumnavigate the uk, around about 3000 miles in total using these paramotors and drawing attention to some of the issues around climate change as they went. this is all ahead of the cop26 climate conference in glasgow in november. now, they were in the final stages of that enterprise when this incident occurred on saturday. now, the conservation without borders, the organisation behind that challenge, have said today that their thoughts and wishes are with the family of dan burton and they've confirmed understandably that the challenge itself has been put on hold at the moment. police have been here today combing the scene,

trying to understand a little bit more about what might have caused this accident which led to such tragic consequences. iain macinnes, reporting scotland, in sutherland. london has two new tube stations on the northern line, the first major expansion of the underground network this century. trains began running between battersea power station and nine elms this morning. london's mayor's said the project will play "a major role" in the capital's recovery. here's bbc london's transport correspondent tom edwards. # going underground...# welcome to the new northern line extension, where a choir welcomed the transport glitterati this morning. there are now two new stations in south london, which have been a long time coming. it's just great finally being on the tube at battersea. obviously with the power station here as well in development, it's going to get more people down. and also for the people in battersea, you know, easier to get to work, easier to get across london. it's an historic day.

it's always had a soul, but the soul's definitely coming back and it's just so wonderful. this is nine elms. the other is battersea power station. the line now links into the existing northern line at kennington. for now, there will be trains every ten minutes. 0h, ithink it's- absolutely fabulous. to havejust, like, 4.5- minutes' walk from our flat, and i get into the west end any time, ten minutes. _ ten minutes to leicester square. that means we have to go to the theatre now. we haven't been for years! the station is beautiful, the signage is wonderful. i think it's incredibly exciting. it's the first major extension i of the underground this century. it's the first new station on the northern line i for more than 80 years, and it's just the shot i in the arm london needs. the whole area is undergoing a massive redevelopment. the extension will also serve the us embassy nearby. this is a big dealfor this area. 20,000 homes are being built, jobs are being created and you can now get into the west end

injust 12 minutes. it cost £1.1 billion, which'll eventually be paid for by developers. so, what now for future infrastructure in london? could we see more projects? what about the bakerloo line extension, or crossrail 2? we are a government committed to levelling up the country. we never, ever said that means levelling down london. we want london, the south east, the productive parts of our economy, to carry on being as productive and more whilst we level up the rest of the country. today's a very good example of how that works, which is when we get together, build things like this, we can bring jobs to the capital, we can bring new homes to the capital. there is the option to extend this land further to clapham junction, but today was the day the underground arrived in battersea. tom edwards, bbc london. british stars had a very successful night at the 73rd primetime emmy awards los angeles.

the netflix royal drama the crown was a big winner, including best drama series and four acting wins for gillian anderson, olivia colman, josh o'connor and tobias menzies. the apple tv comedy ted lasso was also recognised, as our correspondent sophie long reports. # you got what i need...# a celebration of television at a time when it provided a lifeline. she screams. an ecstatic hannah waddingham took the first british award of the evening for her role in ted lasso, beating her best friend and co—star. i swear to god, if i could break off one of her arms and give it to you, because that's what you are to me. there's no rebecca without keeley. and if you ever leave my life, i'm going to stalk you. brett goldstein, ted lasso. ted lasso team—mate brett goldstein got an emmy for his role as the foul—mouthed roy kent. it won best comedy series

and best lead actor in a comedy went to jason sudeikis, the man who created and stars in it. kate winslet. kate winslet won for her lead role in the miniseries mare of easttown. i just want to acknowledge my fellow nominees in this decade that has to be about women having each other�*s backs. i support you, i salute you. i'm proud of all of you. 0h! the crown. but it was the crown that triumphed once again — winning best drama and all four of the main drama acting categories. i wish my dad was here to see this. audience: ohh! i lost my daddy during covid, and he would've loved all of this! and finally, recognition for michaela coel, who, following numerous nominations, won an emmy for writing i may destroy you. this was her message. write the tale that scares you, that makes you feel uncertain, that isn't comfortable. i dare you. i dedicate this story to every single survivor of sexual assault. thank you.

many tears of joy were shed in appreciation of those that created the places we escaped to during a pandemic year when we perhaps needed them more than ever. the show the television academy put on may have looked daring and diverse, but when you look at who went home with which awards, the big winners of the night were once again predominantly white. sophie long, bbc news, hollywood. the chelsea flower show, first held at the royal hospital chelsea in london in 1913, is being held in september for the first time in its history instead of its usual period at the end of may. it means that this year will be notable for an absence of late spring flowers, as our correspondent daniela relph explains. chelsea is looking autumnal for this unique september show. royal approval came this afternoon from the earl and countess of wessex. the change of date means the queen

of the uk, particularly scotland, which will turn windier and cooler, more autumnal with outbreaks of rain. so, we've had these weather fronts bringing more cloud today across scotland and northern ireland, and one across east anglia and the south east. they will tend to fizzle out overnight, leaving some patchy cloud around, but lengthy, clear skies, and winds for most across the north west of scotland will be light. so, it'll turn quite chilly out of town, but where you have the cloud, just about into double figures. and we'll see a little bit of mist and fog developing here and there. so, for tuesday, we've got high pressure really dominating this scene across much of the country, this deep area of low pressure passing well to the north of the uk. will introduce stronger winds though to the north and west of scotland, so here it'll turn breezy in the day with variable amounts of cloud. but elsewhere, after a cool start with early mist and fog, it's a lovely day, lots of sunshine around. 20 degrees in aberdeen, we could see 21—22 in central and southern england, perhaps south wales, as well. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, this is where we start to see some changes across the north of the uk.

that deep low and its weather front begin to impact much of scotland and northern ireland, as well, so a band of heavy rain will spread south—eastwards, turning windierand, behind it, we could see a swathe of gales across northern scotland in particular. but this band of rain will be weakening as it sinks southwards. it doesn't really reach england and wales throughout wednesday, so here, anotherfine day, lighter winds, some sunshine, quite warm, highs of 22 celsius. wednesday into thursday, we see potential of another area of low pressure developing to the north of the uk. that could bring another swathe of wet and windy weather to scotland, gales across the far north east there. quite breezy for northern england, northern ireland, variable cloud, but actually a good deal of sunshine again, particularly into the afternoon where we could see temperatures touching 21 degrees. so, pleasantly warm here, but noticeably cooler in the north —10—16 degrees. add on the wind, it'll feel much cooler than that, very autumnal. it stays fine across southern parts for friday and into the weekend, temperatures begin to recover across the north, as well.
