hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejo kiernan, former welsh labour adviser and broadcaster, and mo hussein, former conservative adviser and political commentator. tomorrow's front pages. we start with vi. —— of the i. the uk's energy crisis is the lead for the paper — it suggests taxpayers will be footing the bill for energy firms going bust, as the government prepares loans to support the industry. "the price cap must go" — the warning from energy companies on the front of the telegraph, who say they need to raise bills to meet the rise in wholesale gas prices. that story is also top for the ft, with reassurance from the business secretary that the uk's lights will not be going out as a result of the crisis. the paper also picks up on news that the us will relax travel rules

for those travelling from the uk and the eu from november. despite those reassurances from the business secretary, the guardian tells us to prepare for a winter of discontent and carries a warning from former cabinet minister damian green about a "very, very, diffcult winter ahead". that story also the lead for the times, but the paper has found room to mark the return of the chelsea flower show. the star has managed to find a connection between the late vera lynn and the gas crisis, with the headline "we'll meat again, don't know where, don't know when..." — reflecting the looming meat shortage. the mail claims borisjohnson is pressuring gps to offer more in—person consultations. the metro pays tribute to the mother and three children whose bodies were found at a house in derbyshire. a 31—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. plenty, as always, to discuss. we will start with energy, and we look at the times newspaper to begin with, dozens of energy firms will be left to collapse. from what we were

talking about earlier, about 55 firms of whom only ten my survive, is one estimation. does that sound right? is one estimation. does that sound riuht? . is one estimation. does that sound riiht? ., . ., , is one estimation. does that sound riuht? . . ., , , ., is one estimation. does that sound riuht? . ,' . , right? that certainly is what is bein: right? that certainly is what is being reported _ right? that certainly is what is being reported across - right? that certainly is what is being reported across the - right? that certainly is what is i being reported across the papers tonight, and it is clearly very worrying the sub the entire situation is very worrying for families and businesses across the country, and the point of having more energy firms is that you have more energy firms is that you have more competition and more choice, which is really, really important so the market is not controlled by the big six and they grip... seeing this reverse is clearly going to cause concern and it opposes the government a real challenge today and in the days ahead, but ultimately the government, i think, is right to come down on the side of consumers and to not move on the energy price cap, which helps millions of people and it keeps things at a level rather than the

scenario without a price cap, where there is a range of prices and it is high, so there is a range of protection for the public and a difficult decision has to be made, but i think it is going to come down on the side of consumers with this. we are going to bring in the guardian newspaper on this, a similar topic, guardian newspaper on this, a similartopic, prepare forwinter guardian newspaper on this, a similar topic, prepare for winter of discontent. this is notjust about energy prices. what does this cover? it is covering so much! we have got food shortages, stories about the fact that — food shortages, stories about the fact that we might run out of meat in days, _ fact that we might run out of meat in days, food prices have gone up anyway, — in days, food prices have gone up anyway, energy prices all over the place _ anyway, energy prices all over the place talking about a perfect storm, potentially this autumn and winter. we've _ potentially this autumn and winter. we've got— potentially this autumn and winter. we've got the rise in national insurance. _ we've got the rise in national insurance, we have got millions of families_ insurance, we have got millions of families facing that cut to universal credit. there is some

will be on their constituents will sub this is very much a cost—of—living issue, this is the kind of issue that comes up on the doorstep when you get to elections and people care about what the government is doing to protect them from these kind of costs and to insulate them as much as possible, so i think the mood in the party is anxious, certainly worried, and the view is that the government does need to really grip this. i think there are various options on the table about the kind of things the government could do. equally, i think it is difficult for the governmentjust to give a bailout to all of these energy companies that i don't think will sit well with taxpayers either, so it is a difficult balance that needs to be struck. �* , ., ., ~' difficult balance that needs to be struck. �* , ., ., , struck. let's look at the daily star, struck. let's look at the daily star. which — struck. let's look at the daily star, which does not - struck. let's look at the daily star, which does not always. struck. let's look at the daily - star, which does not always look believe it needs to go for balance, but the front headline there — we'll meat again. channeling the spirit of

have talked about some of those issues facing britain over the winter, and now we are going to get to talk about how people might avoid them, escape them, potentially by fleeing to places like disneyland. you can see in the daily telegraph there, dm on the front page, it says, delighted as us lifts ban on travel from britain. britain is correct, but it is a number of countries, eu countries as well. disneyland, disney world, epcot centre, empire state building— to me were to stop. which one are you going for? taste were to stop. which one are you going for?— were to stop. which one are you ioini for? . ., ., , ., ., going for? we are all lusting for a sense of that, _ going for? we are all lusting for a sense of that, who _ going for? we are all lusting for a sense of that, who have - going for? we are all lusting for a sense of that, who have away - going for? we are all lusting for a| sense of that, who have away yet! going for? we are all lusting for a - sense of that, who have away yet! -- sense of that, who have away yet! —— not gotten away for some people who have not— not gotten away for some people who have not seen loved ones, family and friends _ have not seen loved ones, family and friends for— have not seen loved ones, family and friends for a — have not seen loved ones, family and friends for a long time now. it is a bit short— friends for a long time now. it is a bit short on— friends for a long time now. it is a bit short on the detail. not clear at all— bit short on the detail. not clear at all whether this will include children _ at all whether this will include children. under sixteens. and sol think—

excitement, they probably will be thinking, again, there is a lot in here that is quite ambiguous, and it speaks to what you see in governments across the world, you make an announcement, you make a good headline, and then actually the detail does not quite live up to that headline, so let's wait and see. i think the thing that is probably more concerning is the status of the astrazeneca vaccine, which is very common in the uk, but has not been naturally recognised by the american authorities, so there is a question mark about whether that would be valid, and then you get to other vaccines that other countries have been pursuing — with 80 valid as well? i do think we probably need to wait and see a bit more of the detail before people spend money booking flights —— would those be valid as well? in spend money booking flights -- would those be valid as well?— those be valid as well? in order not to worry there _ those be valid as well? in order not to worry there are _ those be valid as well? in order not to worry there are christmas - to worry there are christmas crackers or not, perhaps everyone will go to america in november,

misses, and it goes back to the gp point, is that there are a lot of people don't have a choice of working from home, the people who working from home, the people who work in logistics, who collect our pins, who stuck supermarket shelves, work in the service sector. they have not had the opportunity to work from home and they will not have that opportunity, so i think it would be ill—advised for government to go, really, big on this, and i think that is not with a plan to do, but to ignore that whole swathe of people who this does not even apply to, i think, people who this does not even apply to, ithink, would be a mistake, so if it works for you, then great, but i do nothing we should ignore the fact that a lot of people who do incredibly importantjobs, who are not going to have this opportunity or benefit from the settle.- or benefit from the settle. home in the last 20 — or benefit from the settle. home in the last 20 months _ or benefit from the settle. home in the last 20 months -- _ or benefit from the settle. home in i the last 20 months -- home workers the last 20 months —— home workers in the last 20 i7 the last 20 months —— home workers in the last 20 17 led by the queen, who has worked largely from windsor castle. herfamily is expanding. we

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 way home, 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 england and wales cricket noard said in a statement... the england and wales 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. because it's a small cricket fraternity that we have, 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 put into 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 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. football now, and the england lionesses manager sarina wiegman is strongly opposed to having a world cup every two years, saying, "players are not robots." fifa will hold a summit with its member associations and various fans groups at the end of the month. they say that there is a broad consensus that the international men's and women's calendar needs to be "reformed and improved". the current programme of fixtures runs until the end of 2023. fifa's head of global development, arsene wenger, is in favour of a world cup every two years while wiegman most certainly isn't. i wouldn't do it.

why is that? because i think it's not good for the players, for their welfare. in europe, we are very organised. we have very good competitions. we have the euros, then you have the olympics. then you have the world cup, which are major tournaments for us from europe, and i think when you have all these tournaments every year, when are the players going to get some rest? and where are they going to recover from a very intense football year every year in a row? players are not robots, so i don't think it's a very good idea. 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 where this would end up, that he would end up with a points deduction, and they made a deliberate policy to fight it until the end so they could get to this season, pick up the championship money, put us back into league one. and what's it to him at that point? everton midfielder james rodriguez has travelled to qatar for talks over a potential move to the middle east. the colombian has yet to play for new manager rafael benitez this season after missing a number of games because of a covid—related issue. he joined from real madrid a year ago and is reported to be on wages worth £200,000 a week. 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. and that's all your sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of our team, bye—bye. hello there. for central and southern parts of the uk this week, it's not going to be looking that bad at all. with high pressure always nearby, it'll be dry, quite warm with plenty of sunshine. but we'll start to see some changes from wednesday onwards across the north of the uk, more especially for scotland, where it will turn windier with some rain at times and it will feel cooler. so a bit more of an autumnal feel there. high pressure, though, dominates the scene into tuesday, many places starting dry.

there will be some mist and fog around, some dense patches across east anglia and the southeast which will tend to dissipate through the day. bit of mist and fog to start the day for scotland and northern ireland, and then it'll turn cloudier and windier for western scotland, perhaps western northern ireland, with some light and patchy rain here. but eastern scotland, eastern northern ireland, most of england and wales, fine and dry with some sunshine. and again, feeling quite warm, temperatures into the low 20s celsius. into tuesday night, it starts to turn cloudier, windier and wetter across the northwest of the uk. further south, closer to high pressure, winds will be lighter, there will be some clear spells again, one or two chilly spots, but a bit milder further north and west. this is where we start to see the changes, then, around the middle part of the week. indeed, it's on cue during the autumn equinox, with some rain and strong winds pushing in to scotland, northern and western areas, and then this band of rain will move southwards into northern ireland, southern scotland later in the day. behind it, sunshine, blustery showers, gales here. to the south of this rain band, though, for the majority of england and wales, another fine day to come. and quite warm, top temperatures of 22 or 23 degrees.

as we move into thursday, another area of low pressure skirts the north of the uk. that'll bring another swathe of wet and windy weather across scotland, maybe some gales later in the day. a bit more cloud further south, but again, for much of england and wales, the midlands southwards, it'll be dry with some lengthy spells of sunshine, top temperatures 20 or 21 degrees. but cooler in the north, ten to 16 degrees here — particularly chilly when you factor in the wind. through friday and then into the weekend, we start to see the winds change direction. low pressure develops to the west of the uk. that draws up some mild south—westerly winds across the uk, but we'll start to see some wet weather pushing into western areas as we reach part two of the weekend. but again, across the south, it could stay dry with plenty of sunshine.
