receive a grant of £400, it will replace alone, it was money that would have been have to be paid back in the future, and that has been scrapped. on top of that, those on the lowest incomes, 8 million households in this country, will receive an additional payment of £650. pensioner households receiving the winter fuel allowance will extra it might receive an extra £300 payment this winter. there will be an extra £150 of payment for those on disability benefits. where's the money coming from? part of the bill will be paid to a temporary windfall tax of on oil and gas companies, that will raise £5 million. the tax is what some opposition parties have been calling for four months. labour's rachel reid has suggested

that sense, the public will be delighted with this, but they are likely to come back wanting more help. i likely to come back wanting more hel. ~ . , likely to come back wanting more hel. ~ ., , ., ., help. i think what they have done and what they — help. i think what they have done and what they say _ help. i think what they have done and what they say they _ help. i think what they have done and what they say they have - help. i think what they have done| and what they say they have done help. i think what they have done i and what they say they have done is try to calibrate it so that you see these different sums going to different groups. it is targeted. at those on lower incomes, less well off, those will get a bigger slice off, those will get a bigger slice of this and i think that's partially to address that question which is what the was saying. there is those on the lowest incomes receiving more than £1000 which will go quite a long way towards tackling those inflationary costs that they face because it's a very good point, this goes some way to tackling the issue this year, the question will then arise, what happens if the inflationary problem persists into next year? and that is something that i think notjust the chancellor

and those in the treasury might be worrying about, some tory mps also worried about that, worried about the impact on business, because they view this as something, we have heard a couple of voices say, not that many, but that this will discourage businesses from investing in big oil and gas companies and the companies themselves, what worries them is if you look at the details of this, although it is a temporary tax rise, it has in the drafting of it, stated that it could be in place for three years, is a sunset clause. but the chancellor said, it will expire when the price rises drop and we hope that sooner, but we do not know. _, , ,., know. our correspondent from westminster. _ know. our correspondent from westminster. thank _ know. our correspondent from westminster. thank you - know. our correspondent from westminster. thank you very i know. our correspondent from - westminster. thank you very much. borisjohnson is resisting calls to resign after the damning report of government lockdown parties was released yesterday. they concluded

fast rising energy bills and those energy bills are particularly bad for poorer households you have to spend a large portion of their budget on energy and the chancers rightly come forward with a big package. it's notjust good because it's big, but because it is targeted at the low income households who are affected by what is going on. as far as global warming, the scale of the economic challenges we face because of that, consumer confidence, which we say are discussed, there will probably be more discussions in the autumn, but i think everything he is announced with the big package of economic support households today. you made a big point on businesses. at the moment, there is some evidence that people haven't cut discretionary as much as one might expect them to. presumably, the expectation is they will do in the near or medium term and that will

have impact on economic activity. that is a good question. there is a lot of uncertainty there. and a lot of energy price rises haven't actually fed through into our pockets yet because we haven't had the bills. they will be counted later. that will be the eighth pro rise that came in, the £800 rise coming in october. this is what we normally see inside major recessions if you look at what businesses are saying in their services, they are saying in their services, they are saying their order books are starting to contract and so the pain has not arrived, but firms and consumers are starting to be worried. ., ,. , , ., , worried. you describe this as the worst of the _ worried. you describe this as the worst of the second _ worried. you describe this as the worst of the second worst - worried. you describe this as the worst of the second worst here i worried. you describe this as the - worst of the second worst here since the second world war. which one you go for, but neither is exactly encouraging. go for, but neither is exactly encouraging-— go for, but neither is exactly encouraging. this is not what recovery is — encouraging. this is not what recovery is meant _ encouraging. this is not what recovery is meant to - encouraging. this is not what |

that inflation will build in the future because of wages rather than these global trends and that's why they're raising rates, they're not just raising them to try and deal with energy prices today.- just raising them to try and deal with energy prices today. thank you very much- — with energy prices today. thank you very much- in _ with energy prices today. thank you very much. in ukraine, _ with energy prices today. thank you very much. in ukraine, russian - very much. in ukraine, russian forces have attacked more than 40 houses. at least five civilians had been killed. two key cities have been killed. two key cities have beenin been killed. two key cities have been in intense corresponding dmack bombardment. here is a report from kyiv. russia is trying to take the donbas with overwhelming force. these shots released by the ukrainian military defence show bombardment. these current targets are twin cities. £30. bombardment. these current targets are twin cities-— bombardment. these current targets are twin cities._ they - are twin cities. go, go, go. they are twin cities. go, go, go. they are not yet— are twin cities. go, go, go. they are not yet cut _ are twin cities. go, go, go. they are not yet cut off, _ are twin cities. go, go, go. they are not yet cut off, but - are twin cities. go, go, go. they are not yet cut off, but the - are twin cities. go, go, go. they are not yet cut off, but the only | are not yet cut off, but the only route to them has been under increasing bombardment for days. if

but first, here's our scotland correspondent, james shaw. here in scotland there has been a mutated welcome to the announcements of the chancellor's plan. the scottish finance secretary kate forbes said it was good news that households were going to be getting extra support. but what she saw it as a crisis reaction whereas what was really required was long—term support for households to help through the entirety of what could be a long—term problem in terms of the cost of living crisis and inflation and she pointed to the fact that the scottish government has operated some of the benefits that it offers to support families with children here in scotland and she suggested a similar approach should be brought to bear on a uk wide basis and she also said it looked as though companies based in scotland, oiland looked as though companies based in scotland, oil and gas companies

would be bearing a disproportionate amount of the burden of the tax, the windfall tax even though that was benefiting households across the united kingdom however the scottish conservatives had said they have been reassured that the oil and gas companies in scotland will not be negatively affected by the windfall tax. ~ . . negatively affected by the windfall tax. . ., , ., , negatively affected by the windfall tax. . ., , ., tax. wales has some of the least efficient housing _ tax. wales has some of the least efficient housing stock _ tax. wales has some of the least efficient housing stock in - tax. wales has some of the least efficient housing stock in the i tax. wales has some of the least i efficient housing stock in the whole of europe. some of the oldest housing in the uk and earlier this year the welsh government said around 14% of all homes in wales where living in fuel property and they also estimated another 11% were at risk of falling into fuel poverty and those estimates were made of numbers based from october of last year or so before the bay inflation rises that we have seen this year. as to whether there was a major announcement that the chance made today he also set an extra £25 billion would go towards the welsh

government so they can spend it on this issue. as a number of other measures for england only. the welsh labour government socialjustice minister responded by saying she welcomed the u—turn made and said on the windfall tax on big business said these announcements would barely scratch the surface. and before this announcement was made it was an astonishing remark made by the welsh leader of the tuc here in wales saying some people were actually gambling in an effort to pay off the energy bills in rails. she said that a number of pensioners returning to work and some teachers were actually taking up work in hospitality in order to pay off theirfuel bills this hospitality in order to pay off their fuel bills this year. here in northern ireland _ their fuel bills this year. here in northern ireland there - their fuel bills this year. here in northern ireland there is i their fuel bills this year. here in northern ireland there is a b? l their fuel bills this year. here in i northern ireland there is a b? over that £400 — northern ireland there is a b? over that £400 discounts for energy bills which _ that £400 discounts for energy bills which households are supposed to be in line _ which households are supposed to be in line for— which households are supposed to be in line for later this year. the lady things are supposed to work is

that amount, their bills will be capped at that amount, you are not paying anything like that but you are paying out if your income. do you have a rough idea of what percentage of your income is coming in the and on energy? do you know how much or being a proportion of your money is going on energy bills? on energy around 15%. so your money is going on energy bills? on energy around 15%.— on energy around 15%. so you are already technically _ on energy around 15%. so you are already technically meeting i already technically meeting the description of being in fuel poverty and you will get some help but you are worried it's not enough given all the other costs rising as well? definitely not. as we have mentioned we don't qualify for any welfare help so we can't have benefits and we can't have grants so a lot of it just comes down to our shoulders and we have to go out there and work and i agree everyone is feeling the pinch, everyone has to work a bit

harder to make ends meet but i feel like students are not being listened to and they are not being acknowledged in this conversation. we are acknowledging you now so we are grateful for your talking to us. how pronounce your first —— thank you for being with us. good luck with your teaching career when it starts. some breaking news now. andy fletcher who was the keyboardist and former member of the patch mode has died at the age of 60. the bands are posting on social media now. we are shocked and filled with overwhelming sadness with the untimely passing of our dear friend, sadness with the untimely passing of our dearfriend, family member and our dear friend, family member and band our dearfriend, family member and band andy fletcher.

he was one of the founders of the band which was set up first in basil then in 1980. his role changed a bit in the course of the history of the band. they still performing to this day and he had another career when the band was not touring he was a dj which you may have seen him djing at festivals and clubs around the country. andy fletcher, has died at the age of 60. concerns raised by family members of two children who were later murdered by their parents' partners weren't taken seriously enough by child protection professionals that's according to a report into the cases of 16—month—old star hobson, and six—year—old arthur llabinjo hughes. a child safeguarding review also says the two cases reflect wider problems with the child protection system in england. the government says it will publish plans for change soon.

our social affairs editor alison holt reports. smiling and happy. this is how star hobson's wider family remember her. but today's report says they were kept at arm's length by her abusers, and disregarded by child protection professionals. the 16—month—old was killed by her mother's partner, the woman holding her here. in herfinal week she had become a shadow of herself. you're a spoilt pretty girl. star's family says when they told social workers and police of their increasing concerns, even providing photos of bruising on star, they didn't investigate properly and thought relatives were being malicious. if social services had done theirjobs in the first place, i think star...well, star, we know star would still have been with us. maybe if they'd have sat down and spoke to us in person, they might have actually thought,

"oh, hang on a minute. they're notjust being malicious." arthur, are you going to play for england? i and the report found the failings in arthur labinjo—hughes' case was strikingly similar. the six—year—old was murdered by his father's girlfriend after weeks of abuse. again, wider family wasn't listened to by professionals, and the report says decision—making and information sharing were poor. arthur was a gorgeous child. he could have gone on to have such a wonderfulfuture. he would have been encouraged to achieve all his goals. and i just think to say that a mistake is the reason we don't have him is not enough. many of the problems found in these tragic cases reflect pressures across the child protection system, including high caseloads and the high turnover of social workers. the woman who led the review says there needs to be fundamental change.

she wants new expert teams bringing together social workers, police and others to investigate and oversee cases. i don't think we can ever exaggerate how complicated and how difficult it is to do this work. and we must give every child, every family, but also every practitioner who's working in this area the best possible chance of protecting children. part of the tragedy in star and arthur's cases is that the failings identified in this report are failings which have been found in past terrible child deaths. the question now is whether the changes recommended can make a real difference. # happy birthday to you...# it would have been star's third birthday this month. her family marked it together. they say they will keep pushing to ensure other children are better protected. alison holt, bbc news.
