good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. annual energy bills could hit £4,200 in the new year, for a typical household in england, scotland and wales — according to the latest forecast from energy consultants cornwall insight. the figure is £650 more than previously estimated — the group says that's because of 0fgem's decision to change the price cap every three months instead of every six, and higher wholesale prices. the warning comes as the government rejects calls for further help with bills until a new prime minister is in place. here's our business correspondent theo leggett. the cost of lighting, cooking food, hot water and heating our homes has already risen dramatically over the past year and it's expected to go even higher. the war in ukraine has been a majorfactor, restricting gas supplies from russia to europe and pushing up the cost of energy on international markets. the prices suppliers can charge households in england, scotland and wales are capped

by the regulator 0fgem to protect consumers. but the regulator has to balance keeping bills under control with preventing energy firms from going out of business. last october, the bill for electricity and gas for a typical household covered by the cap was just under £1,300 a year. in april it rose to nearly £2,000, an increase of nearly 50%. in october it is expected to go up again, according to cornwell insight, it would be more than £3,500 and a further rise injanuary is expected to take it well over £4,000 a year, leaving families facing bills of more than £350 every month. the increase has come at a time when the country is already seeing prices for everyday items rising at the fastest rate in more than 40 years, putting household budgets are under more pressure. the government has set out plans to help consumers with energy bills through discounts worth £400

per year, but campaigners say that is not nearly enough. i think we are prepping for a winter, if more support is not put in place, where potentially millions of people won't be able to afford energy bills. and it almost doesn't bear thinking about. the government is going to have to come back to the table and put more supports in place. for the next prime minister, it's expected to be a major challenge. 0ne candidate, rishi sunak, has already promised to provide more money to help with bills, though he has not said how much. his supporters say it is the correct approach. in extraordinary times, i think direct payments will be the only way to see the most vulnerable through this very, very difficult winter that we see coming up before us. the opponent for the conservative party leadership plans a different approach. what i want to do is make sure people are supported - from day one and that is why-

i would have a temporary moratorium on the green energy levy, _ to save people money from their fuel bills, what i will also do- is reverse the national insurance rise to make sure people are keeping more of their own money. _ 0fgem itself has warned that energy markets can move very quickly. it says any forecasts for next year should be treated with extreme caution. nevertheless, the latest predictions are likely only to fuel concerns that consumers are facing an ever steeper struggle to cope with rising prices. theo leggett, bbc news. i'll be talking about the consumer angle of this and what people can do it such a difficult time but first we'll start with the politics of it all. let's the liberal democrats leader sir ed davey is calling for october's expected energy price cap rise to be scrapped, with the cost

covered by a windfall tax on energy company profits. he was speaking to the bbc earlier. we are saying that the rise in the capital of the energy price cap do for this october, which could be as much is £1400 should be cancelled and the government should pick up the bill and it should make the oil and gas companies pay with a one—off tax on their huge profits that they are making. that seems a fair approach and will prevent a catastrophe. i think we are looking at a social crisis, the likes that we have not seen in my lifetime with millions of people going hungry and cold this winter and so, the government needs to act and we are putting forward this costly plan. david lemi joins me. good evening to

you. does david have a good idea of how to tackle this, tackling the price cap? i how to tackle this, tackling the price cap?— how to tackle this, tackling the price cap? i think we do need a budaet. price cap? i think we do need a budget- we — price cap? i think we do need a budget. we do _ price cap? i think we do need a budget. we do need _ price cap? i think we do need a budget. we do need to - price cap? i think we do need a budget. we do need to cut - price cap? i think we do need a budget. we do need to cut the | price cap? i think we do need a - budget. we do need to cut the vat on fuel which will help families and support people this summer so they prepare for the winter in terms of a warm home and accelerating the ability to insulate their homes it is much that we need to do and there's a lot we need to do but at there's a lot we need to do but at the moment, what we've got is pickering the conservative party, a race to the bottom, i think among the candidates and an absent prime minister nowhere to be seen at this political vacuum as people were refreshed and struggle their way into dealing with this crisis. but the specific _ into dealing with this crisis. but the specific lib dem proposal for the specific lib dem proposal for the price cap rates in october and funding that to a windfall tax, is that not the right action as far as

you're concerned?— you're concerned? look, it's a preposal_ you're concerned? look, it's a preposal and _ you're concerned? look, it's a proposal and will _ you're concerned? look, it's a proposal and will be _ you're concerned? look, it's a proposal and will be said - you're concerned? look, it's a proposal and will be said very| proposal and will be said very clearly as we would do is cut vat on fuels and will deal with the problems of insulation in peoples homes. that is what we think we need as a starter for homes. that is what we think we need as a starterfor ten. homes. that is what we think we need as a starter for ten. you homes. that is what we think we need as a starterfor ten. you remember that we call for an emergency budget backin that we call for an emergency budget back in may and here we are in august we still haven't had one and those are proposals and reversing liberal democrats and their issues for the price cap now that we know that people are being expected to pay almost 10% more than they anticipated in the autumn. this needs a rapid response in government and its response now. why are we waiting. we had a debate about having a prime minister in office. he is in office and he can act. not just the labour party asking them to act, the cbi, trade unions, other organisations dealing with the debt

crisis and homes are also asking for this government to act now.- this government to act now. there have been cults _ this government to act now. there have been cults from _ this government to act now. there have been cults from groups - this government to act now. there have been cults from groups and l this government to act now. there have been cults from groups and been talking about that and you've mentioned an emergency budget. what would be the proposal, what would be that help to individual people, families, that would come from an emergency budget, what actual specific policy would help people when they're looking at an enormous bill like this?— bill like this? your right to say that this is _ bill like this? your right to say that this is just _ bill like this? your right to say that this is just the _ bill like this? your right to say that this is just the poorest. that this is just the poorest families, it's right across the country. for middle—class families are struggling and that is why we think there should be a vat cut on fuel we also think in a country is all it is ours, there are many homes that need to be insulated but in that need to be insulated but in that emergency budget, of course you can deal with the cap it can also target support of the poorest. you can also do the issues of universal credit and support people who are

really struggling at the bottom end. this quite a lot you can do butjust to get on and ask now. the reason you act now and august is to help people prepare for the winter. this leadership battle of the conservative party is not over enter the first week of september. then take some time for them to settle in. people need help now, they cannot wait until the autumn. that is a peeple — cannot wait until the autumn. that is a people listening to you will think insulating homes, that's great and of course it's me that should be done from an environmental perspective, but that doesn't happen overnight and i won't solve the problems of the immediate. find problems of the immediate. and that's why we — problems of the immediate. fific that's why we need to problems of the immediate. 2.1c that's why we need to cut vat on fuels. in the warm homes discount, particularly for the elderly, this saves money. it reduces bills. it's notjust saves money. it reduces bills. it's not just something that saves money. it reduces bills. it's notjust something that one does in terms of the environment. some news you can accelerate that actually save people money today. what

the problems are pressing but goodness, where do you start in terms of overhearing already, their just predictions but what are your thoughts of how people should be planning for what's coming down the track in the coming months? it track in the coming months? it feels odd to have — track in the coming months? it feels odd to have to _ track in the coming months? it feels odd to have to think— track in the coming months? it feels odd to have to think about _ track in the coming months? it feels odd to have to think about it - track in the coming months? it feels odd to have to think about it so - odd to have to think about it so much when it's so warm and we are in the middle of summer. come winter, things are going to change and people are already struggling to pay for essentials and we are going to see a press race in october in january and people need to start thinking now about how they're going to cope with it all happens. find to cope with it all happens. and eo - le to cope with it all happens. and peeple on _ to cope with it all happens. and peeple on the — to cope with it all happens. and people on the brink already, what, realistically, for example, we are hearing of some people saying when the speaker bills come in the autumn, they're simply going to refuse to pay. they're just going to say, i can, refuse to pay. they're just going to say, ican, i refuse to pay. they're just going to say, i can, i met my max and i

cannot do any more. talk is through your thoughts on that course of action, and in some peoples actions, what is your idea of that crucial if you refuse to pay, that could really have a negative effect on your personal finances. have a negative effect on your personalfinances. it could have a negative effect on your personal finances. it could affect your credit score, meaning it's harder to take out mortgages, loans and credit cards in the future. if you refuse to pay, then your energy supplier you refuse to pay, then your energy su lie ., ~' you refuse to pay, then your energy su lie .,~ i. you refuse to pay, then your energy su lie a' ,, you refuse to pay, then your energy su--lie ., . supplier may take you off a direct debit patent _ supplier may take you off a direct debit patent system _ supplier may take you off a direct debit patent system which - supplier may take you off a direct debit patent system which is - supplier may take you off a direct debit patent system which is the | debit patent system which is the best value one and put you on to either according payments or prepayment cart and so, that could cost you more money in the long run. but it would save for anyone who is struggling to pay their bills either now or come winter, contact your supplier because they have a duty now to help you come up with a payment plan that you can afford and this might include reviewing the amount that you pay the amount of

debt that you have to repay good giving you a break from your payments are looking at hardship funds. contact your supplier before you do anything else.— funds. contact your supplier before you do anything else. always taught to them. understandably, _ you do anything else. always taught to them. understandably, but - you do anything else. always taught to them. understandably, but do i you do anything else. always taught| to them. understandably, but do not dig your head in the sand, should have a conversation in terms of the bigger picture of how we help households in the coming months, or would you like to see? i households in the coming months, or would you like to see?— would you like to see? i think we need more _ would you like to see? i think we need more targeted _ would you like to see? i think we need more targeted help - would you like to see? i think we need more targeted help for- would you like to see? i think we need more targeted help for the | would you like to see? i think we - need more targeted help for the most vulnerable people. people are already struggling and the support of the government announces is going to be enough to significantly help people if we do see this massive rise in january and so people if we do see this massive rise injanuary and so there needs to be more support and needs to be more targeted to the most vulnerable people. more targeted to the most vulnerable eo - le. . ~ more targeted to the most vulnerable --eole. . ~' ,, more targeted to the most vulnerable --eole. . ~ ,, . more targeted to the most vulnerable --eole. . ~' . ., more targeted to the most vulnerable --eole. . ~ . ., ., people. thank you so much for now. from the consumer _ people. thank you so much for now. from the consumer rights _ people. thank you so much for now. from the consumer rights group - people. thank you so much for now. j from the consumer rights group and we are going to talk more about energy and energy prices after half

there'll be a level two alert. tomasz schafernaker is with me. you been following your monitoring all of this and this is a warning that runs from thursday, the temperature warning explained. at the met office is saying and what it all means. the the met office is saying and what it all means. ., , the met office is saying and what it all means. . , ., , all means. the amber warning is there to highlight _ all means. the amber warning is there to highlight how _ all means. the amber warning is there to highlight how we - all means. the amber warning isj there to highlight how we should prepare, it's obvious, vulnerable people suffer from the heat, heat exhaustion, fatigue and things that are necessarily —— aren't necessarily obvious. you may want to travel to the coast to catch some pressure weather. affecting rail networks in the bc people stuck and

in the peak of train stations and were not going to see if definitely going to happen but we are saying is at least in this, temperatures at these levels, 35 in the six celsius, certain networks cannot cope with that very well. it's not the optimal whether to run services at these values that's what it means, with dry conditions, we should be really careful and parts with some of us having barbecues out and parks and with these dry conditions, the risks of fires breaking out is that much higher and we saw that last time with devastating effects. it's to highlight this, is not to say that it's going to be 35 degrees because many of us go abroad we go to spain, greece and 35 degrees at the height of the summer is order of the day over there. and in this country, were not really equipped to do with temperatures like that in these

never very long, and it would be very widespread and notjust a day of 35, perhaps to heathrow, we are talking about even in places like cardiff or newport and temperatures not driving at night, exactly. absolutely, because the houses, some of the houses are not equipped to deal with that wears a bright, we have air conditioning so that is part of the problem of the heat wave and the fact that it is lasting for so long. and the fact that it is lasting for so lonu. �* �* , so long. and i'm interested in how other countries _ so long. and i'm interested in how other countries do _ so long. and i'm interested in how other countries do with _ so long. and i'm interested in how other countries do with it - so long. and i'm interested in how other countries do with it because | other countries do with it because people will be watching singh i love hot weather, stop making out that this is a bad thing. i love going to hot countries. but it is the point that there are many countries that just have more robust infrastructure in different infrastructure and they are designed when talking about public transport in buildings for domestic buildings that are designed

by the fbi, on his mar—a—lago home in florida. agents carried out a search over a number of hours — neither the fbi nor the justice department is commenting. donald trump claimed a safe was broken into. here's our correspondent, richard galpin. this is donald trump's large home in florida and explained a little more about what we think the reason was because it does depend on who you listen to as to what actually happened. listen to as to what actually happened-— listen to as to what actually hauened. , , ., ., happened. exactly, first of all, 'ust happened. exactly, first of all, just behind _ happened. exactly, first of all, just behind me, _ happened. exactly, first of all, just behind me, the _ happened. exactly, first of all, just behind me, the large - happened. exactly, first of all, i just behind me, the large estate, that residency of donald trump, he wasn't actually here yesterday when the fbi, raided or put his home under siege. the fbi, raided or put his home undersiege. he the fbi, raided or put his home under siege. he was spotted in new york but we all found out about that search by a lengthy statement that heissued search by a lengthy statement that he issued where he described and

accuse the democrats of breaking into the home of the 45th president of the united states. he said the search, the unannounced search by the fbi was not appropriate and not necessary. they said they're able to work cooperatively with the government departments and also said nothing like this is ever happened to a united states president before and he said that this would only happen in broken third world countries which she feared america was turning into. so, to answer your question, the fbi and thejustice department haven't confirmed any details of the search and in fact, it is donald trump sun eric who was on fox news last night and talked about records or documents held by that time. he said the research was related to that time to get story. the national archive assessed asked the justice department to investigate donald trump over the removal of the official documents of

the white house to each year at morrow logo earlier this year and they said they found 15 boxes of official documentation, some which the papers have been ripped up and taped back together and donald trump says that this is a political, a way to stop him from running as president in 2024 and he said that this is prosecution or misconduct and it is the weaponisation of the justice department and eric trump criticised the fbi searched alongside a number of other republicans. the white house however has said that he didn't have any prior knowledge of this search before it went ahead. 1 prior knowledge of this search before it went ahead.- prior knowledge of this search before it went ahead. i know you say we haven't had _ before it went ahead. i know you say we haven't had any _ before it went ahead. i know you say we haven't had any formal— before it went ahead. i know you say| we haven't had any formal comments from the justice we haven't had any formal comments from thejustice department or anyone like that, but the fact is that a search carried out of this nature would have to have a warrant. and it would have to go through certain processes. find

and it would have to go through certain processes.— and it would have to go through certain processes. and because this is the primary _ certain processes. and because this is the primary resident _ certain processes. and because this is the primary resident of— certain processes. and because this is the primary resident of donald i is the primary resident of donald trump, a former us presidents, their secrets of his offices who checked the warrant and allow the fbi to carry out their duties. this is donald trump said, unprecedented. this is never happened to another us president that is why, i wish i could show you this bank is lined with a number of members the medium press because there's interest in it and up and down this road, there are from supporters waving american flags and another flag including donald trump 2024 because they to believed elected president, donald trump, this is a political. this is a way for the democrats to do something so donald trump cannot run in a presidential run in 2024. the white house hasn't said anything, it claims it did not get involved in its distance itself from any kind of work that the justice department of

the fbi are doing in order to try and mitigate any accusations of political. and they said they did not know or had any advanced warning about this when it took place. in about this when it took place. in florida with the latest. students across scotland have been receiving their exam results today — and the pass rate is down compared with the previous two years when covid pandemic measures were in place. at higher level, the number of pupils getting an a to c pass was nearly 79%. that's down from just over 87% last year, but higher than pre—pandemic levels when the last formal exams took place. the pass rates for national 5 and advanced highers followed a similar pattern. james shaw has been speaking to students. the moment of truth is approaching. here you go, good luck, nick. that moment when pupils find out if they've achieved the results they wanted or not.

good luck. like thousands across scotland, these pupils at currie community high school are quietly relieved it is all over. high school are quietly relieved it is all over. how did you do? i got all as. all have felt the impact of the disruptions of the last two years. sometimes working at home, sometimes in school. it sort of caused there to be, like, breaks in my studies. for example, we'd be going to class some days and then someone might get covid and have to go into lockdown because of this. or my family members getting covid and going into lockdown because of that. and then missing classes, which then meant i had to catch up more, making it more difficult for me. it was horrible, hard sometimes, very hard. i definitely think learning was disrupted and because we couldn't get face—to—face teaching, it definitely affected, i think. the head here at currie high has tried to give them the resilience to get through this most challenging of times.

covid, you know, otherfactors that contribute to making this scenario really difficult, has really given our young people a lot to think about and deal with, but, my goodness, have they risen to the challenge and shown a resilience that is of real steel and one for us as adults, i think, to learn from. on the face of it, this looks like a return to normality, but, in fact, there has been a lot of disruption caused by pupil and staff absences because of covid. and that unprecedented situation explains why the scottish qualifications authority has been more generous with its grading this year. compared to 2019, the last year when there was a full set of exams, these results are an improvement, but they are not as high as the two years of the pandemic when grades were based on assessments by teachers. the sqa say they have tried to be as fair as possible.

i think we recognised that although it was a return to exams, it was not a return to a normal year and we've sought, working closely with the education system, to ensure that our awards are fair to learners but also recognise the disruption that learners have faced. meanwhile, the scottish government has been under pressure to make progress on its goal of reducing the attainment gap between pupils from the most deprived backgrounds and those from the most affluent. until now, there has not been much sign of improvement. they will argue that this set of results shows progress is being made. james shaw, bbc news, edinburgh. now, it's time for a look at the weather. it's all about the heat and how high the stooges are going to get to the

rest of this week. very parched ground supports the country. blue sky and strong sunshine of her head. that is where it's going to be the story for the vast majority of us in the next five days or so. a member cloud sitting across the far northwest of scotland and overnight elsewhere, largely cloud free. a few missed patches here in temperatures dropping to around 11 or 17 degrees to start off the wednesday morning. tomorrow brings a very similar data today and it is dry, it's going to be hard for many of us must see the covers returning in temperatures generally in the low 30s are high 20s in the south but the mid to high 20s in the south but the mid to high 20s even further north and so, he'd on the way and thursday onwards, thatis on the way and thursday onwards, that is what we have the warning to the met office of extreme heat causing a few problems and into the weekend, quite a long heat wave and hopefully we can see a little bit cooler by sunday and perhaps some

prices, have shot up partly because of the war, because russia is threatening to hold back some of its gases. we got some... the regulator has said if you're an energy supplier and you have to pay more to buy your energy than you are getting back from customers, then you can recoup those extra costs by putting them onto bills. it's the new term for all of us, but what it means is it can protect consumers as well. cross your mind back to a year ago. who picks up the tab for that. ultimately, it's all of us. over £3 billion it's reckoned we are not have to pay. the idea is we take some of that, but a lot of commentators are saying not now, 0fgem. this is the wrong time. it is

saying could we widen the windfall tax? that could be one way, but it's not easy to apply that. the profits of the right companies. we're talking about extra help and it's likely to have to run into billions and billions of pounds. could we see the same again? is ultimately going to have to be taxpayers picking up the bill, but there's no easy answer. , . , . ., ., the bill, but there's no easy answer. , . ., ., ., answer. dharshini, inc. you for now. r an answer. dharshini, inc. you for now. ryan giggs- -- _ answer. dharshini, inc. you for now. ryan giggs--- in _ answer. dharshini, inc. you for now. ryan giggs. .. in the _ answer. dharshini, inc. you for now. ryan giggs. .. in the interview, i answer. dharshini, inc. you for now. ryan giggs. .. in the interview, his . ryan giggs... in the interview, his girlfriend said there relationship was volatile and he was often abusive. he denies all the charges. matt gravely gave us this update. 15

on the extent of disruption. this is affecting nine companies around the country as you say, it's train drivers walking out for one day on saturday the 13th. on some of those affected networks, there will be no trains at all, for example, on south—eastern services and cross country and where there are trains on great western and lner, there will be an extremely limited service. so, people are being told basically not to travel and to check before they set off if they do need to travel, and the rail delivery group which represents train companies says people can use advance tickets the day before or on subsequent days up until the 16th of august. just to be clear, because there's been disruption already as i mentioned, that was with the rmt union, this is a separate industrial action? that's right. in this case it is nine train companies, it does not in this case, it's nine train companies, it doesn't sound like much maybe,

but these are quite big train companies and actually even where trains are running on others, that aren't directly affected, they will be very busy. but this is train drivers, we have also had a series of strikes across the country, national scale strikes by members of the rmt union. it's a range of different rail workers involved there and that affects network rail and 14 train companies. their next strikes are due to happen in august and they will be joined by a couple of other unions on the same date. the tssa and some members from the unite union, and if that wasn't enough, there is at london underground strike on the 19th, friday the 19th of august. so a lot going on here. the aslef strike, or train driver strike, rather, involving members of the aslef union, that is around pay, the union says

the train drives need pay that reflects cost of living. the train company say we want to give the pay increase, wwe want to give the pay increase the train company say, "we want to give the pay increase but you need to come to talk about reforms to fund it." they have called aslef to come to the table. aslef have said, "we'll talk to you but only if there is something meaningful on the table to discuss." it does not feel like now that dispute is particularly close to a resolution. with the other disputes, any sign of resolution on those? with this larger dispute with the rmt union, this has rumbling for a while, there had been talks for months and months. a couple of times with network rail, it's... the mood music has been that progress is being made, but at the moment, it feels like things are at a bit of a stalemate and again, the union is saying we need a pay rise that reflects the cost of living. "we want to give a pay increase, but this has to be funded by modernisation and reform."

a lot of sticking points and it doesn't feel very likely right now. things can change with all of these disputes. a strike doesn't happen until it happens, but they don't feel particularly close to a resolution at the moment. the latest details on those various rail strikes. nhs england says it has reached a milestone — by all but eliminating waits of more than two years for routine operations. the number of people waiting had soared in the last two years routine operations. health experts, though, warn there's still a long way to go to reduce the much larger number of patients waiting more than a year. here's our health correspondent, katharine da costa. sally ann wright from dudley in the west midlands uses swimming to help manage her chronic pain. she says she's been waiting around 18 months to have knee replacement surgery and hopes plans to cut waiting times will mean she gets a date for her operation soon. i was prescribed various painkillers but the side effects, they made me pass out, they're not worth it. so the impact on my life has been i cannot work, so my finances are low.

but i've had the time to find other methods to manage the pain, such as outdoor swimming, walking. at the start of this year, more than 22,500 patients in england had been waiting over two years for a routine operation. by the end ofjuly, that had been slashed to fewer than 200, although that doesn't include around 2,500 patients who don't want to travel to be seen faster or are complex cases. the nhs says it's still a remarkable achievement. it is once again, i think, that incredible dedication, hard work, which has seen staff in the nhs now treat 800,000 patients with covid in hospitals over the past couple of years, rolling out, as we know, the biggest and fastest vaccination programme in our history and they've applied exactly the same sort of determination to this challenge. the nhs has been trying to free up capacity with the use of surgical hubs.

here at the sulis hospital in bath, staff have been carrying out a high number of orthopaedic procedures. iwe've taken patients from sevenl local hospitals and we've managed |to get through 1100 extra cases| on top of what was a pretty busy hospital already since september. and that's been through dedication |of the staff, really, working hard, | thinking of smarter ways to work. health experts warn there are bigger challenges to come, with around 50,000 patients waiting over 18 months and more than 300,000 waiting over a year. well, it's a little bit like arriving at base camp, unfortunately. they've done well to get there, but there is a much bigger mountain to climb, in terms of the people who've waited 78 weeks and over a year, where the numbers are much bigger. elsewhere in the uk, work continues to try to reduce the longest waiting times. but with the risk of another wave of covid and flu this winter,

some fear progress could stall without sufficient nhs funding. katharine da costa, bbc news. research has uncovered concerns about the quality of care and child and adolescent mental health hospitals. amid staff shortages at a culture of self harm. new figures show since 2019, at least 18 patients age 18 or under have died in specialist cares and england. comparisons to previous figures suggest deaths in england are rising. you may find some of the details in this report upsetting. # and all those things i didn't saym — this was chelsea mooney, happy at home...

happy at home, as herfather steve remembers her. chelsea was special, she loved singing, dancing and she just wanted to do everything for everybody. she was known as "mother hen". chelsea was 15 when her mental health became significantly worse. with an eating disorder, it's a very complex sort of thing, and i think it got hold of chelsea and she went to hospital. the hospital was a camhs unit for children and adolescents. while there, steve says she picked up dangerous new habits from fellow patients. chelsea only went in there doing very superficial acts of self—harm, and when she'd got there, it was becoming life—threatening self—harm. at one stage, chelsea self—harmed to a dangerous extent — 250 times in 18 months. then in april last year, steve received news of a self—harm incident from which she did not recover. managed to get through to icu, intensive care, and speak to a nurse there. i said, "is there any way she's going to survive?" she said, "there's going to be a zero chance of survival."

an inquest found there had been an unjustifiable delay to the routine checks staff were meant to carry out on chelsea every ten minutes. it took me a while to go into the hospital. to actually step in that door and see... ..see chelsea laid there with all the machines making all the noises. it was, it was hard. the provider, cygnet health care, said an inspection this year "acknowledged we followed best practice with respect to safeguarding". the bbc has found at least 20 children and young people have died in camhs hospitals since 2019. zeinab was a camhs inpatient for four years and says in some units, there was insufficient therapy on offer. inpatient environments

are built to be reactive to when self—harm happens, not proactive in stopping it from happening in the first place. as well as those who died in inpatient care, bbc news has found that since 2019, a further 26 patients have died within a year of leaving camhs units. zaynab says she was discharged before she was ready. so, i would tell people that i was ok, that i wasn't going to self—harm, i wasn't going to end my life. and then as soon as i got in the community, that's exactly what i would do. experts point to a staffing shortage. there's been chronic— underinvestment over the years in face of unprecedented demand. there are some pockets of very good practice happening up and down- the country but, of course, there is an awful lot - of variation in practice. the government said it was working to recruit an extra 27,000 mental health professionals by 2024. for steve, lessons must be learned. seeing her there after she was meant to go in these hospitals to be able to come back out and hopefully lead a normal life, we shouldn't be going there to see my daughter laid on a hospital bed. adam eley, bbc news.

dame olivia newton—john, who died yesterday at the age of 73. now we turn our attention to the weather prospect. sarah keith—lucas is here. this is a pretty similar seen across much of england and wales. we've got very parched ground, blue sky and strong sunshine over air. that's really going to be the theme of the forecast over the next five days or so. quite a prolonged heat wave for some of us, particularly across central and southern parts. further north, different picture in scotland. cloud and rain to come at times over the next few days, including later tonight. for most of

us, temperatures 11—17 degrees on wednesday. very similar day tomorrow, looking dry across the board. strong sunshine really lifting those temperatures. 30 or 31 across central england and wales. just that bit more cloud across scotland. the amber extreme warning from the met office is valid from thursday right through until sunday, so four days of extreme heat likely to cause some significant disruption, particularly across england and wales. hopefully there could be some heavy showers to come on sunday and monday.

today at six: the sharp rise in energy bills is likely to be even worse than expected next year. experts say the typical household will pay over £4000 for fuel next year causing even greater concern. the mental stress is enormous. physical well—being and health will deteriorate. we know we lose 20,000 people every year who die because they are in cold homes. the situation is going to be absolutely apocalyptic. and business leaders say government action is needed right now, not after a new prime minister takes office. also today: donald trump complains his florida home was raided by the fbi, it's said they're looking at his handling of official

white house documents. in court today, ryan giggs is accused of throwing his
