the observer leads on the impacts of severe heat in the uk — the papers calls it �*britain's long, parched summer. the sunday express says its backing liz truss to become the next prime minister. her rival rishi sunak is on the front of the sunday telegraph — urging sanctions for iran following the stabbing of salman rushdie. the sunday times chooses to focus on reports the treasury is developing a plan to hand out more money to cope with energy costs. and finally the mirror shows the human impact of the cost of living crisis. let's begin. we haven't got emma with us at the minute so it is up to kate to keep us going, as emma did last time. kate, thanks for sticking with us. let's begin with the observer and the headline, keir starmer to demand a halt in autumn hike to energy prices. labour have

been criticised that they have been very slow off the mark to really make any capital out of this and to suggest something different from the government? in suggest something different from the covernment? , . government? in his defence, keir starmer has _ government? in his defence, keir starmer has pointed _ government? in his defence, keir starmer has pointed out - government? in his defence, keir starmer has pointed out the - government? in his defence, keir starmer has pointed out the cost| government? in his defence, keir. starmer has pointed out the cost of living has been an ongoing issue that he has been raising prime minister's questions every week. but he has been on in the last week, politicians are allowed holidays. but he does seem to have been slow to mention the salman rushdie story. and on the energy prices come on this particular story that you flashed up, it is a strong headline and keir starmer is too call for a ban or crippling energy prices. there is more detail about his

promise that a labour government, where he running the country now he would demand that the energy price cap was frozen at the current level. but there is actually very little detail in this story and presumably there is very little detail in keir starmer�*s proposals about how he would make this possible for the energy companies. it is all very well say we have a regulator ofgem, and it is not very fashionable to be nice to energy companies but we should have a bit of understanding. they are dealing with huge basic increases in the cost of oil and. those, political reason is is going on with the issues with ukraine and russia and russia and the pipelines.

but there is a reason why it is more expensive for energy companies now to pay for their own costs than it has been for some time. of course, their passing that on to some consumers. it is unsustainable and we know there is going to be real suffering. ordinary people experiencing extreme deprivation, according to some of the predictions. i'm not suggesting this is something we should ignore, but i do wonder why there isn't anything in this story about how keir starmer is going to make it economical, make it possible for energy companies not to pass those price rises on. back to pass those price rises on. back to what the _ to pass those price rises on. back to what the treasury _ to pass those price rises on. back to what the treasury is _ to pass those price rises on. back to what the treasury is doing, emma, i hope we have you come if we can hear you. i hope we have you come if we can hearyou. if i hope we have you come if we can hear you. if not, i hope we have you come if we can hearyou. if not, kate, i hope we have you come if we can hear you. if not, kate, stand by to leap in. sunday times, plan to cut £400 of fuel costs, in addition to the help the government has already

to think of wanting to turn the heating on at a moment like this, but he waves cause energy crisis, as a lot of the coverage in tomorrow's papers is about. we are not a nation where air—conditioned is normal. that becomes something else we need and we need energy to run it. it takes energy to keep cool as well as to stay warm. this risks becoming a vicious cycle. i actually think this wonderful front vicious cycle. i actually think this wonderfulfront page vicious cycle. i actually think this wonderful front page picture, vicious cycle. i actually think this wonderfulfront page picture, it is a very striking image. and then you have got... but i like about it, we start with the headline, britain's long, parched summer and then resume out to look at all of the issues that are factoring into this complicated crisis from britain's immediate next winter to the

european picture. a broader at the environment within a continent and then back to specific case diaries, particular villages who can no longer rely on running water. and then the future. the massive issue we have been talking about but skirting round is is this all about climate crisis and all things are only going to get worse? we climate crisis and all things are only going to get worse? we are led to believe and _ only going to get worse? we are led to believe and it _ only going to get worse? we are led to believe and it feels _ only going to get worse? we are led to believe and it feels like _ only going to get worse? we are led to believe and it feels like these - to believe and it feels like these events are becoming more and more frequent and intense in their nature. the sunday telegraph is where we will go next, emma. ministers must overrule nimbys, then not in my back yard crew, build reservoirs to beat the drop. the national infrastructure commission four years ago was talking about this sort of need and we are to be water away into the north sea in the winter when we have an excess of it

they are getting nothing out of it and losing a lot, you have to make sure they are getting something out of it as well. but this nimby problem as part of a big problem and a particular problem for the conservative party. where the pressures in constituencies on local mps are increasingly at odds with what the conservative government says it needs to happen and the obvious one is housing. it is well established that local residents, particularly in affluent home county till receipts objective affordable housing, object to anything, new developments spoiling their view. and you have people, we have a major housing crisis. we have discussing the energy crisis, but i don't know

if any of you have tried to persuade a constituency they should allow fracking in the area, it isn't easy and nobody wants a nuclear plant near them either. these are major issues. i near them either. these are ma'or issues. , ., ., , issues. i 'ust want to finish with the issues. i just want to finish with the sunday _ issues. i just want to finish with the sunday telegraph. - issues. i just want to finish with the sunday telegraph. a - issues. i just want to finish with i the sunday telegraph. a comment issues. i just want to finish with - the sunday telegraph. a comment from each of you, sanction iran over salman rushdie stabbing says rishi sunak. he was commenting on the attack on sir salman rushdie. he is still in hospital and on a ventilator. a man has been arrested and is in custody. this is a fallout from this fatwa that was issued in 1989 for the satanic verses book that was seen as controversial as some muslims. that was seen as controversial as some muslims— that was seen as controversial as some muslims. they are saying the stabbin: some muslims. they are saying the stabbing should _ some muslims. they are saying the stabbing should be _ some muslims. they are saying the

attack, the person he was seized at the scene is someone who has been quite explicit on social media about his affair in relation to the islamic revolutionary guard. his loyalty to a particular conservative and an aggressive nationalistic movement within iran. that is not the same thing as saying that he was in any way supported organisationally or acted with the support of anyone else. quite often, of course, if you are the agents of a foreign state in any way, you keep it quiet, you don't tweet about it. but it is clear there are elements in iran that are responding in ways that are provocative and frankly, just horrific to this attack. one of the iranian state media newspapers has today issued a front—page

with... i am upset talking about this image, it is a very distressing image, it is of salman rushdie with one of his eyes blacked out. and of course, we now know he is likely to lose an eye. the headline says, this is paraphrasing, but it says satan is paraphrasing, but it says satan is blinded. this is paraphrasing, but it says satan is blinded. �* , is paraphrasing, but it says satan is blinded. ~ , ., is blinded. as you say, there are some deeply _ is blinded. as you say, there are some deeply unpleasant - is blinded. as you say, there are i some deeply unpleasant responses is blinded. as you say, there are - some deeply unpleasant responses to this attack and we don't know yet, enough about the attack. this has brought us to the end of this testing paper review so thank you for bearing with us in getting us through those technical reviews. emma and kate, lovely to see you and thank you very much. it put me through my paces, didn't it. that is it for the papers, it will be back
