today at six... new forecasts showing spiralling energy costs — days before autumn energy prices are revealed. with predictions that average household energy will cost twice as much byjanuary as it does now — customers are feeling the squeeze. i'm currently over £1,000 in debt with my electric company, and we're not even — that's before the prices double, and before we hit the winter again. it comes as one city bank forecasts inflation — already at 10% — could rise to 18% — which is nine times the bank of england's target. also on the programme... criminal barristers vote to go on all—out strike in england and wales from next month and bin strikes across scotland —

there are more sobering forecasts out today of the climbing rise in the cost of living, and particularly in energy prices for households and businesses. it's ahead of a new updated energy price cap due this friday — and that cap remember sets a limit on how much providers can charge for a unit of energy. the latest figures suggest the annual bill for an average household is set to rise to more than £3,500 in october and then leap to more than £4,600 injanuary. these are predictions, and changes in the markets can affect these numbers. some economists are also forecasting that inflation — which is nowjust over 10% — could reach as high as 18% which will hit household budgets even harder. the economy will be a huge challenge for whoever becomes the country's new prime minister, two weeks today. here's our business correspondent caroline davies. pulling pints is no longer enough to pay the bills for karen. she works

pay and legal aid funding. the criminal bar association said almost 80% of its members had backed ramping up their campaign of industrial action, which has been under way sincejune. our legal correspondent, dominic casciani, can tell us more. dominic. there's a lot of talk about a return to the 19705, but even in those dark days of industrial strife we never saw the black capes of barristers alongside the black donkeyjackets of other striking workers. so today's vote is genuinely unprecedented. so far this year barristers have refused to turn up to work at crown courts on 19 separate days. today's vote — on a massive turn—out — means they're completely out from 5th september. barristers like briony molyneux. the justice system has just for so long been underfunded, and all of those who work within it have had their rates of pay cut, been frozen, and the scary thing is the backlogs are the highest they have ever been,

and there is effectively a mass exodus of criminal barristers, because the conditions have just become so unsustainable that nobody wants to do the job any more. barristers just starting out say they earn an average of £12,700 a year. their real take—home pay is arguably lower than the minimum wage after when all their hours and expenses are counted. so low, in fact, that the criminal bar association says a quarter of their number have quit for other branches of law in the last five years. and that's why some barristers say they would be better off working as a coffee shop barista. so what's the impact? since this action started, 6,235 criminal cases have been disrupted. 1,a15 trials deciding the fate of a defendant have been delayed. and there are 59,000 cases in the crown court backlog — that can now only worsen. james' son was 13 years old when it was revealed

he had been sexually assaulted. the prosecution of his attacker has already been delayed more than once. my son's wellbeing and mental health is being severely affected by these delays, because there's no end in sight. you'rejust in limbo land as a family. he should be enjoying himself as a 17—year—old, doing his a—levels, out with his friends, instead of sitting in his bedroom, worrying about the future. dominic raab, thejustice secretary, says his offer of a 15% increase in legal aid funding is generous — and today's vote is irresponsible. but the profession says much more is needed to stop an exodus from criminal law that will bring the system to its knees — going from justice delayed tojustice denied. reeta. rubbish is piling up on the streets of edinburgh. most bins won't be emptied for 12 days — while hundreds of workers

in the city's waste and recycling service remain on strike. the walk—out — over pay — by members of the gmb and unite unions began last thursday. if there's no resolution, this will be followed by a second wave of action, across scotland. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie spent the day in edinburgh. this rubbish, rubbish, and rubbish. it has only been a few days since the strike began and already, it is piling up, overflowing and becoming an eyesore. it is the final week of the edinburgh festivals, a busy time for cafe plumbers and restaurants. speaker michael it is sad to watch such a beautiful city deteriorate in this way. —— mike what makes edinburgh, the aesthetic, is the buildings and architecture. find edinburgh, the aesthetic, is the buildings and architecture. and what ruins that is — buildings and architecture. and what ruins that is just _

new results every hour. the former boss of formula 1, bernie ecclestone, has indicated he'll plead not guilty to a charge of fraud. the 91—year—old, who is on unconditional bail, is accused of failing to declare overseas assets worth around £a00 million. a vast online community which secretly shares and trades sexual images and videos of women from across the uk — without their consent — has been uncovered by an investigation by the bbc�*s panorama programme. the group — on the social media site, reddit — has now been closed. but concerns are growing that it is just the latest part of a disturbing new trend. this report from monika plaha. hi guys. hope everyone is having a good saturday. tanvir is an influencer. a photo from her instagram account had been posted on the social media site reddit, in a group dedicated to men leering at south asian women. i saw so many men commenting about trying to find out

information about me, my name, where i live, the things they would do to me, which were both degrading and sexual. they were calling me names. some of the images in this group are explicit and private, probably originally sent between partners. in other posts, women appear to have been secretly filmed while having sex, like ayesha. we have changed her name and voice to protect her identity. i stopped socialising, i stopped going out of the house. i was in and out of psychiatric units. i was just always self—harming. suicidal attempts. because it is coming to a point where i can't bear life any more. the law currently offers limited legal protection to any women whose intimate images are leaked on the internet. at the moment, it is only a criminal offence to trade an image on one of these websites if you are doing it directly to cause distress to a victim.

the problem is, the law only focuses on the kind of malicious ex—partner sharing an image, the kind of revenge porn, and this only covers a small number of cases of intimate image abuse. our investigation found that explicit images of at least 150 different women were shared in this reddit group, as well as thousands of non—consensual images and videos. the group was set up by a user named zippomad. panorama found out his true identity, and our undercover reporter went to meet him. ok, i'm leaving now. his real name is himesh shingadia. hi. is it himesh? it is, yes. he later told us he set up the group as an appreciation of south asian women, not to target them. due to the high number of users, he told us he found it impossible to moderate them. he also says he apologises to the women, and has now deleted the group

and deactivated his profile. reddit has removed the groups we reported to them, and told us its safety teams regularly take action against communities and users for this behaviour. for now, the law and the tech companies are struggling to combat this abuse, but ultimate responsibility lies with the thousands of anonymous users trading, selling and sharing these explicit images. monika plaha, bbc news. you can watch the full panorama on the iplayer now. if you've been affected by anything in this report, you can contact the bbc�*s action line online, or by calling the number on your screen. the time is 6.15. our top story this evening. new forecasts predict spiralling energy costs and soaring inflation,

as the cost of living climbs ever higher. and we will be reporting from the lake district about growing concerns over the water quality in this england's largest lake. coming up in sportsday on the bbc news channel. an england legend retires. ellen white calls it a day. the lionesses' top scorer said it was one of the hardest decisions of her life. we will be looking at what legacy she leaves on the game. new measures to protect parents from the cost of school uniforms are to be introduced. from next month, state schools in england will have to remove unnecessary branding from their uniforms, to make them cheaper. the charity the children's society estimates that parents have had to spend an average of £315 per child at primary school, and up slightly to £337 per secondary school child.

0ur correspondent coletta smith has the story. for more families than ever, second—hand has become first choice, as the costs pile up. we've got summer dresses, we've also got... emma's suiting and booting children from across nottingham, as more parents than ever turn to herfor help. she's frustrated so many secondary schools are still insisting on branded clothes. you have to cater to your parental community within the school, and you're not doing that if you're insisting on logos and expecting everyone to have a spare 300 quid for each child they have. many are embarrassed to be asking for help. i've never been in this financial situation, ever. i lost myjob at the start of the holidays. this mum of four did not want to be identified, but was really grateful of the help. secondary, for my son it's going to cost me £98 because he has to have logoed

everything, except shirts. my son can get the same education in a standard white shirt. new government guidance for schools in england kicks in at the start of this term, which should make sure that uniforms are reasonably priced and there aren't too many logoed items. but lots of parents are still frustrated that they don't know how to challenge schools whose uniforms are still really expensive. i think the school blazer is between £a5—60, it is just a phenomenal amount that you just don't prepare for. with two boys in secondary school, shwana has already spent £350 kitting them out this summer. it's really not fair on, you know, hard—working families, and families that are struggling, it's just crazy, if i'm honest. those leading the campaign for uniform changes say parents should raise it with governors if schools aren't

following the rules. well, schools are required to implement the legislation right now for this september, and if parents think their school uniform policy hasn't changed in their local school they should contact the head teacher and ask why. failing that, they should contact governing body of the school and ask why, and failing that, they should contact their mp or the department for education, who can write to the school and require them to follow the legislation. audrey, can you try this on for me, poppet? the government says the new guidelines will help keep costs down, as uniforms should never be a burden for parents, or a barrier to pupils accessing education. coletta smith, bbc news, in nottingham. british airways says it's cutting 10,000 flights to and from heathrow airport over the winter. it says all affected customers will be offered an alternative flight or a refund. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin is at heathrow tonight— katy austin is at heathrow tonight, and katy this is the latest in a series of cancellations announced by ba. yes, it is. in reality this is a

very small proportion of all the flights british airways will run but it is another sign that aviation and travel aren't back to normal yet. amid staff shortages many air lines cut back their summer schedules to make them more reliable. ba cut about 30,000 flights in advance over that wider summer period. now it is cancelling 10,000 flights or 5,000 return trips, between the end of october and the end of march and the idea there is to build resilience in over the winter period as well. it is also cancelling about a dozen return flights each day between now and the end of october, that is to comply with heathrow airport's current limit on passenger number, ba says the vast majority of customers will get away as planned and that key half—term holiday destination also be protected but it says anybody who is affected by the changes we have heard about today, will be offered an alternative flight or a refund.

36 the duke and duchess of cambridge are to relocate their family from central london to windsor. officials say they'll move into adelaide cottage — near windsor castle — before the start of the new school term. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. windsor castle. it is the queen's home, the centre of gravity for the british monarchy, and now the cambridges will be basing themselves just a matter of minutes from it. this is adelaide cottage, a short distance from the castle. it will become the cambridges' main home. it is a four bedroom property, comparatively small by royal standards. the cambridges, we are told, will be renting it at the market rate. and the move to windsor means a new school for these three. george, louis and charlotte, aged nine, four and seven respectively. from next month, all three of them will be studying here, lambrook school, a private school not far from ascot. it's set in 52 acres of grounds, it has extensive facilities and a good academic record. fees per pupil are up to £21,000 a year. the school says it is

delighted the cambridge children are joining them. the move will also bring william much closer to the queen, here at windsor castle, when increasingly she is looking to charles and william for advice and support. so a move to windsor sends a clear message — as britain's monarchy evolves and moves on with a smaller cast list, the cambridges can be relied upon. nicholas witchell, bbc news, windsor. prolonged high temperatures have resulted in harmful algae blooms spreading across england's largest lake. campaigners say the situation at windermere, in the lake district, is becoming "critical". although blue—green blooms occur naturally, they can make human beings ill and be fatal to animals. 0ur north of england correspondent danny savage is at windermere for

us this evening. the weather is typically cwmbran here, the mountains have disappeared into the mist and rain and not many people out enjoying the water. environmentalists and the authorities both agree that there is authorities both agree that there is a problem here, where they differ is what exactly is causing it, and what the solution should be, but for the time being, there are posters up round the shoreline here, warning people of the potential dangers of the water, in this popular lake. in this popular lake. earlier this month, parts of windermere turned green. the heat caused algae to bloom in this, the largest lake in england. and then the warning signs went up, telling people it could be dangerous, to them, and their pets. so would you go swimming in that? absolutely, categorically no. like, i wouldn't even put my feet into windermere. matt stanieck has been monitoring water quality over the summer. i believe it's the worst

windermere has ever been. we have the freshwater biological association that has sat on the windermere shores for the past 100 years, collecting data from windermere. we don't need any more evidence. we know what the inputs are, what we need is a plan in place, to help save windermere. algal blooms can occur naturally, but are more common in warm weather, and they are made worse by sewage run off from farmland and septic tanks. users are noticing the difference. there was a lot more life in the lake years ago, five years ago. there is a lot less life out there at the minute, there is not as many fish that i can see jumping and stuff. it's definitely a lot less than normal. and dog owners are being careful. you know, i don't think we plan to take her swimming in the lake, or anything like that, but we are aware it is not somewhere we want her to go, so we will make sure she doesn't actually go in the water here. a new organisation called love windermere has been formed to tackle the issue. they say the lake is certainly not

dying, it is however affected by a number of complex changes, including the impact of more extreme weather caused by climate change, an excess of nutrients and seasonal variations of the tourist population. you say the lake is dying, they say it isn't, who is right? well, i think only time will tell on this, you know. i fundamentally do not think that enough is being done. it's notjust our beaches suffering from pollution problems. danny savage, bbc news, the lake district. just weeks after england became euros champions, lioness ellen white has announced she is retiring from football. the 33—year—old manchester city and england striker scored a record 52 goals for the lionesses. white started her career at chelsea in 2005 and also played for leeds, arsenal, notts county and birmingham before joining city in 2019.

a moment that will live long in the memory but today she brought the curtain down on her flittering career, the 33 said it has been my greatest honour to play this game, if particular playing for england has been the greatest gift. a prolific striker she finishes football as top scorer with 52 goals in 130 appearanceness one shy of wayne rooney's record. she was a sir rail trophy winner, wayne rooney's record. she was a sir railtrophy winner, claiming numerous league titles and winning the fa cup and league cup. she has a goal celebration that captured the nation. she excels on the biggest occasion, she say it is time to watch the next generation shine. her impact on this game will be felt for many years to come. nasa is expected tonight to give the go—ahead for the launch of the artemis mission test flight to take place in the coming days. it's being heralded as the return of human exploration of the moon,

and its expected that it will lead eventually to the first woman and the first person of colour setting foot there. it is the apollo mission for a new generation, as our science editor rebecca morelle explains. after a 50—year gap we are heading back to the moon, and it all starts here, with the artemis mission and nasa's huge rocket. it's called the space launch system, or sls for short, and it's the most powerful rocket ever built by the us space agency. it stands nearly 100 metres — about 320 feet tall — roughly the same height as a 32 storey building. its colossal size means it's really heavy, so it needs lots of power. it has four engines, but even those aren't enough to get this rocket off the ground, so what it also needs are these two huge boosters. they all use fuel, and the biggest part, called the core stage, is full of fuel. in fact, fuel makes up 90% of the weight of this entire rocket. now you might be wondering

where the astronauts will go. well, it's here, near the top, in the orion crew capsule. but not this time. this is a test flight, so there are no people onboard. the time has come to put the space launch system to the test. as it readies for blast off from cape canaveral in florida on launch pad 39b, the same one used for apollo, it will be nervewracking. 3, 2, 1... the rocket thunders away from the earth, eventually reaching speeds of nearly 25,000 miles, or a0,000 kilometres, an hour. as each component of the rocket completes theirjob, they separate. the orion spacecraft is on its way. there's a long journey ahead. it's 380,000 kilometres — about 2a0,000 miles to the moon. after its launch, the spacecraft

enters into a low earth orbit, then with the go from mission control, the engines ignite, giving it the big push it needs to escape our planet's gravity. it takes several days to reach the moon, with the spacecraft making small adjustments along the way. at first, the spacecraft flies in close, 100 kilometres, that's 62 miles above the lunar surface. then it terns a much larger orbit, swinging more than 65,000 kilometres, about a0,000 miles beyond the moon. that's further than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. during the seven weeks 0rion is in orbit, nasa will collect important data and check how the spacecraft is performing. finally, after another close fly by, it's ready to head for home. now, things get hazardous. as the spacecraft nears earth, it has to enter our atmosphere at exactly the right angle. if it gets this wrong,

it will burn up. so, its huge heat shield protects it while temperatures rises to nearly 3,000 degrees celsius. a series of parachutes open, massively slowing it down, before splash down in the pacific ocean. league titles and winning the fa cup and league cup. she has a goal celebration that captured the nation. she excels on the biggest occasion, she say it is time to watch the next generation shine. her impact on this game will be felt for many years to come. you the watch the full programme on the iplayer. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. back down—to—earth with the wetter. we have murky conditions that have been developing, off the coast of the south—west for example, that is how it looked in bude. that mist and murk comes courtesy of really humid air that will feel the effects of tomorrow. very warm, humid, a few showers round, we have really poor advice bill at moment across the

channel islands, parts of
