just as we start using the heating more and more, rising to £4,650 injanuary — nearly £300 higher than previous forecasts. and this is the big thing that is driving inflation — the rise in average prices for everyday goods and services. the investment bank, citi, suggesting that could reach 18% or higher next year. it currently stands at 10.i%, the highest it's been for 40 years. thank you very much for now. we are auoin to thank you very much for now. we are going to be — thank you very much for now. we are going to be speaking _ thank you very much for now. we are going to be speaking to _ thank you very much for now. we are going to be speaking to charities - going to be speaking to charities and groups throughout the programme this morning. seven minutes past six. let's return to that breaking

her alive and well. but a former met police detective superintendent says the force needs to improve communication if they're going to reassure the public. the fact is the public have a right to know what the timeline of activity is, what the police are doing about it, who they're engaging with, and what other activity — what they want the public to do. around 50 officers are currently working on the investigation, and say they're now trawling through 117 reported sightings for any clues that could help find her. alice key, bbc news. our reporter frances read is outside scotland yard for us this morning. clearly this is a large, complicated investigation. what is the latest from police?— from police? yes, it really is. owami davies _ from police? yes, it really is. owami davies was _ from police? yes, it really is. owami davies was first - from police? yes, it really is. owami davies was first seen l from police? yes, it really is. l owami davies was first seen at from police? yes, it really is. - owami davies was first seen at the start of— owami davies was first seen at the start ofjuly, we are talking a few

brighten up for northern ireland and western scotland. here we will see some sunshine. temperatures between 15 and 27 degrees. through this evening and overnight we are watching this little front coming up from the south—west, introducing some rain, which will be heavy at times. low cloud, murky conditions on the coasts and hills. it is going to be 18 degrees into the south—east. tomorrow, here is the weather front continuing to push eastwards. on either side of it there will be some sunshine. brisk winds on the far north—west. temperatures tomorrow fresher in the north and the west. 15 to 22. as we come for the south, it is getting hotter. it will still be humid. highs of up to my 29.- hotter. it will still be humid. highs of up to my 29. thank you carol. let's take a look at today's papers. the times leads with reaction to the latest inflation forecast of 18%.

it also reports on the pressure on the bank of england to increase interest rates in a bid to get the economy under control. the daily express asks, "how will millions cope?" after experts warned of the dire impacts on people in winter as bills rise. elsewhere, the daily mailfocuses on the strike action by criminal barristers in england and wales. in an article in the paper, justice secretary dominic raab claims "justice is being held to ransom". and, the liverpool echo online is leading with the tragic news this morning that a nine—year—old girl has been shot dead in liverpool. we'll bring you more on that throughout the morning. it's the uk's largest container port, handling nearly half of all shipping containers entering the country.

but felixstowe has virtually ground to a halt this week as dock workers strike in a dispute over pay. there's a warning that the industrial action could bring severe disruption to the local supply chain — and beyond — as ian barmer reports. there hasn't been a strike here since 1989, and the port of felixstowe was eerily quiet. some activity, but hardly any, after nearly 2000 workers walked out on sunday. and the effect is already being felt across the region. one of the biggest hauliers in the east of england is turner's based near newmarket. they employ a thousand people and normally have 500 trucks working out of felixstowe. we are starting to struggle. we can see the signs of recession are looming large in the uk, and we've got to do everything we can to try and protect the uk

economy and people's living standards. at the other end of the scale, firms like open ultra. a tiny haulage operation compared to turner's, they run around 25 trucks and they're normally on the port every day picking up containers. but compared to last week, their job count has more than halved. i didn't really think it was going to go ahead, in all fairness. i thought it was going to come to the last hour, an agreement would be made, but it hasn't. it's crippling. we've had drivers stood. we've got trucks stood. and that's notjust us. it affects — it's affecting our customers, recruitment agencies as well. they literally — their staff haven't got anywhere to go. they're now having to take them out of the trucks and put them into warehousing. erm, yeah, it's crazy. derek hailstone says 80 to 90% of everything for sale at mick's cycles in bury st edmunds, comes in through felixstowe. it will cause chaos,

not necessarily in the short term, in the next week or two, but going forward in the following months, potentially up to christmas, i think we will have supply issues again. in a normal week, 50 ships would come into the port of felixstowe loaded with containers. this strike over pay has brought britain's biggest container port to a standstill, and the effects will be felt here and across the uk. ian barmer with that report. 6:23am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, alison earle. it's been confirmed the next stage of the elizabeth line will open on november the 6th. you'll be able to take a train from reading and heathrow all the way to abbey wood without changing. and from shenfield through to paddington. bond street station is also due

to open by november. from tomorrow thames water's customers across london and the south of england will face a hosepipe ban. you could face a fine of up to £1,000 if you're caught breaking the rules. but some places — including golf courses and garden centres — are exempt. it comes after a long period of hot, dry weather which has left water reserves low. in the last six months, we've only had 65% of the normal rainfall. that's why water resources are running short. and in thames water's area, we get most of our water from rivers and from ground water, and we rely on the rainfall to replenish that. and if that rainfall doesn't come, then we find ourselves in situations like this. notting hill carnival finally returns this weekend for the first time in three years. expect floats, dancing, and street food. one person who's been busy preparing for its comeback is clary saland, who makes carnival costumes. every year we get our inspiration from things that are current.

we want our theme to be relevant. so this year, a time to remember is a tribute to our history and our heritage and how carnival came to be. but it's also very much a tribute to the skills and the contribution made by all the people who didn't make it through the last three years. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, there's lots of dry weather in the forecast across the capital again as we head through the rest of this week. it will be cloudy at times and the air is certainly feeling very warm and humid before we see fresher—feeling conditions take over as we head into the bank holiday weekend. now, this morning, well, it's a very mild start to the day — temperatures didn't drop below the mid—teens for many in celsius last night. there will be quite a bit of cloud around this morning, but we're seeing some brighter spells emerge, and we should see some sunny spells, too —

but, again, the cloud could thicken from the west as we head into the afternoon. the breeze is a bit lighter than it was yesterday. top temperatures in the best of any brightness — and possibly some sunshine — could get as high as 26, maybe even 27 degrees celsius. now, through this evening and overnight, again, there's plenty of cloud, a few clearer spells. it should stay dry — or mostly dry — and temperatures that will hold in the mid to the high teens so, again, it's a very mild start to the day on wednesday. and wednesday could even be a touch warmer in the best of any sunshine that we could see through the afternoon. watch out for one or two showers here and there, but certainly most places staying dry. by the time we get to thursday, it's a little cooler with a northerly breeze, and certainly feeling fresher with a northeasterly winds as we head into the bank holiday weekend. that's it from me, but head to our website for more stories — including why half a million learner drivers are waiting to take their test. now it's back to breakfast.

good morning. coming up to 6:30am on tuesday. our main store is a shocking development overnight. police are hunting for a gunmen after a nine—year old girl shot dead in liverpool. our liverpool reporter andy gill is at the scene and joins us now. what is the latest, what more can you tell us?— what is the latest, what more can you tell us? the cord and that has been ut you tell us? the cord and that has been put in _ you tell us? the cord and that has been put in place _ you tell us? the cord and that has been put in place by _ you tell us? the cord and that has been put in place by police - you tell us? the cord and that has been put in place by police is i been put in place by police is really extensive. you may be able to see me doing a behind me, glimpses of police, part of kings heath avenue in knotty ash has been fenced off by police. this incident happened at 10pm last night and they were called because an unknown man had fired a gun inside a house here. my had fired a gun inside a house here. my nine—year—old girl was wounded in

the chest, critically, she was taken to hospital but died later. a man who was in the house was also wounded in his body and a woman has injuries to her hand. they were both taken to hospital, as well. police have described this as a tragic and truly shocking crime and the assistant chief constable has said that no parent should have to suffer the loss of a child in these dreadful circumstances. police say this is an abhorrent crime and they want the community to come forward with information. they say it's important that nobody thinks that they can't talk to the police, that they can't talk to the police, that they must come forward here. they have a number of lines of inquiry, they want a cctv if anybody has it, dash cam footage, door bell footage that might help. anything that may give them some information about how a nine—year—old girl has come to be shot dead here. a nine-year-old girl has come to be shot dead here.— a nine-year-old girl has come to be shot dead here. thank you very much.

and gill. shot dead here. thank you very much. andy gill- we — shot dead here. thank you very much. andy can. we will— shot dead here. thank you very much. andy gill. we will keep _ shot dead here. thank you very much. andy gill. we will keep you _ shot dead here. thank you very much. andy gill. we will keep you updated . andy gill. we will keep you updated through the morning. now he may only be 31—years—old, but the career of cricketer ben stokes can certainly be described as something of a roller—coaster. from the highs of his heroics in the world cup and the 2019 ashes, to the lows including a brawl outside a bristol bar, his journey has not been without controversy. much of that features in a candid new amazon documentary due out on friday. breakfast'sjohn watson caught up with him ahead of its release. he's a leader by what he does. wow. 250 up. wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! no, no, no, no, no! the things that's happened to him. had a fight with him growing up. incredible highs. some really tough moments. 27—year—old man suffered

a fractured eye socket. no hiding away from it. the video's ugly. ben stokes arrived at court... he did bring the game into disrepute. trouble follows him around. he was the story. it feels, doesn't it, that your life has been a series of pretty significant moments? you think about the world cup win, that ashes innings, what happened in bristol, and the court case that followed, and then potentially quitting the game altogether. it does read a bit like a hollywood script. it's no surprise that a hollywood director potentially wanted in on this one. it was important to me that i gave my everything that i possibly could and gave the best account of not only the moments that i'll look back on with very fond memories, but also the things that have been a real challenge in my life up to now and be really open and honest as i possibly could. when did you know, firstly, that you weren't yourself, you weren't feeling right? i think what's probably important to say is that it wasn't a case of it was like a two—week thing or a couple—of—months thing. the whole thing was just a build up of... over a long, long period of time,

maybe even like two, three or four years, i don't really know. but what i find i was doing is that i had a glass bottle and ijust kept on throwing emotions and my feelings into this bottle. the more i was doing of that, the more the bottle was filling up to eventually where it got top full and then just exploded. to eventually where it got too full and then just exploded. and that was me when i decided that, well, sort of... i reacted in the way i did and felt like, no, i need to get away from here. what was the lowest ebb, and how did it manifest itself? sort of...think, how long has it been happening for? but when you're sat on your toilet in your hotel room and you're having a massive panic attack with your...with your manager on the end of the phone with his wife, and then eventually your wife trying to talk you through it and get you sort of coming out of that. just, yeah, i think that's probably when you know when...you know, things aren't, you know, quite right. and one of the things you said at the time you were most worried about is, by speaking up about your mental health, you feared

you were going to bejudged. hmm. yeah. and, like, you know, that's something now that i look back on and just go... i just didn't have to feel like that. unfortunately, that's how society is. i give off this bravado of being a big, you know, like, tough northern lad with tattoos and stuff like that. and i was like, well, yeah, i'm tough, butjust because i'm tough doesn't mean that i can't struggle mentally because these things, you can't pick and choose when they're going to hit you. it's not like a switch in your brain going, "today, i'm going to feel good, tomorrow i'm going to feel bad." and you took an indefinite break from the game. did you think that you might not play cricket again? i mean, at the time, yeah. like, that's where i was at. like, ijust... it was a very, very tough time, as i allude to. and one of the more... probably the most powerful things about that, that i watched, that i notice from the film is when stuart broad was on camera and he said the same thing. he actually said that he could see me not playing again, and i'd never spoken to stuart about that through my time away.

i spoke to stuart a lot through that period, but i'd never said the words to him like "i'm not sure if i'd ever play again", but the fact that he got that feeling through that time was like...almost an eye—opener to me at that time of, like, things were quite bad. there's the difference between good and great. as a cricketer — notjust myself — but we all know, as england players, that we've got more responsibility than just going out and performing on the field. young kids these days, they will look at us and they will want to play like us. they will want to do what we do because that's who they look up to. they will also act in the way that we act on the field. if i was to shy away and not speak about anything that i had gone through, i don't think i would be given the responsibility that's been set on me at the moment to do that. so shying away from it is something i would never do. your wife talks about the highs and lows that you've been through in 11 years of marriage. what impact has it had on yourfamily? obviously, clare has a part in the film where

she speaks about the bristol incident in particular. just over an hour ago, the cricketer ben stokes was found not guilty of affray. he's now coming out of the court to make a statement on the steps. the decision came after less than three hours... - the england cricketer was acquitted of affray... not guilty, cleared of the charge. as soon as i heard it, ijust... ijust sobbed, like, just with relief. the jury believed stokes' version of events and unanimously- found him not guilty. and she makes a great point. just because when the verdict came in, don't assume that that was just the end of that incident — like, it wasn't. that was the end of one part and then the start of another part. and, you know... still, that bristol incident will still have an effect on my life, our lives, in the future. like, just an example — like, we're going to sit our kids down one day and tell them what that was all about. because when they get older, no doubt people are going

to ask them about it. and we don't want them to be in the dark about that incident and then to come home and be like, "well, what's this thing that happened in bristol? " ben. morning. but there's seemingly still a lot of anger there from you over what happened, and the coverage that came around what happened in bristol. why is that? is that the one—sided coverage, you feel, that came from the media, or is it the sense that perhaps at the time there was this feeling that...it was already predetermined, many thought you were guilty? well, yeah. i mean, there's a whole bunch of things with that, you know? i guess the...the toughest thing about being in that situation for me was like, obviously, i couldn't say a thing — wasn't allowed to come out and publicly say anything because of, like, obviously it's an ongoing case and everything like that. but there was so much being said from other people on the whole thing who were able to say what they sort of wanted on stuff that they'd seen. and that was very frustrating to see and listen to. but, finally, i'm able to... ..dive into it a bit more from my point of view, but i've not... i've not used it as a, you know,

like, justification parade or anything like that. i've just spoken about the effects that that whole ordeal had on me, had on my family, my friends, and i'vejust gone into it, a bit more detail for the first time... ..ever, really — publicly. i don't think i've ever been able to really speak about it publicly until now, really. this is the first time i can think of you speaking about it. so, yeah, it was nice to finally be able to speak about it from my point of view. and i think... i would say anger�*s probably the wrong word — what i would say is anger is when i start speaking about it and then start reminiscing all the things that have happened is when i might get a bit emotional about it. but anger? don't know. how lonely was that ordeal at the time? er... when the trial finished, i was in training the next day. i then had a test match to play in, like, two days' time after it. so it wasjust like... it was mental. and being in the dressing room at the time was great because i was around people, you know. the hardest bit was when the day had finished and then i would go back to my room,

i didn't want to leave the hotel, like, ijust sat on my bed. like, those periods for me was the most lonely and hard bit — was... that, for me, was the start of another part of that bristol thing. did you feel that you've given so much for your country and then here you were not perhaps being given the support that you felt you needed to do yourjob, and therefore you were ready to walk away from it? yeah, like, there was a lot of frustration and emotion back then around that whole period of bristol. you know, not being in the team, not being selected and stuff like that. it was like... i guess you made a great point there about it — it was like, i've given so much of my life and sacrificed so much of my life to my career and to england, like... "jeez, like, show a bit, will you?" and here we are now. did you ever imagine, having gone through all of that, you would be captaining your country? ben chuckles. honestly, i never thought... being captain was never an aspiration of mine — of any team, really. ijust wanted to play cricket. i always thought that people are born to be captains and then

some other people just happen to be presented with it, and i'm one of those people who just happened to be presented with it. when, you know, obviouslyjoe stepped down and the opportunity was there for me to to take it, i was... i was actually quite annoyed at some of the press around it, because they linked england captaincy and my mental—health break with each other. and it felt like people were saying i couldn't do it because i decided to take a break for mental health last year. i was like, "what's that got to do with being england captain?" like, if anything, it shows... you can do anything, even if you have decided to take a mental—health break. like, its fine, like... that was quite frustrating for me to read that. someone who had gone through a bad patch, who had managed to work themselves back into a place where they felt they were able to play again, to then be presented with, you know, the biggest honour in cricket — to be england captain — that apparently i wasn't able to do it because i'd taken a mental—health break. it's just the stigma that's unfortunately attached with mental health, and it will always be until the narrative

of it is changed, you know? and, ultimately, do you think your experiences will make you a better captain of your country? no, i don't think it'll make me a better captain. what i do think it has done is made me a lot more relatable to people because i've gone through highs — incredible highs — incredible lows on the field. so when i speak about good days, about bad days, i guess people can go, "oh, yeah, like, he actually knows what that's about. yeah, i've been there. like, what's up? come on, let's have a chat." you know what i mean? yeah. it's not going to make me a better captain. i think it'sjust going to make me a lot more relatable. such a fascinating character, isn't he? �* ,, .," such a fascinating character, isn't he? . ,, , such a fascinating character, isn't he? . ,, ., he? and speaking so openly about all the hiuhs he? and speaking so openly about all the highs and — he? and speaking so openly about all the highs and lows _ he? and speaking so openly about all the highs and lows of. _ he? and speaking so openly about all the highs and lows of. i _ he? and speaking so openly about all the highs and lows of. i remember. the highs and lows of. i remember coverin: the highs and lows of. i remember covering part _ the highs and lows of. i remember covering part of— the highs and lows of. i remember covering part of that _ the highs and lows of. i remember covering part of that trial - the highs and lows of. i remember covering part of that trial in - covering part of that trial in bristol and watching him in the courtroom and then watching him exhilarated as he walked out into the street afterwards and following it ever since. a fascinating

interview. it ever since. a fascinating interview— it ever since. a fascinating interview. �* , . ., ben stokes: phoenix from the ashes launches on prime video on friday. let's stay with the sport. good morning, chetan. i'm exhausted by the premiership season already. than the premiership season already. in emotional night at old trafford, thousands of fans protesting, which we said would happen against the owners, the glazers. lots of people turning up expecting liverpool to get a win because they beat manchester united 5—0 last year and yet it is ten hag, behind you, united were outstanding. the back pages are asking who is in crisis now because it is liverpool two draws and a defeat from the vestry and united got the win fans wanted to see them get. we start with events at old trafford, where manchester united eased the pressure on new manager

erik ten hag with a 2—1victory over liverpool last night, amidst a backdrop of protests by united fans against the club's american owners, as olly foster reports. we want glazers out, i say we want glazers out! thousands of manchester united fans protested against the club's owners before kick—off. after two woeful defeats, it was no surprise that they'd turn up the volume on their discontent. many more thousands, though, were simply fearful of what might happen on the pitch. liverpool beat them 5—0 at old trafford last season. united showed off their new signing casemiro before kick off — he says he's come to win the premier league. just winning a match would be a start for united. jadon sancho was everything that united haven't been for a while — cool, composed and clinical. liverpool were playing the blame game afterjust 15 minutes. they hadn't won this season, either, and needed their keeper alisson at full stretch to stop them falling further behind. united's second came soon after the break — marcus rashford stayed onside and was on target. he'd been preferred

to cristiano ronaldo up front. the new manager celebrated the goal — and perhaps his own team selection. they needed that, as well, because liverpool pulled a goal back. mo salah scored five times against united last season — but this time it was for a losing cause. a match that started with those united demonstrations ended with their celebrations. the first win, of course, brings a lot ofjoy. it is clear. we had a difficult start, and i'm really happy — especially for the fans — that we bring them this victory. and of course, for them, it's really important to bring the victory over liverpool. it starts with the mindset, that they understand that this attitude — that is what they have to bring. and it starts in the preparation. and of course we have to enjoy the first 24 hours, but then go with your focus to the next game, because every game is a battle. you can just feel that the mood has really lifted here, and it's also a result that has

lifted united above liverpool in the table — that will make the result all the sweeter for united's fans. as for liverpool supporters — well, they're the ones that are still waiting for their first win of the season. olly foster, bbc news, old trafford. newcastle arab next for liverpool. —— newcastle are up next. plenty of good wishes for england's all time women's goal—scorer ellen white this morning, after she announced she's retiring from football. the 33—year—old scored 52 goals for the lionesses including two en route to winning the euros last month. white thanked those who have supported her as she announced the news in a social media post, saying she was looking forward to spending more time with her husband, who she called her "greatest supporter". in cricket's hundred, defending champions southern brave kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds, thrashing welsh fire by nine wickets. tim david sealed victory with 18 balls to spare,

after his brave team—mate paul stirling had hit an unbeaten 74. and all that after bowler george garton took three wickets in the first seven balls, with welsh fire eventually recovering to post 129—8. southern brave eased to the target though, ending fire's hopes of progressing. particularly impressive for garton who has talked about having long covid. , ., ., ,, covid. great to see him back. thank ou ve covid. great to see him back. thank you very much _ covid. great to see him back. thank you very much indeed. _ 6:44am. let's have a look at the weather for the next few days with carol. good morning. the weather certainly is changeable over the next few days. this morning it is a humid start, temperatures already in the mid to high teens and we also have some showery outbreaks of rain in the forecast, as well. today and tomorrow will probably be the warmest days of this week, and temperatures will slip just. we warmest days of this week, and temperatures will slipjust. we have

this weather front coming in from the west, moving eastwards, ringing showery outbreaks of rain. no pressure anchored to the north and we are importing all this humid air across the uk, so you will wake up and notice that if you have managed to sleep in it and it will be with us through the course of today. quite a cloudy start with low cloud, mist and fog across the hills and coasts particularly of corn will come into northern england, central and eastern scotland. at the same time our weather front will push steadily eastwards, producing outbreaks of rain, nothing too heavy. temperatures today ranging from 15 in lerwick to 24 in birmingham, the top ten project likely to be 27 in norwich. this evening, we say goodbye to the weather front but you can see we have another one coming in from the south—west, pushing northwards and eastwards. this will have heavy and persistent rain in it and is it clears northern ireland, for you, you will find it turns fresher. for the rest of us, it will be another

humid nightand the rest of us, it will be another humid night and we will see it again, a lot of murk particularly across the band of rain. this is the waving front, so don't take where it is lying as gospel but this is roughly where we expected to be. in the southern side, a lot of dry weather and sunshine, and on the northern side also a lot of dry weather and sunshine. but windy, especially across northern ireland and western scotland with gusts of 48 to 45 mph. on the other side of the weatherfront, note how 48 to 45 mph. on the other side of the weather front, note how fresher it will look and feel, whereas as we head south it still will be humid with the temperature climbing up to about 29 degrees. as we had from wednesday into thursday we still have this weather front making its slow descent southward and eastward. we could see some thunderstorms in the far south—east during the course of the night and if we do we will have remnants in the morning clearing through the day put a lot of dry weather around. a fair bit of sunshine. then we have another weather front coming in to the

north—west. that is introducing thicker cloud and some rain. fresher conditions in the north and west, and still quite muggy as we push further south with temperatures not quite as high. we are looking at 24, where we were looking at 20 is our top temperature. we could have some overnight showers on friday which will play quickly, weak weather front sinking south taking the band of cloud and the odd shower and to the north, some brighter skies with temperatures between 14 and 26 degrees. i was not kidding and i said it is very changeable. you never cared, it is always a spot on. thank you very much indeed. thanks. ., , on. thank you very much indeed. thanks. . , , thanks. the weather is very important — thanks. the weather is very important for _ thanks. the weather is very important for something i thanks. the weather is very i important for something major happening next monday. it's taken half a century — but nasa is one step closer to putting humans back on the moon, after giving the go—ahead to the launch of a major test flight on monday.

confirmed! the agency's artemis mission is being heralded as the start of a new era of space exploration — as our science editor, rebecca morelle explains. after a 50—year gap, we're 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 on board. 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 nerve—racking. three, two, one... once those engines and rocket boosters ignite, there's no stopping it. the rocket thunders away from the earth, eventually reaching speeds of nearly 25,000 miles — or 40,000 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 240,000 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 enters a much larger orbit, swinging more than 65,000 kilometres — about 40,000 miles — beyond the moon. that's further than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. during the several weeks orion 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, the service module — which has provided power, propulsion and support systems — isn't needed any more, and detaches. only the crew capsule is left behind. 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 it speeds through the atmosphere, and the temperature rises to nearly 3,000 degrees celsius. as it decelerates and breaks through the sound barrier, a sonic boom announces its arrival. boom! a series of parachutes open, massively slowing it down, before splash—down in the pacific ocean.

we'rejoined now by drjenifer millard, an extragalactic astronomer and co—host of the awesome astronomy podcast. very well walk —— very warm welcome. this marks the start of our return to the moon. how excited on a scale of one to ten are you?— of one to ten are you? about 12 billion! i am _ of one to ten are you? about 12 billion! i am so _ of one to ten are you? about 12 billion! i am so excited - of one to ten are you? about 12j billion! i am so excited because of one to ten are you? about 12 i billion! i am so excited because in my lifetime, and in many people's lifetime while working in the space industry right now, we have not gone beyond our bit. we have is the hubble telescope, been to the iss, and that is great, watching the iss fly overhead is a really bright star, one of my favourite things to do at night. there isjust star, one of my favourite things to do at night. there is just something else about going to the moon. it is another level of complexity, another level of danger and it is so far

to go beyond our planetary system and head off to mars, for example, we need to practice long duration and that is what we have been focusing on for the last decade. that is why the international space station in particular recently has been so critical. we have been seeing help to —— practising how to live and work in space for six months or longer and this skill set is critical. with artemis we are not just going back to the moon, but we are staying there. we will be combining this long distance exploration with long duration exploration with long duration exploration which is exactly what we need for that next great leap into human exploration, which is mars, thatis human exploration, which is mars, that is the ultimate goal of artemis. ., ., , ., artemis. there are no people on board this _ artemis. there are no people on board this time _ artemis. there are no people on board this time but _ artemis. there are no people on board this time but we _ artemis. there are no people on board this time but we do i artemis. there are no people on board this time but we do have l artemis. there are no people on i board this time but we do have shaun the sheep stockier we do! one small step for humans and one giant leap

good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. it's been confirmed the next stage of the elizabeth line will open on november the 6th. trains will begin running directly from reading and heathrow all the way to abbey wood. and from shenfield through to paddington. bond street station is also due to open by november. today's the last day you can use a hosepipe to water your garden or wash your car, if you're a thames water customer. a hosepipe ban comes in tomorrow. but some places including golf courses, and garden centres are exempt. it comes after a long period of dry weather, which has left water reserves low. in the last six months, we've only had 65% of the normal rainfall. that's why water resources are running short. and in thames water's area, we get most of our water from rivers and from ground water, and we rely on the rainfall to replenish that. and if that rainfall doesn't come, then we find ourselves in situations like this.

notting hill carnival finally returns this weekend for the first time in three years. expect floats, dancing and street food. one person who's been busy preparing for its comeback is clary salandy, who makes carnival costumes. every year we get our inspiration from things that are current. we want our theme to be relevant. so this year, a time to remember is a tribute to our history and our heritage and how carnival came to be. but it's also very much a tribute to the skills and the contribution made by all the people who didn't make it through the last three years. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking. there are minor delays on the elizabeth line. a good service on all other lines. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, there's lots of dry weather in the forecast across the capital again as we head through the rest of this week. it will be cloudy at times and the air is certainly feeling

with a northerly breeze, and certainly feeling fresher with a north—easterly winds as we head into the bank holiday weekend. head to our website for more stories, including why more than half a million learner drivers are waiting to take their test. that's it. now it's back to breakfast. good morning, welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and jon kay. our headlines today. a nine—year—old girl has been shot dead in liverpool overnight — the gunman is on the run. andy gilad of the scene. we cross to him in a moment. the charity age uk tells bbc breakfast that people will be forced to put their lives at risk

the choices people will have to make are hugely stark, they're going to be extremely difficult. a lot of older people will be really concerned about how they're going to pay for their heating costs. and so people may take decisions like not turning the heating on as much as they would need, or turning it off altogether, or skipping meals. and those all have really serious ramifications for people's health and well— being. people in that position start to turn their heating down or turn it off, and they could be putting their health in real danger, potentially putting even their life in danger. so what is being done to support older people? the government has said that an extra £300 will be added to the winter fuel payment, the annual lump sum given every autumn. that's on top of the £400 all households in england, scotland and wales will receive to help pay rising fuel bills. for those on disability benefit, the government has

confirmed that £150 cost of living payments will start to be made from 20th september, with the majority of payments coming in at the start of october. that's to help people like rachael tomlinson. she has ms and can't work due to her disability. she told us how worried she is by her energy bills going up. and it's just terrifying. i just... it's... she sighs. i can't describe it, really, because it's just so awful to think of how we're going to live, how we're going to... you know, we aren't heating the house at the moment, but i dread to think what's going to happen when i have to start turning radiators on and things like that. er... the boiler's only on when i need a shower or something like that, so... it's, er... yeah, it's scary stuff.

so many people share those concerns. how high could bills go this winter? it seems like every day the warnings are there are going to get higher and higher? i are there are going to get higher and higher?— are there are going to get higher and hither? ., �* . ., , and higher? i don't have any good news on that _ and higher? i don't have any good news on that front. _ well, all of this comes as we await friday's energy price cap announcement. that will set the maximum amount suppliers can charge households in england, scotland and wales for average gas and electricity use. remember, if you use more than the average amount of energy, you'll pay more. it is not an absolute ceiling on your bills. latest estimates suggest the typical household energy bill will now reach £3,554 a year from october, just as we start using the heating more and more, rising to £4,650 injanuary — nearly £300 higher than previous forecasts.

it isa it is a worrying time for money. it is notjust for households but businesses as well. and this is the big thing that is driving inflation — the rise in average prices for everyday goods and services. the investment bank, citi, suggesting that could reach 18% or higher next year. it currently stands at 10.1%, the highest it's been for 40 years. pressure on households from all sides. ben, thank you very much indeed. friday is the big day with the price cap announcement. brute indeed. friday is the big day with the price cap announcement. we will have the details _ the price cap announcement. we will have the details on _ the price cap announcement. we will have the details on friday. _ an emergency planning exercise to help the uk prepare for gas shortages, has been extended this year. the annual tests — which play out scenarios such as electricity rationing — will last four days rather than the usual two. let's talk more about this with our political correspondent, ione wells.

eastwards, weakening. still quite showery but not as prolific as this morning. the odd shower left in northern ireland, north—west ended, wales, down to the south—west and the channel islands, we are not immune to those showers. further east, it will be brighter. you can see the weakening weather front moving east, taking its showers with it. you will see some in wales and the midlands. a few getting into the southeast, eastern england and eastern scotland. they are showers, so we will not all see them. towards the west it will brighten up. western scotland and northern ireland. it is going to be warm and humid. tonight we hang on to the humidity for most. another weather front coming in. it will bring heavy and persistent rain. low cloud, most and persistent rain. low cloud, most and mark again. it will be clearer and mark again. it will be clearer and fresher in northern ireland behind this weather front. it clears

is rising in popularity. smaller silver canisters holding around eight grams of nitrous oxide are being swapped to a super—sized version, which holds around 80 times the size. super—sized versions are riskier, experts say, because they can lead to people using higher quantities. with the larger canisters, people don't know how much gas is in there, so it could be that we see an increase in the number of these more serious cases. kerry—anne knows the risk of nitrous oxide all too well. she used the larger canisters — but only sparingly. i did try them, but they wasn't for me because it was just that i want to know how much i'm doing. i want to see how much i'm doing. for her, it was prolonged use of the smaller canisters that had life—changing effects. maybe in a week i would, like, do about 600 canisters. like, for the next week i wouldn't be able to do nothing. i'd be sleeping 12—plus hours, i'd be vomiting, i'd be having sweats. i wouldn't eat, i couldn't drink water.

it led to kerry—anne being hospitalised. and ijust couldn't walk. i couldn't use my hands. she currently has no sensation in her legs. i can't do nothing for myself at the moment. ican't... it's not like i can get up and walk out my house, which is why i have my dad back. obviously i have to use a commode, so he changes that and he does, like, literally everything for me. demand for super—sized canisters is often driven by social media. this man began selling them online during the pandemic. and how easy was it to find customers through social media? 0h... a walk in the park. it's the word of mouth. i had people running it 24/7. so you know the actual effects it could have on the body — so how can you still, like, justify selling it to them? it's dangerous. i don't think people should do it, but as long as they do... - ..i'm going to sell it. selling nos for its psychoactive use is against the law — but possession of a larger canister isn't illegal. a government—commissioned review is currently looking at whetherfurther action is needed.

some believe the authorities should take nitrous oxide more seriously. it's not one of the priorities, to be honest, because police are doing other things — they are looking at hard drugs and violent crime. we've got constraints of resources, as well. kerry—anne has used her experience to warn others of the dangers of nos — posting videos on tiktok. i posted the first video, and that video kind ofjust went viral. since i've spoken out, i've had so many messages from people asking me for advice. ijust want to help others. that report was from kash jones. it featured harry sumnall, a professor in substance use from liverpooljohn moores university. and waheed saleem, former deputy police and crime commissioner for the west midlands. both join us now.

travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking. now the weather with elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. well, there's lots of dry weather in the forecast across the capital again as we head through the rest of this week. it will be cloudy at times and the air is certainly feeling very warm and humid before we see fresher—feeling conditions take over as we head into the bank holiday weekend. now, this morning, well, it's a very mild start to the day — temperatures didn't drop below the mid—teens for many in celsius last night. there will be quite a bit of cloud around this morning, but we're seeing some brighter spells emerge, and we should see some sunny spells, too — but, again, the cloud could thicken from the west as we head into the afternoon. the breeze is a bit lighter than it was yesterday. top temperatures in the best of any brightness — and possibly some sunshine — could get as high as 26, maybe even 27 degrees celsius. now, through this evening and overnight, again, there's plenty of cloud,

a few clearer spells. it should stay dry — or mostly dry — and temperatures will hold in the mid to the high teens so, again, it's a very mild start to the day on wednesday. and wednesday could even be a touch warmer in the best of any sunshine that we could see through the afternoon. watch out for one or two showers here and there, but certainly most places staying dry. by the time we get to thursday, it's a little cooler with a northerly breeze, and certainly feeling fresher with a northeasterly winds as we head into the bank holiday weekend. head to our website for more stories — including why so many learner drivers are waiting to take their test. that's it for now. i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and tina daheley. this week, we'll get confirmation of the latest energy price cap — the amount households can be charged for average gas and electricity use. the latest estimates suggest the typical bill will go

above £3,500 a year from october. and up again potentially in the new year. today, the charity age uk says older people could be forced to choose between heating and eating. let's speak now to philippe commaret, managing director of customers at the energy firm edf. thank you forjoining us on the programme. shall we start with that warning from age uk, they say the situation is dire, it is a tragedy that people willjust not survive, some of them, this winter. do you agree with that assessment? i some of them, this winter. do you agree with that assessment? i fully a . ree with agree with that assessment? i fully agree with the _ agree with that assessment? i fully agree with the assessment. - agree with that assessment? i fully agree with the assessment. in - agree with that assessment? i fully agree with the assessment. in fact, when you look at the figures, more than half of uk households will be in fuel poverty by january,

than half of uk households will be in fuel poverty byjanuary, meaning they will have to spend what than 10% of their disposable income on their energy bill.— their energy bill. people watching this programme _ their energy bill. people watching this programme this _ their energy bill. people watching this programme this morning - their energy bill. people watching | this programme this morning we'll see headlines constantly about the profits that energy companies are making, especially at the moment. they will be asking, what can you as companies do to help them? yes, they will be asking, what can you as companies do to help them?- companies do to help them? yes, i think we need _ companies do to help them? yes, i think we need to _ companies do to help them? yes, i think we need to draw _ companies do to help them? yes, i think we need to draw a _ companies do to help them? yes, i think we need to draw a line - companies do to help them? yes, i l think we need to draw a line between the oil and gas companies that are making profits and the energy suppliers that are buying them on the wholesale market, the gas and electricity, to provide gas and electricity, to provide gas and electricity to their customers. we have seen over the last 12 months, 30 of the energy suppliers have gone bust. the type of support we can provide to our customers and what we are announcing today is a campaign to reach 100,000 of our customers, the most in need, to reduce their cost and help them but also to make sure they are accessing all of the available financial support available financial support available for them.- available financial support available for them. ., ., . available for them. how do you help them? what — available for them. how do you help them? what does _ available for them. how do you help

them? what does that _ available for them. how do you help them? what does that mean - available for them. how do you help them? what does that mean in - them? what does that mean in practical terms? there are lots of people out there who say they cannot pat’- people out there who say they cannot pay. many others say i'm just not going to. i am refusing to pay. what can you say to them, both groups? what we have designed is a tailored approach for each of our customers in order to identify how we can help our customers to reduce their consumption. we have developed a free app to enable our customers to get a grip on their consumption to better understand it. and to achieve without any intrusive action, reductions on their bills. what we also do is make sure that customers have the affordability solutions. what we see is that with the rise of the wholesale market, which is due to the weaponising of gas and electricity by russia, our customers, some of them will not be able to pay their bills. that is why we need further support from the government. we need further support from the government-— we need further support from the government. let's talk about help from the government. _

government. let's talk about help from the government. ministers l government. let's talk about help - from the government. ministers would say they have already announced a number of measures. we now wait for a new prime minister next month to see what further help may or may not be delivered. a lot of customers, a lot of our viewers, are frustrated they are having to wait to find out what that health might be. do you share those frustrations, is it difficult for you not having a new prime minister in place right now? what is very clear is that at the time we are seeing a number of customers, rise in the number. definitely my team, myself, we are seeing everyday that are struggling and are under stress under the perspective of paying bills in the winter. obviously we are very keen to work with the next prime minister as soon as they will be appointed in order to find a solution and to access all the solutions down the table. from the point of view of edf

we advocate short—term solutions to help customers pay their bill but also long—term solutions for clinical such as insulating uk households.— clinical such as insulating uk households. you are a french company. _ households. you are a french company. and _ households. you are a french company, and in _ households. you are a french company, and in france - households. you are a french company, and in france at. households. you are a french | company, and in france at the government is effectively nationalising edf, nationalising your company. that is the kind of long—term solution they have come up with, and a lot of people in the uk look at these big profits that energy companies in the uk have announced and say, why don't we do that here? i would be really interested to hear from you on what you think of that idea about potentially nationalising or politely renationalising some of the uk energy firms. politely renationalising some of the uk energy firms— uk energy firms. nationalising the uk energy firms. nationalising the uk suppliers _ uk energy firms. nationalising the uk suppliers is _ uk energy firms. nationalising the uk suppliers is just _ uk energy firms. nationalising the uk suppliers is just transferring i uk suppliers is just transferring the cost of the electricity and gas to the taxpayers. the reason for the french government, i think, to have

nationalised edf in france is to provide you tate —— support in order for the french state to be suffering on the production of its electricity and that is something that has to be considered obviously for the uk in order to build, considered obviously for the uk in orderto build, in considered obviously for the uk in order to build, in the uk, more renewable and nuclear in order to be sustainable in the future. it is sustainable in the future. it is ri . ht, sustainable in the future. it is riuht, it sustainable in the future. it is right. it is _ sustainable in the future. it is right, it is interesting that a lot of brits will look across the channel and see that the french bills will be lower in the year ahead and think,, nationalisation, it is complicated, it is expensive for taxpayers, it is complicated, it is expensive fortaxpayers, but it is complicated, it is expensive for taxpayers, but at least maybe in the short—term it keeps our bills down. can you understand why that might be attractive to some people? i understand it can be attractive. the uk has decided until now not to reduce the rise of the cost of the bills, but rather to provide support to the customers in order to pay for their bills, the £400 announced in

may. what we can consider today is that obviously this support is £a00, it is much too low compared to the rise of the energy bills so that is the reason we need further support from the government. it is from the government. it is interesting, _ from the government. it is interesting, we _ from the government. it is interesting, we are - from the government. it is interesting, we are also i from the government. it is interesting, we are also reporting this morning that this annual emergency test that happens to see how the uk is able to deal with a cut in energy supplies is being extended. it is normally two days, it will be a four day exercise to see whether we can deal with a drop in supply, potential blackouts, that kind of thing. should we be concerned to hear that it has got to that stage? concerned to hear that it has got to that state? ~ . concerned to hear that it has got to that stage?— that stage? what i can say is that when i that stage? what i can say is that when i look _ that stage? what i can say is that when i look at _ that stage? what i can say is that when i look at the _ that stage? what i can say is that when i look at the generation - when i look at the generation business in edf, we are doing everything we can to generate in the winter safe energy to keep the lights on. i am very proud of the team is doing thisjob in generation today. do team is doing this 'ob in generation toda . ,, , today. do you think the lights will sta on? today. do you think the lights will

new manager erik ten hag. the question— new manager erik ten hag. the question for liverpool is where they no, question for liverpool is where they go. with— question for liverpool is where they go, with their injury problems. we want glazers out, - say we want glazers out! thousands of manchester united fans protested against the club's owners before kick—off. after two woeful defeats, it was no surprise that they'd turn up the volume on their discontent. many more thousands, though, were simply fearful of what might happen on the pitch. liverpool beat them 5—0 at old trafford last season. united showed off their new signing casemiro before kick off — he says he's come to win the premier league. just winning a match would be a start for united. jadon sancho was everything that united haven't been for a while — cool, composed and clinical. liverpool were playing the blame game afterjust15 minutes. they hadn't won this season, either, and needed their keeper alisson at full stretch to stop them falling further behind. united's second came soon after the break — marcus rashford stayed onside and was on target. he'd been preferred to cristiano ronaldo up front.

the new manager celebrated the goal — and perhaps his own team selection. they needed that, as well, because liverpool pulled a goal back. mo salah scored five times against united last season — but this time it was for a losing cause. a match that started with those united demonstrations ended with their celebrations. the first win, of course, brings a lot ofjoy. it is clear. we had a difficult start, and i'm really happy — especially for the fans — that we bring them this victory. and of course, for them, it's really important to bring the victory over liverpool — it's clear. i don't have a lot of arguments. we lost 2—1, so it's not that i lost the game, but i think, erm, on another day with more conviction about what we are doing, we can turn it around. so, it's not important if they are 1—0 up or 2—0 up, but for today, we couldn't do it. you can just feel that the mood has really lifted here, and it's also a result that has

lifted united above liverpool in the table — that will make the result all the sweeter for united's fans. as for liverpool supporters, well, they're the ones that are still waiting for their first win of the season. olly foster, bbc news, old trafford. lift off for erik ten hag. manchester united at southampton next. plenty of good wishes for england's all time women's goalscorer ellen white this morning, after she announed she's retiring from football. the 33—year—old scored 52 goals for the lionesses including two en route to winning the euros last month. white thanked those who have supported her as she annnounced the news in a social media post, saying she was looking forward to spending more time with her husband, who she called her "greatest supporter". in cricket's hundred, defending champions southern brave kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds, thrashing welsh fire by nine wickets. tim david sealed victory with 18 balls to spare, after his brave team—mate paul stirling had hit an unbeaten 7a. and all that after bowler

george garton took three wickets in the first seven balls, with welsh fire eventually recovering to post 129—8. southern brave eased to the target though, ending fire's hopes of progressing. i should mention some tennis. this time last year emma raducanu was beginning qualifying for the us open. we'll know what happened is that you are only a year ago? that incredible story. she is obviously through to the first round proper this year, harriet dart, kyle edmund, several players getting going when the us open starts but a number of british players trying to get to week one. four days of qualifying that gets under way today and we have jay clarke and liam broady their best. so many good british success stories at wimbledon, so trying to translate that at the us open. whether anyone can do what emma raducanu did is a question stocking it must give a

boost 12 months on. it she could do it, why can't they? it is a phenomenal story, once—in—a—lifetime, let's face it but it has galvanised and energised british tennis and it will be fascinated to see how many of these players can get themselves into the first round with some of the top players, as well. first round with some of the top players. as well-— first round with some of the top players, as well. fingers crossed that some _ players, as well. fingers crossed that some of _ players, as well. fingers crossed that some of them _ players, as well. fingers crossed that some of them do. _ players, as well. fingers crossed that some of them do. wouldn'tl players, as well. fingers crossed - that some of them do. wouldn't that be treat. that some of them do. wouldn't that be great. hopeful. _ that some of them do. wouldn't that be great. hopeful. thank— that some of them do. wouldn't that be great. hopeful. thank you. - it may not be the most glamorous of locations — but a sewage works in bradford is among the inspirations for a new exhibition by acclaimed ian beesley. sewage plant in bradford not that... 7 i sewage plant in bradford not that... 2 ~ ., he is an internationally acclaimed photographer and an exhibition of his work featuring hundreds of images taken across the bradford district and beyond since the 19705. cathy killick�*s been along to see it and him.

ta ken over a as—year career. it's astonishing to see just how much things have changed. but ian beesley�*s touching and humane photographs — taken mainly in the north — remind us not only of what's been lost, but also the human spirit that lives on. ididn't do i didn't do very well at school and i didn't do very well at school and i ended up working in a mill for a while, which i hated. then i worked in a foundry, which i did like, but i was such a weakling. i got fired, so i ended up working at the local sewage works. the men who i were working with kept going, said, "you can't stay here." you must find something you're interested in and get an apprenticeship. and i bought a camera. 60,000 pictures later, a sublime selection is now on show. wow. tell me about this one. well, i was artist in residence at a psychiatric hospital.

and we were looking at photographs in the magazine when this lady, dolly, picked it up and held this picture to herface and started crying. "i had a baby. i had a baby." was very distressed. and the director of the ward told me that she was one of the unfortunate women that was incarcerated for having an illegitimate child when she was young. what a tragedy in one photo. a great photographer, paul strand, said everything you ever need to photograph is in one mile of your doorstep. i've never been interested in sort of celebrity or catastrophe or, you know, the exotic. i've just been interested in what's around me. oh, now, then, what have we got here, then? this looks interesting. yeah, it's a chip shop in bradford, which i used to walk past, and i was always interested in photographing it, and i went to photograph it, and the people inside came out

and said, "be lovely to be photographed," because they were retiring the following week. why do you like it so much? it's sort of a sense of defiance you know, they knocked down all the street, but the chip shop stays. the show is aptly called life a life's work, as well as a loving record of lives lived. i doubt that the sewage plant would look beautiful, but it did.— look beautiful, but it did. and... you are not _ look beautiful, but it did. and... you are not sure. _ look beautiful, but it did. and... you are not sure. i'm _ look beautiful, but it did. and... you are not sure. i'm not. - look beautiful, but it did. and... you are not sure. i'm not. i'm i you are not sure. i'm not. i'm t in: you are not sure. i'm not. i'm trying to — you are not sure. i'm not. i'm trying to find _ you are not sure. i'm not. i'm trying to find a _ you are not sure. i'm not. i'm trying to find a way _ you are not sure. i'm not. i'm trying to find a way to - you are not sure. i'm not. i'm trying to find a way to link - you are not sure. i'm not. i'm trying to find a way to link to l trying to find a way to link to carol, but with the word sewage... i will leave that there. carol, but with the word sewage. .. i will leave that there.— will leave that there. good luck! instead i will _ will leave that there. good luck! instead i will mention _ will leave that there. good luck! instead i will mention the - will leave that there. good luck! instead i will mention the word | instead i will mention the word muqqy instead i will mention the word muggy that you mentioned earlier. top of the class! you are right laughter time ago i was a broken woman laughter— time ago i was a broken woman for a moment. _ time ago i was a broken woman for a moment, telling me all kinds of things— moment, telling me all kinds of things about my weather forecast. moving _ things about my weather forecast. moving on — things about my weather forecast. moving on. and then he started the

day, some low cloud, some coastal and hill fog and mist around, as well, and as well as all of that we are looking at some showers and, as tina rightly said, today will also be warm and humid following on from a warm and humid night. what is happening is we have this weather front coming in from the west, moving eastwards, just releasing some showers and it will continue to weaken through the day. they may have another one coming up from the south—west later. you can see where we have the rain at the moment, a few showers dotted around, and also quite a bit of cloud around first thing. i will weather front will continue to push from the west to the east, you can see how fragmented it is, so the showers were once again be hit and miss. some of the cloud will break up, as well, but later the lion's share of the sunshine will be across western scotland and northern ireland and here is the first hint of a second front coming up from the south—west. temperatures to day 15 in lerwick,

23 in newcastle, 21 in belfast but our top temperature in norwich at 27. through this evening and overnight, when isn't coming from the south—west makes it into wales, pushes into northern england and the midlands and parts of scotland. at times the rain it will be heavy and persistent in this and you can see how it drapes also in across south—west england. a lot of low cloud, hill fog and some coastal fog and mist associated with this, but it will clear northern ireland, and he will have clear skies and it will be fresher. for the rest of us, another night, particularly so across england and wales. heading into wednesday, a right old messy picture, as you can see. various weather fronts crossing us, low pressure close by to the north—west, so across northern ireland and western scotland it will be noticeably windy, increasingly so as we go through the day. a wet front in the north which is north, that

were different in england and wales continue to produce some rain, but on either side of that you can see where we are expecting sunshine. still muggy in the south—east and feeling hot with highs of 29 degrees in norwich, but on the other side of the weatherfront it in norwich, but on the other side of the weather front it will feel fresher and that bit cooler. overnight wednesday into thursday, we could see a few thunderstorms in the far south—east. if we do they will create through the course of their stay, then a lot of dry weather but a new front coming in across the north and west will introduce more rain and temperatures down a little bit, feeling a little more comfortable. 15 to 20 in the northern half of the country and 20 to 24 northern half of the country and 20 to 2a as we pushed further south. into thursday night and friday we can also see a few showers in the south—east. another weather front moving south—eastwards will bring in a few showers but it is the weekend, the north of the country more prone

to seeing rain or showers. for friday and including the weekend, northern areas should see rain and southern areas dry with more sunshine. southern areas dry with more sunshine-— southern areas dry with more sunshine. . ,, . m sunshine. thank you so much. summer is cliniain sunshine. thank you so much. summer is clinging on- — sunshine. thank you so much. summer is clinging on- we _ sunshine. thank you so much. summer is clinging on. we will— sunshine. thank you so much. summer is clinging on. we will take _ sunshine. thank you so much. summer is clinging on. we will take it, - is clinging on. we will take it, especially _ is clinging on. we will take it, especially in _ is clinging on. we will take it, especially in the _ is clinging on. we will take it, especially in the run-up - is clinging on. we will take it, especially in the run-up to . is clinging on. we will take it, | especially in the run-up to the especially in the run—up to the weekend. it especially in the run-up to the weekend. . especially in the run-up to the weekend-— especially in the run-up to the weekend. , ,, . , weekend. it feels like autumn is under way. _ weekend. it feels like autumn is underway. in — weekend. it feels like autumn is under way, in the _ weekend. it feels like autumn is under way, in the air. _ and for television lovers that can only mean one thing — a gritty cop drama is about to light up our screens. enter ridley — the new itv detective show starring adrian dunbar and bronagh waugh. let's take a look. bronagh waugh joins us now. bronagh waughjoins us now. we are excited about this. something to get stuck into. what can we expect? ridley is about a retired crime

detective played by adrian dunbar and i can his protege who takes over, di carol farman, and i persuade him out of retirement to come back as a consultant which happens at one is a jazz singer and owns a jazz club so there is music thrown in, as well so it is quite different and we are coining it northern noir. there are beautiful shots of lancashire, the noise and the dales, so it shows off the north to its best. it the dales, so it shows off the north to its best. . . . the dales, so it shows off the north to its best-— to its best. it is as much about the relationship _ to its best. it is as much about the relationship between _ to its best. it is as much about the relationship between you - to its best. it is as much about the relationship between you and - relationship between you and adrian's character.— relationship between you and adrian's character. that is what we wanted to do _ adrian's character. that is what we wanted to do stop _ adrian's character. that is what we wanted to do stop paul— adrian's character. that is what we wanted to do stop paul matthew. wanted to do stop paul matthew thomson, the writer, wanted to focus on ridley and carol's relationship, their personal lives and their relationship together so hopefully the audience will really get to know both of us and kind of invest in them and i think when you get to

1096 of their disposable income to pay for their energy bill. they know what they're _ pay for their energy bill. they know what they're talking _ pay for their energy bill. they know what they're talking about. - pay for their energy bill. they know what they're talking about. this - pay for their energy bill. they know what they're talking about. this is . what they're talking about. this is one of the big five energy suppliers to uk households. and they also said that 30% increase they have seen in calls for people struggling to pay their bills just since the start of their bills just since the start of the year. they are basing their forecast on some really hard knowledge of the market as it currently stands. 50 knowledge of the market as it currently stands.— knowledge of the market as it currently stands. knowledge of the market as it currentl stands. . , , currently stands. so what support is out there? what _ currently stands. so what support is out there? what is _ currently stands. so what support is out there? what is available - currently stands. so what support is out there? what is available for- out there? what is available for people who are struggling? it is out there? what is available for people who are struggling? it is a ve tood people who are struggling? it is a very good question. _ people who are struggling? it is a very good question. one - people who are struggling? it is a very good question. one of - people who are struggling? it is a very good question. one of the i people who are struggling? it is a very good question. one of the big concern is around all the people having to make choices like heating or eating. the government have told us on that front an extra £300 will be added to the winter fuel payments, that is the annual lump sum that people get every autumn. that is on top of the £400 that goes to all households, notjust people who are receiving a pension, but all households in england, scotland and wales, will get £1l00. for those on

disability benefits, £150 in cost of living payments will start to be made from the set —— 20th of september, and most of those payments will start coming into people at the start of october. that specific payment is to help people like rachel tomlinson, who has ms, a disability which means she cannot work. she has been telling us how worried she is. and it's just terrifying. i just... it's... she sighs. i can't describe it, really, because it's just so awful to think of how we're going to live, how we're going to... you know, we aren't heating the house at the moment, but i dread to think what's going to happen when i have to start turning radiators on and things like that. er... the boiler's only on when i need a shower or something like that, so... it's, er... yeah, it's scary stuff. a lot of people scared by it. what is the latest we know about her high

bills could get this winter? well, we get the new price cap level on friday. that is when the announcement will be made. that will set the maximum that energy suppliers can charge households in england, scotland and wales, for the average amount of energy use. if your household pays more than average, you will pay more than that. it is an apps —— it is not an absolute cap on bills. the typical household energy bill will reach £3554 a year from october. just at the point at which we start turning on the heating and using more energy. it is expected to rise even further in january to energy. it is expected to rise even further injanuary to 4600. every time we talk about this cast estimate goes higher. that is £300 higher than the previous forecast. so, it is notjust having a direct effect on people's budgets. it is also driving inflation. that is the rise in average prices for everyday

goods and services. of course, it cost businesses more to keep the lights on, keep the heating on, to transport goods. that feeds into the prices we pay. so much so, the investment bank, citibank, is now forecasting inflation could reach 18% or higher next year. currently stands at 10.1%. that is already the highest it has been for 40 years. these estimates are just going up every week. mind blowing numbers? yes. they are adjusting it based on the data they get, the trends they are seeing at the wholesale markets. that's why people may think, hang on, you gave us a different figure a couple of weeks ago. it is because it is all based on the information coming in and the trends that people are saying. and the fact that energy prices are going up, not plateauing, not going down. thank you very much indeed. an emergency planning exercise to help the uk prepare for gas shortages has been extended this year. the annual tests —

which play out scenarios such as electricity rationing — will last four days rather than the usual two. let's talk more about this with our political correspondent, lone wells. lone, how significant is this? we just heard ben talking about more than 50% of households really struggling? than 5096 of households really struggling?— than 5096 of households really stru~lint?~ , struggling? well, as you say, this comes in the _ struggling? well, as you say, this comes in the context _ struggling? well, as you say, this comes in the context of _ struggling? well, as you say, this comes in the context of people i comes in the context of people really— comes in the context of people really struggling with their bills. one of— really struggling with their bills. one of the reasons we know that bills are — one of the reasons we know that bills are so — one of the reasons we know that bills are so high is because of wholesale gas prices, because of international gas prices, so there are big _ international gas prices, so there are big questions about our energy supply— are big questions about our energy supply and — are big questions about our energy supply and how secure it is. the two things— supply and how secure it is. the two things we _ supply and how secure it is. the two things we know, one is that this emergency exercise planning, war gaming _ emergency exercise planning, war gaming scenarios like energy rationing, it has been extended from two days— rationing, it has been extended from two days to — rationing, it has been extended from two days to four. we also know that

good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. it's been confirmed the next stage of the elizabeth line will open on november the 6th. at the moment it's running in three sections, but they're going to be linked up so you can travel from abbey wood to heathrow or reading without changing, and from shenfield through to paddington. bond street station is also due to open by november. today's the last day you can use a hosepipe to water your garden or wash your car, if you're a thames water customer. a hosepipe ban comes in tomorrow. but some places including golf courses, and garden centres are exempt. it comes after a long period of dry weather which has left water reserves low. in the last six months, we've only had 65% of the normal rainfall. that's why water resources are running short. and in thames water's area, we get most of our water from rivers and from ground water, and we rely on the rainfall to replenish that. and if that rainfall doesn't come, then we find ourselves

in situations like this. notting hill carnival finally returns this weekend for the first time in three years. expect floats, dancing and street food. one person who's been busy preparing for its comeback is clary salandy, who makes carnival costumes. every year we get our inspiration from things that are current. we want our theme to be relevant. so this year, a time to remember is a tribute to our history and our heritage and how carnival came to be. but it's also very much a tribute to the skills and the contribution made by all the people who didn't make it through the last three years. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking. there are minor delays on the metropolitan line between harrow on the hill and amersham/chesham/watford. now the weather with elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. well, there's lots of dry weather in the forecast across the capital

again as we head through the rest of this week. it will be cloudy at times and the air is certainly feeling very warm and humid before we see fresher—feeling conditions take over as we head into the bank holiday weekend. now, this morning, well, it's a very mild start to the day — temperatures didn't drop below the mid—teens for many in celsius last night. there will be quite a bit of cloud around this morning, but we're seeing some brighter spells emerge, and we should see some sunny spells, too — but, again, the cloud could thicken from the west as we head into the afternoon. the breeze is a bit lighter than it was yesterday. top temperatures in the best of any brightness — and possibly some sunshine — could get as high as 26, maybe even 27 degrees celsius. now, through this evening and overnight, again, there's plenty of cloud, a few clearer spells. it should stay dry — or mostly dry — and temperatures will hold in the mid to the high teens so, again, it's a very mild start to the day on wednesday. and wednesday could even be a touch warmer in the best of any sunshine that we could see through the afternoon. watch out for one or two showers here and there, but certainly

most places staying dry. by the time we get to thursday, it's a little cooler with a northerly breeze, and certainly feeling fresher with a northeasterly winds as we head into the bank holiday weekend. that's it for now, but there's lots more on our website and social media. i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and tina daheley. now, he may only be 31 years old, but the career of cricketer ben stokes can certainly be described as something of a roller—coaster. from the highs of his heroics in the world cup and the 2019 ashes — to the lows including a brawl outside a bristol bar — his journey has not been without controversy. much of that features in a candid new amazon documentary due out on friday. breakfast�*sjohn watson caught up with him ahead of its release. he's a leader by what he does.

wow. 250 up. no, no, no, no, no! the things that's happened to him. had a fight with him growing up. incredible highs. some really tough moments. 27—year—old man suffered a fractured eye socket. no hiding away from it. the video's ugly. ben stokes arrived at court... he did bring the game into disrepute. trouble follows him around. he was the story. it feels, doesn't it, that your life has been a series of pretty significant moments? you think about the world cup win, that ashes innings, what happened in bristol, and the court case that followed, and then potentially quitting the game altogether. it does read a bit like a hollywood script. it's no surprise that a hollywood director potentially wanted in on this one. it was important to me that i gave my everything that i possibly could and gave the best account of not only the moments that i'll

look back on with very fond memories, but also the things that have been a real challenge in my life up to now and be really open and honest as i possibly could. when did you know, firstly, that you weren't yourself, you weren't feeling right? i think what's probably important to say is that it wasn't a case of it was like a two—week thing or a couple—of—months thing. the whole thing was just a build up of... over a long, long period of time, maybe even like two, three or four years, i don't really know. but what i find i was doing is that i had a glass bottle and ijust kept on throwing emotions and my feelings into this bottle. the more i was doing of that, the more the bottle was filling up to eventually where it got too full and then just exploded. and that was me when i decided that, well, sort of... i reacted in the way i did and felt like, no, i need to get away from here. what was the lowest ebb, and how did it manifest itself? sort of...think, how long has it been happening for? but when you're sat on your toilet in your hotel room and you're having a massive panic attack

with your...with your manager on the end of the phone with his wife, and then eventually your wife trying to talk you through it and get you sort of coming out of that. just, yeah, i think that's probably when you know when...you know, things aren't, you know, quite right. and one of the things you said at the time you were most worried about is, by speaking up about your mental health, you feared you were going to bejudged. mm. yeah. and, like, you know, that's something now that i look back on and just go... i just didn't have to feel like that. unfortunately, that's how society is. i give off this bravado of being a big, you know, like, tough northern [ad with tattoos and stuff like that. and i was like, well, yeah, i am tough, butjust because i'm tough doesn't mean that i can't struggle mentally because these things, you can't pick and choose when they're going to hit you. it's not like a switch in your brain going, "today, i'm going to feel good, tomorrow i'm going to feel bad." and you took an indefinite break from the game. did you think that you might not

play cricket again? i mean, at the time, yeah. like, that's where i was at. like, ijust... it was a very, very tough time, as i allude to. and one of the more... probably the most powerful things about that, that i watched, that i notice from the film is when stuart broad was on camera and he said the same thing. he actually said that he could see me not playing again, and i'd never spoken to stuart about that through my time away. i spoke to stuart a lot through that period, but i'd never said the words to him like "i'm not sure if i'd ever play again", but the fact that he got that feeling through that time was like...almost an eye—opener to me at that time of, like, things were quite bad. there's the difference between good and great. as a cricketer — notjust myself — but we all know, as england players, that we've got more responsibility than just going out and performing on the field. young kids these days, they will look at us and they will want to play like us. they will want to do what we do because that's who they look up to.

they will also act in the way that we act on the field. if i was to shy away and not speak about anything that i had gone through, i don't think i would be given the responsibility that's been set on me at the moment to do that. so shying away from it is something i would never do. your wife talks about the highs and lows that you've been through in 11 years of marriage. what impact has it had on yourfamily? obviously, clare has a part in the film where she speaks about the bristol incident in particular. just over an hour ago, the cricketer ben stokes was found not guilty of affray. he's now coming out of the court to make a statement on the steps. the decision came after less than three hours... - the england cricketer was acquitted of affray... not guilty, cleared of the charge. as soon as i heard it, ijust... ijust sobbed, like, just with relief. the jury believed stokes' version of events and unanimously- found him not guilty. and she makes a great point. just because when the verdict came in, don't assume that that was just the end of that incident —

like, it wasn't. that was the end of one part and then the start of another part. and, you know... still, that bristol incident will still have an effect on my life, our lives, in the future. like, just an example — like, we're going to have to sit our kids down one day and tell them what that was all about. because when they get older, no doubt people are going to ask them about it, and we don't want them to be in the dark about that incident and then to come home and be like, "well, what's this thing that happened in bristol? " ben. morning. there's seemingly still a lot of anger there from you over what happened, and the coverage that came around what happened in bristol. why is that? is that the one—sided coverage, you feel, that came from the media, or is it the sense that perhaps at the time there was this feeling that...it was already predetermined, many thought you were guilty? well, yeah. i mean, there's a whole bunch of things with that, you know? i guess the...the toughest thing about being in that situation for me was like, obviously, i couldn't say a thing — wasn't allowed to come out

and publicly say anything because of, like, obviously it's an ongoing case and everything like that. but there was so much being said from other people on the whole thing who were able to say what they sort of wanted on stuff that they'd seen. and that was very frustrating to see and listen to. but, finally, i'm able to... ..dive into it a bit more from my point of view, but i've not... i've not used it as a, you know, like, justification parade or anything like that. i've just spoken about the effects that that whole ordeal had on me, had on my family, my friends, and i'vejust gone into it, a bit more detail for the first time... ..ever, really — publicly. i don't think i've ever been able to really speak about it publicly until now, really. this is the first time i can think of you speaking about it. so, yeah, it was nice to finally be able to speak about it from my point of view. and i think... i would say anger�*s probably the wrong word — what i would say is anger is when i start speaking about it and then start reminiscing all the things that have happened is when i might get a bit

emotional about it. but anger? don't know. how lonely was that ordeal at the time? er... when the trial finished, i was in training the next day. i then had a test match to play in, like, two days' time after it. so it wasjust like... it was mental. and being in the dressing room at the time was great because i was around people, you know. the hardest bit was when the day had finished and then i would go back to my room, i didn't want to leave the hotel, like, ijust sat on my bed. like, those periods for me was the most lonely and hard hit — was... that, for me, was the start of another part of that bristol thing. did you feel that you've given so much for your country and then here you were not perhaps being given the support that you felt you needed to do yourjob, and therefore you were ready to walk away from it? yeah, like, there was a lot of frustration and emotion back then around that whole period of bristol. you know, not being in the team, not being selected and stuff like that. it was like... i guess you made a great point there about it — it was like, i've given so much of my life and sacrificed so much

of my life to my career and to england, like... "jeez, like, show a bit, will you?" and here we are now. did you ever imagine, having gone through all of that, you would be captaining your country? ben chuckles. honestly, i never thought... being captain was never an aspiration of mine — of any team, really. ijust wanted to play cricket. i always thought that people are born to be captains and then some other people just happen to be presented with it, and i'm one of those people who just happened to be presented with it. when, you know, obviouslyjoe stepped down and the opportunity was there for me to take it, i was... i was actually quite annoyed at some of the press around it, because they linked england captaincy and my mental—health break with each other. and it felt like people were saying i couldn't do it because i decided to take a break for mental health last year. i was like, "what's that got to do with being england captain?" like, if anything, it shows... you can do anything, even if you have decided to take a mental—health break.

like, it's fine, like... that was quite frustrating for me to read that. someone who had gone through a bad patch, who had managed to work themselves back into a place where they felt they were able to play again, to then be presented with, you know, the biggest honour in cricket — to be england captain — that apparently i wasn't able to do it because i'd taken a mental—health break. it's just the stigma that's unfortunately attached with mental health, and it will always be until the narrative of it is changed, you know? and, ultimately, do you think your experiences will make you a better captain of your country? no, i don't think it'll make me a better captain. what i do think it has done is made me a lot more relatable to people because i've gone through highs — incredible highs — incredible lows on the field. so when i speak about good days, about bad days, i guess people can go, "oh, yeah, like, he actually knows what that's about. yeah, mate, i've been there. like, what's up? come on, let's have a chat."

you know what i mean? yeah. it's not going to make me a better captain. i think it'sjust going to make me a lot more relatable. fascinating hearing from him. he has so much to talk— fascinating hearing from him. he has so much to talk about. _ fascinating hearing from him. he has so much to talk about. i _ fascinating hearing from him. he has so much to talk about. i remember. so much to talk about. i remember covering the trial in bristol a few years ago. an extraordinary character, he has been through so much. ben stokes: phoenix from the ashes launches on prime video on friday. let's return to our main story — police are hunting for a gunman after a nine—year—old girl was shot dead in liverpool overnight. we can speak now to ian byrne, who's the mp for liverpool west derby, where this attack happened. thank you so much forjoining us this morning. devastating news that we are all coming to terms with. what is your response to the news we have woken up to today i think devastating is a good way of putting

sienna was like the main leader of the family — even in hunting, doing everything. she... at times i call her a survivor. people think that, actually, red was sienna's mother and i sort of like that idea because, like red, she had it all. lions are always showing love to each other. yeah. that's a story about lions — all the time. they show love amongst themselves. when you watch lions like we have, what do i see? i see the whole history in an instant — just goes straight through. they're, in a sense, a reflection of their past. and yet here they are living today. and i think that is the realjoy, is you feel so connected
