— nasa says it will go ahead and launch the most powerful rocket its ever built. good morning and welcome to bbc news. a manhunt is underway in liverpool after a nine—year—old girl was shot dead. police say an unknown man is reported to have fired a gun inside a house in the knotty ash area of the city at around ten o'clock last night. a man and a woman also suffered gunshot injuries in the attack. ian byrne is the labour mp for liverpool west derby, where this attack happened. he spoke to breakfast earlier this morning.

i think devastating is a good way of putting it. we are still going to process what we have heard overnight. it is absolutely devastating that a wholly innocent nine—year—old young girl has been sadly murdered and i think we are all struggling to process it is a community, in west derby in liverpool and across the country. i think as a moves forward i have heard as much as everybody else, really, we need to hearfrom heard as much as everybody else, really, we need to hear from the police about the circumstances but myjob police about the circumstances but my job today will police about the circumstances but myjob today will be speaking to the community, community leaders, speaking to police, trying to reassure the community and asking the community, do you know anything about the circumstances around this that will help the police, and give them as much information as possible to catch the perpetrator. henge them as much information as possible to catch the perpetrator.— to catch the perpetrator. have you had any of — to catch the perpetrator. have you had any of those _ to catch the perpetrator. have you had any of those conversations - had any of those conversations already? i had any of those conversations alread ? ., had any of those conversations alread ? . ., ., , ., already? i have had a couple of conversations _ already? i have had a couple of conversations with _ already? i have had a couple of conversations with communityl already? i have had a couple of - conversations with community leaders

this morning who are devastated and shocked by what has happened, all struggling to process the tragic events. from a really row perspective, 15 years to the day of the murder of reesjones in west derby to a has shocked everybody to the core —— from a really raw perspective. it the core -- from a really raw perspective-_ perspective. it is almost unbelievable _ perspective. it is almost unbelievable that - perspective. it is almost unbelievable that it - perspective. it is almost unbelievable that it is i perspective. it is almost. unbelievable that it is the anniversary of that happening to the day, sadly this is not an isolated incident, we have heard news of a stabbing overnight in the area, a shooting over the weekend, is this a problem in liverpool? it is something _ problem in liverpool? it is something we _ problem in liverpool? it is something we will - problem in liverpool? it is something we will be - problem in liverpool? it 3 something we will be working with the police, my role as the member of parliament for west derby will be speaking to the community, speaking to stakeholders, working with the police force and the local community, trying to reassure people and obviously catch the perpetrators, that is key, catching

who has done this heinous crime and making sure they spend the rest of their life behind bars. ian making sure they spend the rest of their life behind bars.— their life behind bars. ian burns, mp. we'll be joining our correspondent, andy gill live at the scene of the shooting in just a few minutes. a little earlier he spoke to the labour councillor harry doyle who represents the knotty ash ward and is also assistant mayor of liverpool. it's just absolutely abhorrent, and i think a lot of people in our community are waking up this morning to this news and just in utter disbelief. i live locally myself and, you know, the fact that a nine—year—old has lost her life and, as you say, 15 years yesterday since the city, we lost rhstones, you know, there's just absolutely no place for this sort of violence on our streets, particularly when we think of children and their lives ahead of them. lots of people all shook today in our community. police have said it's really important that people come forward, that the community comes forward to give any information that they have. is that something you support? 100%.

someone knows what happened last night. it might be one person, it might be more people. someone will have gone home last night in erratic behaviour, or we don't know, but somebody will know and they must come forward because we need justice for this little girl and our city needs to see this justice served as well. police have sometimes spoken about there being a wall of silence. quite often people do come forward, but the people who know about this, know who's done it, might be reluctant. there's a culture of not being a grass, of not informing. that's something the police will be keen to overcome and people should really search their consciences? well, when you think about the loss of life, particularly... any loss of life but particularly, as i say, a child, nine years of age, yearfour, going into yearfive, potentially, when you think about that, i think a lot of that goes out the window because people...

you should always come forward, you should always give any information that you've got to the police, but we need to see justice and the parents need to see justice for this little girl, and so i think all of that goes out the window. i know you and other community leaders are meeting the police later today. what will you be wanting to hearfrom the police? of course we want to see what action can be taken locally to ensure that our community feels, obviously, safe in their own homes, but that reassurance as well that the issue of knife crime in the city but also guns in our streets as well. you know, guns don't have a place on any street, never mind in our communities. action on that. a real educational piece, i suppose, as well, to ensure that things like this never happen again. assista nt assistant mayor of liverpool harry doyle speaking to our correspondents and ego who is at the scene of the

shooting. an absolutely horrific attack, such devastating news for people to wake up to —— speaking to our correspondent andy gill. what more police saying about the circumstances? we more police saying about the circumstances?— more police saying about the circumstances? ~ . , circumstances? we have been here since about — circumstances? we have been here since about 5am, _ circumstances? we have been here since about 5am, people _ circumstances? we have been here since about 5am, people beginning| circumstances? we have been here i since about 5am, people beginning to wake and come out of their houses and expressing shock and disbelief at what has happened. police say they were called at about ten o'clock last night because someone had fired a gun inside a house on a street behind me here. a nine—year—old girl was injured in the chest, critically injured, taken to hospital but died later. a man and woman were also injured in the same incident, they were taken to hospitalfor same incident, they were taken to hospital for treatment. the assistant chief constable of merseyside has described it as a tragic and truly shocking crime, saying no parent should have to suffer the loss of a child in these circumstances and the cowardly individual who does this does not

deserve to walk the streets. it happened on the 15th anniversary of the shooting of an innocent 11—year—old boy, rhys the shooting of an innocent 11—year—old boy, rhstones, shot deadin 11—year—old boy, rhstones, shot dead in the crossfire of gang warfare in the croxteth area of liverpool. it is a coincidence but it will be on people's mind. people express condolences on social media yesterday, saying how much they remembered rhys yesterday, saying how much they remembered rhstones. he was a big everton fan, of course. now a nine—year—old girl shot in liverpool and police, as you heard, want to overcome this culture of not grassing to the police. when rhys jones was murdered police said there was not a wall of silence, people came forward because people knew who had done it, but the problem most people did not come forward with hard evidence. yesterday we spoke to the police about a separate shooting on sunday of a 28—year—old woman and they made the point about this culture of not grassing to the

police, not informing, they are asking people to search their consciences in that case and in this case where a nine—year—old girl has been shot, to really come forward if they have information. an appealfor door bell footage, dash cam footage, private cctv that people may have. we expect police to hold a press conference later and we should get more details. conference later and we should get more details-— more details. that could all help the olice more details. that could all help the police in _ more details. that could all help the police in their— more details. that could all help the police in their search - more details. that could all help the police in their search for - more details. that could all help the police in their search for the | the police in their search for the person responsible. are there any more details about that manhunt yet? no, they have just said more details about that manhunt yet? no, they havejust said it more details about that manhunt yet? no, they have just said it was an unknown man who was in the property and fired the gun. the people in the property, it seems like it was the little girl and a man and a woman. we think the gunman is a separate individual, no word yet on how he

got here, where he went, whether he was with anyone else before or after the incident so these are all the details which we think police will tell us. we think they are holding a conference at the police headquarters, close to liverpool city centre, later.— city centre, later. thank you for that update. — city centre, later. thank you for that update, andy _ city centre, later. thank you for that update, andy gill— city centre, later. thank you for that update, andy gill in - city centre, later. thank you for i that update, andy gill in liverpool, we will bring back news conference when it happens. older people may be forced to decide between heating or eating this winter as energy bills soar — that's the warning from the charity age uk. to support older people, the government says 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.

this comes ahead of friday's energy price cap announcement, which will set the maximum amount suppliers can charge hoseholds in england, scotland and wales for their average energy use. —— can charge households. latest estimates suggest typical household energy bills will now reach £3554 a year from october. ahead of that announcement, philippe commaret from edf energy, one of the uk's major energy suppliers, issued this warning about fuel bills. in fact, when you look at the figures, without further support from the government, more than half of the uk households will be likely to be in fuel poverty injanuary, meaning they will have to spend more than 10% of their disposable income to pay for their energy. staying with energy, a regular emergency planning exercise to help the uk prepare for the possibility of a shortage of gas supplies has been doubled in size. potential scenarios including rationing electricity will be wargamed over four days,

rather than the usual two, as energy concerns gi’ow. a former executive at shell — now chief of executive of portugese energy giant galp — told bbc radio 4's today programme the government needs to move fast to secure energy security. i think government needs to move fast now, they really need to move fast. the european union is talking about reducing demand by 50%, driving the various countries across europe to do that. the uk needs to do similarly —— reducing demand by 15%. it needs to increase insulation, put in heat pumps, invest in the north sea, build renewables faster. this will take years to solve. our political correspondent ione wells is at westminster for us. the government says we should not panic over energy supplies this winter, yet it does the doubling of

the emergency planning exercise suggest that if not panicking we should at least be concerned? it's the government levelling with the public? the government levelling with the ublic? , ., , the government levelling with the ublic? , . ., , public? the government is certainly makin: public? the government is certainly making these _ public? the government is certainly making these preparations, - public? the government is certainly making these preparations, they . public? the government is certainly| making these preparations, they had stress this is something they always do, contingency planning for worst—case scenarios where they examine things like energy rationing, but i think you are right that this is clearly partly a response to the crisis we are in at the moment and this ongoing need, as we have heard, to try to secure more energy security for the uk. government ministers have talked about plans to do this, looking at nuclear power, north sea oil and gas, more renewables, but there is a lot of pressure on the government to say what will it do sooner and quicker rather than just talking about what support it will give to households struggling with energy bills, also what quick fixes will look at to ramp up energy security in the uk? labour has certainly

called for them to be bolder with things like introducing more click when your energy like solar power and onshore wind, they have called for mass insulation programme is to make us all try to need less energy by keeping more heating our homes essentially, the opposition is putting that pressure on and it will be the next big question facing whoever the next uk prime minister is when they are dealing with how to try to solve the supply issue long—term so we are not as vulnerable to some of these price shocks we are seeing at the moment. do we know if the business secretary has sought advice on the powers available to him too, for example, russian electricity supplies in an emergency situation? —— russian electricity supplies. a freedom of information request showed he had not done much earlier in the summer. untiljune the business secretary had not asked officials for any kind of advice on energy rationing,

something which this exercise looking at different scenarios will examine. the government house stress this is because energy supplies are secure in the uk —— the government has stressed. they have said there is not the risk of blackouts and beta—1 people to feel they need to use less energy this winter but looking at other european countries, some have decided to make plans for things like energy rationing should that be necessary, particular concerns being raised in some european countries about russia turning off the gas taps to them. the government has been stressing energy supply in the uk is ok and i will not be these situations but i think pressure will build on them about what they do more longer term to make a small —— us less

infrastructure and government buildings ahead of ukraine's independence day on wednesday. the us embassy in kyiv has urged us citizens still in ukraine to leave the country immediately. also today a memorial will be held in moscow shortly for daria dugina, the daughter of a key influencer of vladimir putin, who was killed in a bomb attack near moscow at the weekend. russia's security services claim a ukrainian agent was responsible for the attack — something ukraine strongly denies. our correspondent in kyiv, hugo bachega has the latest. we had to this morning from the us state department yesterday saying they had information to believe russia is planning to step up attacks against civilian infrastructure, also government facilities across the country. the us embassy in kyiv has urged us citizens still in the country to

leave ukraine immediately. for days we have heard warnings from officials, president zelensky has said russia could be planning something disgusting, in his words, to mark independence day tomorrow. some measures have been taken across the country, in the city of kharkiv in the east which has been under constant russian bombardment in recent weeks, a curfew has been extended until thursday. in the city of mykolaiv in the south, which has been under constant russian shelling, people have been told to avoid public gatherings, to stay—at—home, and in kyiv there is a ban on public events, a ban on any events marking independence day tomorrow, a ban until thursday. the curfew has not been extended but like the rest of the country, the city is on high alert. i'm joined now by hanna shelest, a ukrainian security analyst at the center

for european policy analysis. thank you forjoining us. first on this morning from the us about attacks on civilian infrastructure in ukraine and government buildings, is that based on specific intelligence as far as you are a work or is it more to do with the fact that independence day for ukraine is tomorrow, hugely symbolic and therefore a likely target for attacks? ., , , :: :: ., , attacks? probably 50-50, the last eiuht ears attacks? probably 50-50, the last eight years demonstrated - attacks? probably 50-50, the last eight years demonstrated that - eight years demonstrated that russians usually use religious or national holidays for some attacks against ukraine and the last six months in particular we have seen it at each of the national holidays we have had. we understand independence day is very symbolic considering this war and the russian invasion, but at the same time the intelligence we have been receding intelligence we have been receding in the last year, unfortunately it has proved to be true. i5

in the last year, unfortunately it has proved to be true.— in the last year, unfortunately it has proved to be true. is there much ukraine can — has proved to be true. is there much ukraine can do _ has proved to be true. is there much ukraine can do to _ has proved to be true. is there much ukraine can do to defend _ has proved to be true. is there much ukraine can do to defend itself- has proved to be true. is there much ukraine can do to defend itself from| ukraine can do to defend itself from these attacks? obviously the russians will be aware ukraine has warned its citizens to not be out about but russia might decide to not launch any attacks tomorrow, perhaps wait until later in the week. this is the issue, the people don't know, the authorities do not know whether russia might launch its next attack so how do they defend themselves? there are several issues, firstly what you have seen in the last two weeks that ukrainian forces are trying to demolish the weeks that ukrainian forces are trying to demolist_ trying to demolish the russian stockile trying to demolish the russian stockpile of — trying to demolish the russian stockpile of ammunitions. - trying to demolish the russian| stockpile of ammunitions. that trying to demolish the russian i stockpile of ammunitions. that is predominantly in crimea or at the borders. that is happening, for sure. that is minimising the possibility for any type of attack. at the same time our air defence is on high alert, in all the official

announcements from the ukrainian government you said we should be on high alert all three days as it can happen in the night, in the morning or even in the evening. what happen in the night, in the morning or even in the evening.— happen in the night, in the morning or even in the evening. what is your broader analysis _ or even in the evening. what is your broader analysis of _ or even in the evening. what is your broader analysis of the _ or even in the evening. what is your broader analysis of the relative - broader analysis of the relative positions of ukraine and russia in the fighting right now? the situation is _ the fighting right now? the situation is really _ the fighting right now? tie: situation is really changing the fighting right now? tia: situation is really changing very dramatically almost daily, in general you can say the russian forces did not advance in any of the destinations in the last month that at the same time unfortunately we cannot speak about the real counteroffensive from ukraine. it is still not the positioning war when everybody is waiting, it is not a ceasefire but at the same time it is an attempt to charge the ammunition, make another side to be less capable of the new attack.—

hello, what is the latest on this story? we know mr trump is certainly litigious and it seems he wants to use the law to at least delay the investigation? aha, use the law to at least delay the investigation?— investigation? a special master would slow— investigation? a special master would slow this _ investigation? a special master would slow this process - investigation? a special master would slow this process down, | investigation? a special masterl would slow this process down, it would slow this process down, it would be an independent person but would be an independent person but would review these documents and it adds another step to that process. the department ofjustice continued their investigation. it is not clear they believe they have recovered all they believe they have recovered all the classified materials from president trump's... former president trump's. .. former president president trump's... former president chun mar—a—lago home. the new york times is reporting this morning that federal authorities have recovered 300 documents from mar—a—lago that were classified, some of which marked top secret, the highest level of protection for documents in the us government, documents in the us government, documents that would typically have to be reviewed at a secure facility.

one president trump was in office a facility was built at mar—a—lago to review those types of documents, it was removed after he left office. if we think of that old adage no publicity is bad publicity, i think that applies here because it seems the publicity around this is certainly boosting donald trump, boosting his support amongst his base as primary elections take place in the us? . , base as primary elections take place in the us? ., , ., , , in the us? clearly rallying his base, republicans _ in the us? clearly rallying his base, republicans are - in the us? clearly rallying his| base, republicans are rushing in the us? clearly rallying his i base, republicans are rushing to in the us? clearly rallying his - base, republicans are rushing to his defence in the wake of this fbi search but the question is whether that continues as we learn more information about the documents the government recovered and the nature of them. it is not clear at this point. one interesting point in the legal filing yesterday from the trump team, they asserted president trump team, they asserted president trump is the frontrunner for the republican presidential nomination in 2024, he has not officially declared his candidacy but it shows how politics is so intertwined with

this investigation.— how politics is so intertwined with this investigation. thank you, cbs news correspondent _ this investigation. thank you, cbs news correspondent bradley - news correspondent bradley blackburn. 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. 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. and we can now speak to extragalactic astronomer and presenter of the awesome astronomy podcast, drjenifer millard. i think that is one of the bestjob titles i have introduced! good to have you back with us, we spoke about a week ago about the ultimates one nation, you must be incredibly excited now at this latest news? —— about the artemis mission. i5 excited now at this latest news? -- about the artemis mission.- about the artemis mission. is long as the weather _ about the artemis mission. is long as the weather holds _ about the artemis mission. is long as the weather holds the _ about the artemis mission. is long as the weather holds the return i about the artemis mission. is long as the weather holds the return to | as the weather holds the return to the moon will officially begin next week, so excited.— the moon will officially begin next week, so excited. rebecca mentioned it briefl , week, so excited. rebecca mentioned it briefly. but — week, so excited. rebecca mentioned it briefly, but tell— week, so excited. rebecca mentioned it briefly, but tell us _ week, so excited. rebecca mentioned it briefly, but tell us more _ week, so excited. rebecca mentioned it briefly, but tell us more about - it briefly, but tell us more about why this rocket is the most powerful nasa has ever built, why has it had to build such a huge rocket? great

and able to cope with the situation. we are also testing all of the propulsion, manoeuvrability, all of these systems and then of course re—entry and landing because they are critical to completing the mission successfully and safely, and although each of these components has gone through individual tests, as much as we can on earth, we need to put them into the deep space environment to see how they cope, so thatis environment to see how they cope, so that is what artemis i is all about, making sure everything comes together, works properly and did say. together, works properly and did sa . ~ . together, works properly and did sa . . ., . ., , together, works properly and did sa . ~ ., . ., , ., say. with all the challenges on earth, is say. with all the challenges on earth. is now _ say. with all the challenges on earth, is now right _ say. with all the challenges on earth, is now right time? - say. with all the challenges on earth, is now right time? for. say. with all the challenges on | earth, is now right time? for all this expense, the effort, the money being poured into this project? that's a great question because money is a big problem at the minute around the globe. but we don't spend too much money on space exploration. for the uk taxpayer it works out at

about £1 per person per year. in america, their budget for the first three artemis emissions is going up to around 100 billion us dollars and that sounds like an awful lot of money but that is spread over nearly 15 years and in one year the us will spend $750 billion on defence. although these sums of money sound enormous, in the grand scheme of government budgets it's not much at all and they positively impact our lives on earth through things like spin off technology because there is something about space exploration that attracts the most brilliant minds and inspires innovation beyond what would necessarily happen. for example, kidney dialysis machines are a direct spin off from space exploration. waterfiltration system. and from the james webb space telescope... i system. and from the james webb space telescope. . ._ space telescope... i have to interrupted _ space telescope... i have to

towards the east, bringing showery outbreaks of rain and continuing to ferment through the afternoon. you can see how sporadic the showers are. it will brighten up across western scotland and northern ireland and elsewhere we will see holes punched in the cloud with temperatures of 15 in lerwick, 20 in glasgow and 27 in norwich. this evening we see the back edge of the rain move away and then a new band comes in from the south—west, moving across wales, the midlands and into scotland and out of northern ireland where it will turn fresher. for the rest of us once again it will be another muggy night. tomorrow, the weather front still with us but clearing eastern scotland to leave sunshine and a few showers. brisk wind in northern ireland and western scotland. on the other side of the front, hot with highs of 30 and quite muggy. hello this is bbc news.

over liverpool last night, after praising the character and fighting spirit of his players who ground out a 2—1win. there was a protest against the club's owners prior to kick off, but united fans had no complaints about what they saw on the pitch as olly foster reports. chanting: 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 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's clear. i don't have a lot of arguments. we lost 2—1, so it's not that i loved the game, but i think, erm, on another day with more conviction about what we are doing, we can turn it around. so that's how we do it. 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. 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". england test captain ben stokes says he feared he may not play again during his break from the sport to prioritise his mental wellbeing last year. the 31—year—old says he suffered panic attacks after bottling up his emotions for several years.

in 2020 his dad ged died from brain cancer. stokes, who was named test skipper in april, has been telling john watson about what the past few years have been like. i'd give off this bavaro, being a tough northern lad with tattoos and stuff like that. yeah, i am tough, butjust because i'm tough doesn't mean i can't struggle mentally because these things, you can't pick and choose when they are going to hit you. it's not like a switch in your brain, today i'm going to feel good and tomorrow i will feel bad. you took an indefinite break from the game. did you think you might not play cricket again? i the game. did you think you might not play cricket again?— not play cricket again? i mean, at the time, yeah. _ not play cricket again? i mean, at the time, yeah. that's _ not play cricket again? i mean, at the time, yeah. that's where - not play cricket again? i mean, at the time, yeah. that's where i - not play cricket again? i mean, at| the time, yeah. that's where i was sacked. there was a very tough time, as i alluded to. and one of the more, probably the most powerful things about that that i watched, that i noticed from the film, was when stuart broad was on camera and he said the same thing. he actually said he could see me not playing again and i never spoke to stuart

about that through my time away. i spoke to stewart a lot through that period but i never said the words to him, i'm not sure if i will play again. but the fact he got that feeling through that time was almost an eye—opener to me at that time that things were quite bad. ben stokes there, speaking to bbc breakfast before his documentary — phoenix from the ashes — which is on amazon prime from friday. that's all the sport for now. detectives searching for a missing student nurse say she could be sleeping rough. owami davies was last seen in south london in earlyjuly. it has since emerged officers spoke to her on the day she was reported missing, as alice key reports. nicknamed princess by herfamily because of her love of disney, owami davies had a bright future in nursing ahead of her. but six weeks ago, she disappeared. it was the 4th ofjuly when the 24—year—old left her home in essex, telling her mum she was going to the gym.

48 hours later, herfamily contacted the police when she didn't come home. we now know that on the same day she was found asleep in a doorway in croydon. she told officers that she didn't need any help, so they left. at the time they say they were unaware she'd been reported as missing by herfamily in essex. the independent office for police conduct is now considering whether to investigate the contact they had with ms davies that day. the following day she was captured on cctv near west croydon station around midnight. onjuly the 23rd, essex police formally handed the case over to the met. since then, five people have been arrested and bailed in connection with her disappearance, two on suspicion of murder, and three on suspicion of kidnap. her family are now desperate for any information that might bring her home. we miss her.

i'm so... ..i'm broken. i'm empty. and so are her brothers. during a briefing yesterday, police said there is no evidence she's come to any harm, and they're hopeful that they will find 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. dockers striking at britain's largest container port have said they are relying on food banks as the cost—of—living crisis intensifies.

almost 2,000 workers walked out from the site in felixstowe in suffolk at the weekend, for the first time in 30 years as pay negotiations broke down between the port and trade union unite. there's now 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 turners 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 openultra. a tiny haulage operation compared to turners, they run around 25 trucks and they're normally on the port every day picking up containers. but compared to last week, theirjob 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 not just us if 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. now let's bring you the latest statistics from the office for national statistics on excess deaths. we get these figures each week for england and wales. in the week ending 12 august 2022, 10,355 deaths were registered in england and wales — 592 of these deaths

mentioned coronavirus accounting for 5.7% of all deaths. this is a decrease compared with the week ending 5 august 2022, when the number of all—cause deaths registered was 10,698. covid—19 accounted for 723 of these deaths 6.8%, a higher proportion than the latest week. they do sayjuly saw periods of exceptionally hot weather which contributed to those excess deaths during those periods of intense heat. devi sridhar is chair of public health at the university of edinburgh. good to have you with us. take us

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. kashjoins me now. we saw there the dreadful impact that taking nitrous oxide, laughing gas, has had on her life. it serves as a warning. gas, has had on her life. it serves as a warning-— gas, has had on her life. it serves as a warninu. ., ., ., , , as a warning. the fear among experts is that those — as a warning. the fear among experts is that those using _ as a warning. the fear among experts is that those using the _ as a warning. the fear among experts is that those using the larger - is that those using the larger canisters, it is far more difficult to know how much gas is in their compared to the small silver canisters you might have seen at festivals or after a night out at

your local park. prolonged use of the drug can lead to vitamin b12 deficiency which if left untreated can be quite serious. we heard about how kerry—anne's dad is looking after her and she has lost sensation in her legs were stop she was taking up in her legs were stop she was taking up to 600 of the small silver canisters every week. research suggests that around 4% of recreational users will experience symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency like numbness and difficulty walking and tingling. it is like numbness and difficulty walking and tinuulin. , like numbness and difficulty walking andtinualin. , ., and tingling. it is the most popular dru: and tingling. it is the most popular drug among _ and tingling. it is the most popular drug among 16-24 _ and tingling. it is the most popular drug among 16-24 -year-olds. - and tingling. it is the most popular. drug among 16-24 -year-olds. where drug among 16—24 —year—olds. where are they getting these canisters from, especially the larger ones? they find large canisters from dealer on social media. the dealer in the report said he started selling them after the pandemic with a large and rising demand over time. he admitted to selling them even though he knew about the potential health risks for people. we found posts and accounts from advertisers for large canisters on platforms

like snapchat, facebook, tiktok, where they are not marketed as drugs. the platforms have told us they have tried to remove accounts that break guidelines. iloathed they have tried to remove accounts that break guidelines.— they have tried to remove accounts that break guidelines. what is being done to educate _ that break guidelines. what is being done to educate people _ that break guidelines. what is being done to educate people about - that break guidelines. what is being done to educate people about the i done to educate people about the potential dangers of nitrous oxide? we spoke about different educational charities that are involved. last week the government ask the advisory council on the misuse of drugs to see if tougher laws are needed. currently nitrous oxide is legal and large canisters are legal to sell for use in the catering industry where there is a legitimate use but selling it for its psychoactive use is against the law, it is illegal and carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. some charities and experts we spoke to said regulation would not stop the use of super—sized canisters and fears it will risk criminalising young people. the home office told us once the independent report is published it will consider the advice carefully.—

overdue, but in reality, _ you can't go much faster anyway. germany's motorways are world famous. there is technically nothing to stop a driver doing, as one did recently, more than 250 miles an hour. but would slowing them down significantly reduce fuel consumption? in the drive to conserve energy, this economist believes every little helps. it could save some 1.5% of the consumption of fuel, at least if we would limit it or introduce a speed limit for a certain period of time. i think we should think carefully about introducing it forever, eternally, but for a certain time, as long as the crisis prevails, why not? a motorway speed limit would please environmental campaigners, and those who worry about safety, although significantly more people

die on germany's rural roads than the autobahn. this debate has been raging on and off for years, and it's extremely contentious. this, after all, is the land of rules and regulations, of bureaucracy. so, for many, it's about so much more than the open road. it's about freedom. and for germany's liberal politicians, that right is sacrosanct. though the rest of the coalition government disagrees. where's the stop then? if you say, well, speed limit, 130 kilometres per hour, then the next person comes and says, well, a hundred kilometres per hour would be even better. next one comes and says, well, 60 would be even better. then the next person comes and says, well, not driving a car at all would be the best. it's a long—running and intense debate, but public opinion has now shifted in favour of a limit. could this be the moment the battle for germany's motorways is finally won?

jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. jerry allison, the last surviving original member of buddy holly's band, the crickets, has died. he was 82. the drummer is credited with co—writing two of the group's biggest hits including that'll be the day, released in 1957, and peggy sue. holly himself died in an air crash in 1959, aged only 22. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. good morning. it has been a muggy start to the day and also fairly cloudy and murky. a weak weather front moving from west to east bringing showery outbreaks of rain. increasingly fragmenting, you can see how the showers are sporadic by the afternoon stop brightening up in western scotland and northern
