the morning, stormy. first thing in the morning, there could be showers across western parts, maybe wales and the lake district, perhaps south—western parts of scotland. but generally clear, and then through the morning it will tend to cloud over, particularly across central parts of england. so from a sunny morning a bright afternoon. high pressure is expected to build during the weekend, this time from the north and sometimes around areas of high pressure, when the wind is coming from the north, it can really whistle around some of our coasts. so the coasts of lincolnshire, east anglia and the kent coast and the channel coast could be breezy at times. that means the warmth will be displaced towards the south—west, said cardiff could be the hotspot during the weekend. that was saturday, this is sunday. again, mid 20s possible here in the west or south—west. but only 16 on the

actual coast of england. and for the outlook, it is looking pretty set fair over the next few days. the best temperatures are in the south, but even in belfast and glasgow and edinburgh, not looking bad. reeta, overto edinburgh, not looking bad. reeta, over to you. thanks, tomasz. and that is tonight's bbc news at ten. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with katie razzall, which is just getting under way on bbc two, and the news continues on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but from the ten team, it's goodnight. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sebastian payne,

who's the whitehall editor for the financial times, and the journalist and author, claire cohen. lets start again you look at the front pages tomorrow. —— taking a look. the i newspaper has that all—important headline on energy bills, as millions prepare for a huge rise in october prices expected to be announced tomorrow at 7.00. as the nation awaits the next prime minister, the daily telegraph says the new pm will "hit the ground running" and offer urgent help bills within days of stepping into number ten. meanwhile, the ft follows the frontrunner of the conservative leadership contest liz truss, who it says is eyeing up plans to trigger article 16 against the eu to buy more time dealing with the northern ireland protocol. the guardian says headteachers in england are calling on ministers to delay the return of pre—covid exam conditions, after this years gcse results highlighted the attainment gap between north and south pupils.

and the metro pictures the health secretary being heckled by a woman who quizzed him about ongoing ambulance waiting times which, the paper says, may have led to thousands of patients coming to harm last month. so let's begin with the daily telegraph, and thank you forjoining us this evening. this new headline, the new prime minister will offer help with bills. it says as soon as possible — but when is that? from speaking to people, they need help now. , ., ., , ., ., . now. they do, and this announcement cominu now. they do, and this announcement coming tomorrow _ now. they do, and this announcement coming tomorrow from _ now. they do, and this announcement coming tomorrow from ofgem - now. they do, and this announcement coming tomorrow from ofgem will. now. they do, and this announcement coming tomorrow from ofgem will be | coming tomorrow from 0fgem will be huge because it will set out what the next couple of months will look like for millions of households across the country who are struggling to pay their bills. and within two weeks, we will also have a new prime minister. liz truss will

have had her new cabinet installed, shall have done her first pmqs and be under huge pressure to say what she'll do for the cost of so far we've had another leadership postings tonight — she's been focused on tax cuts, being seen by many industry experts and economists that her tax cuts will not actually help with the vast majority of energy rises. so what we see in several of the front pages tomorrow are quotes from people closest to liz truss to say that when she does become prime minister, there will be a big package. now cast your mind back to an interview liz truss gave to the financial times where she said there would be no hand—outs to help people — apparently there will now be hand—outs, and quite sizeable hand—outs based on these reports. there's some reporting in the times that say she could cut vat on fuel bills which was rishi sunak�*s idea, but also boost universal credit. but it's very clear that liz truss has grasped the scale the challenge and

when she becomes prime minister on the 6th of september, we will get a sense on what she will actually do. but as you were saying, for millions across the country, they want help and reassurance now, and that's the problem with this leadership contest, we are still going around in circles with the same old sound bites and the government is not doing a single thing.— bites and the government is not doing a single thing. clear, we 'ust heard that there i doing a single thing. clear, we 'ust heard that there could i doing a single thing. clear, we 'ust heard that there could be i doing a single thing. clear, we 'ust heard that there could be tax h doing a single thing. clear, we just heard that there could be tax cuts, a number of things coming in. —— claire. but we aren't hearing the funny deep —— final detail, aren't we? i funny deep -- final detail, aren't we? ., funny deep -- final detail, aren't we? . ., funny deep -- final detail, aren't we? ., ., , , funny deep -- final detail, aren't we? . ., , , . we? i want to pick up something that sebastian said _ we? i want to pick up something that sebastian said which _ we? i want to pick up something that sebastian said which is _ we? i want to pick up something that sebastian said which is that - we? i want to pick up something that sebastian said which is that in - we? i want to pick up something that sebastian said which is that in a - sebastian said which is that in a couple — sebastian said which is that in a couple weeks, presumably liz truss to be _ couple weeks, presumably liz truss to be in _ couple weeks, presumably liz truss to be in office and have her new cabinet — to be in office and have her new cabinet in — to be in office and have her new cabinet in place. to me, it started to read _ cabinet in place. to me, it started to read a — cabinet in place. to me, it started to read a little bit like a job application from a nadhim zahawi who was told _ application from a nadhim zahawi who was told to— application from a nadhim zahawi who was told to work flat out so the incoming — was told to work flat out so the incoming pm could hit the ground running — incoming pm could hit the ground running. but it's very loose on detaii at_ running. but it's very loose on detail. at recent hustings, liz truss— detail. at recent hustings, liz truss has— detail. at recent hustings, liz truss has still been saying she won't — truss has still been saying she won't bump more money into the system — won't bump more money into the system. we know she's not keen on

above £3000 from 0fgem. that's the point which you know how much it will increase by, both rishi sunak and liz truss will face huge pressure to say what exactly they will do. and we know rishi sunak will probably talk about the kind of schemes keep put in earlier in the year, the £400 rebate for every household combined with £150 council tax rebate for some of the poorest households. and i think that's the kind of scheme he's talking about. we saw an indication from what the energy companies have put forward that there is a big meeting with them — kwasi kwarteng is all assured to be the next chancellor of the exchequer, and nadhim zahawi would love to have thatjob, but it's not happening. in this meeting, the energy meetings put forward this skill that would be £100 billion, huge money for the government where loans would be provided to the energy companies to allow them to keep the price cap where it is and not to increase further, and it would be paid back at some point in

the future when bills start to stabilise and they are able to put that towards the government. there's lots of ideas in the offering but we just don't know how long this will last. today is ukrainian independence day, and it's an absolutely amazing feat that a nation that everyone thought would be trumped by russia is still standing and fighting nobly. but it's a reminder that this will be a long slog, and all this is predicated on energy prices staying the same. what if they lit up at gas and oil? that could put even more pressure on energy companies. br; and oil? that could put even more pressure on energy companies. by the ener: pressure on energy companies. by the energy companies _ pressure on energy companies. by the energy companies in _ pressure on energy companies. by the energy companies in this _ pressure on energy companies. by the energy companies in this article - pressure on energy companies. by the energy companies in this article are i energy companies in this article are warning —— were warning the government a year ago got the —— about the impending crisis. abs, government a year ago got the -- about the impending crisis. a source from one of— about the impending crisis. a source from one of the _ about the impending crisis. a source from one of the big _ about the impending crisis. a source from one of the big six _ about the impending crisis. a source

petrol, businesses, and if it's a particularly cold winter, which we don't know at this stage, but there's no doubt about it, this will be very bad. i think it's onlyjust dawning on liz truss's campaign team and they are all holed up in her 17th—century georgian mansion in kent, trying to figure out what their government will look like because when they come in, they'll have to act very quickly. because if they don't and have things for the winter, then the stories and unhappiness, and also potential civil unrest will start to get very real. there's a campaign at the moment called don't pay, which is telling people on the 1st of october, tear up your direct debits and not pay the energy bills. if hundreds of thousands of people do that, where does that leave the courts and energy companies? that's what happens when governments can't act and intervene, that's why liz truss needs to get on the front

foot. and i hope after we see the energy announcement tomorrow, we will get some proper detailed plans to reassure people.— to reassure people. reassurance is what people _ to reassure people. reassurance is what people need, _ to reassure people. reassurance is what people need, not _ to reassure people. reassurance is what people need, notjust - to reassure people. reassurance is what people need, notjust in - to reassure people. reassurance is what people need, notjust in the l to reassure people. reassurance is. what people need, notjust in the uk come up all over europe. it is. what people need, notjust in the uk come up all over europe.— come up all over europe. it is, it is aood come up all over europe. it is, it is good to _ come up all over europe. it is, it is good to her— come up all over europe. it is, it is good to her member - come up all over europe. it is, it is good to her member that - come up all over europe. it is, it - is good to her member that because obviously— is good to her member that because obviously we are understandably very concerned _ obviously we are understandably very concerned about what's happening on our own— concerned about what's happening on our own shores —— it is good to remember— our own shores —— it is good to remember that. our own shores —— it is good to rememberthat. i our own shores —— it is good to remember that. i want to pick up on that point— remember that. i want to pick up on that point about the libraries and museums. — that point about the libraries and museums, being talked about will rearm _ museums, being talked about will rearm -- — museums, being talked about will rearm —— about warm spaces. we've been _ rearm —— about warm spaces. we've been hearing _ rearm —— about warm spaces. we've been hearing about people increasingly not working from home, going _ increasingly not working from home, going into _ increasingly not working from home, going into their workplace and offices — going into their workplace and offices to use the wi—fi and electricity, the air conditioning when — electricity, the air conditioning when it's— electricity, the air conditioning when it's been very hot, and that will change — when it's been very hot, and that will change to heating in the winter _ will change to heating in the winter. but there will be a tipping point _ winter. but there will be a tipping point where these stories turn from heart—rending to tragic, and to potentially have incredibly serious consequences if people can't afford to have _ consequences if people can't afford to have central heating in the

you've done is nothing! there you io, you've done is nothing! there you no, a you've done is nothing! there you go. a very — you've done is nothing! there you go. a very angry _ you've done is nothing! there you go, a very angry woman - you've done is nothing! there you go, a very angry woman there. i go, a very angry woman there. sebastian, your thoughts on how stephen barclay dealt with that? i must confess when i saw that clip, it brought back a memory of a parity moment on in the thick of it where the minister goes to a hospital and is confronted by a cleaner who operates him over and over again, saying, do you know it's like to clean your own mother's you're in? that was a parity of how ministers deal with these awkward situations. i think stephen barclay dealt with this worse than in the satire. it's impossible, but at least you should engage and show some humility, ask what their concerns are and try and show some empathy. i don't think barclay did that, he was lavishly taken unawares, to give him the micro—credit, but at that moment he looks flummoxed and doesn't know what to do. if you're going to be a top—flight cabinet minister, you need to know how to spot when you've

got irate members of the public, because ultimately that's what you're there to do. the point she made speaks to this wider concern that so much of the british stage isn't working well at the moment. you've got covid backlogs completely blocking out the nhs and the court, but so many parts of the state people feel aren't functioning for them. i don't want to bring it back to the tory leadership contest, but this a real sense it's taking place in a hermetically sealed bubble where they talk about all sorts of predilections that are good for tory party members, but not necessarily matters for the general public. i think when the new prime minister comes in, he or she should be very aware there's a lot of anger, a lot of people like that lady in that clip who look around them and think, "things aren't working, what are you going to do about it?" and they need a better answer than mr barclay did. i feel like when something like that happens, you get an
