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. and a smiling emma raducanu is pictured in the times, as the grand slam champion returns to defend her us open title. let's begin. we will start with the daily mail this evening, thanks for joining us this evening. claire, over to you, the front page of the male, i will go i'll get you through the energy bill crisis." that's a big pledge, isn't it? it the energy bill crisis.�* that's a big pledge, isn't it?— big pledge, isn't it? it is, and this is really _ big pledge, isn't it? it is, and this is really the _ big pledge, isn't it? it is, and this is really the only - big pledge, isn't it? it is, and this is really the only story i big pledge, isn't it? it is, and this is really the only story in| this is really the only story in town tomorrow. it's a really talk something front—page from liz truss, and she says she'll use the emergency budget next month to help

people get through tough times. it's really galvanising rhetoric — what new plans, us? oh, it'll be her tax—cutting agenda of the likes we've heard for several weeks as she's been on the conservative leadership campaign trail. it's national insurance, corporation tax, green levees again which experts have called ill relevant given the scale of price rises here. —— irrelevant. so what else will she offer? because this is very positive rhetoric, promising help— yet there's no detail in this front at all. you wonder if there's... the other interesting detail is kwasi kwarteng, who stepped in to be her chancellor, has been talking to energy bosses about freezing it for... so there's all this talk, some of its doesn't seem realistic,

some of its doesn't seem realistic, some of its doesn't seem realistic, some of which experts are pooh—poohing, what will be the nitty—gritty of this? because we are in a situation where half of uk families will be plunged into poverty, people will be paying 10% of their income on energy bills on average, where's the emergency plan here? �* ,, ., average, where's the emergency plan here? ,, ., �*, here? and sebastian, it's the devil in the detail, _ here? and sebastian, it's the devil in the detail, we _ here? and sebastian, it's the devil in the detail, we seem _ here? and sebastian, it's the devil in the detail, we seem to - here? and sebastian, it's the devil in the detail, we seem to have - here? and sebastian, it's the devil. in the detail, we seem to have none of that at the moment.— of that at the moment. there's a little more _ of that at the moment. there's a little more detail— of that at the moment. there's a little more detail in _ of that at the moment. there's a little more detail in the - of that at the moment. there's a little more detail in the times i little more detail in the times tomorrow, where the report again, liz truss_ tomorrow, where the report again, liz truss is— tomorrow, where the report again, liz truss is playing this big physical— liz truss is playing this big physical intervention to help with the cost — physical intervention to help with the cost crisis, saying as well as the cost crisis, saying as well as the tax — the cost crisis, saying as well as the tax cuts _ the cost crisis, saying as well as the tax cuts she's already announced in terms _ the tax cuts she's already announced in terms of— the tax cuts she's already announced in terms of reversing the national insurance — in terms of reversing the national insurance rise in april, but that might— insurance rise in april, but that might take _ insurance rise in april, but that might take a bit of time to come in, she will_ might take a bit of time to come in, she will also — might take a bit of time to come in, she will also scrap the green levees which _ she will also scrap the green levees which will— she will also scrap the green levees which will save a little bit of money, _ which will save a little bit of money, but there's two new measures— one is— money, but there's two new measures— one is to _ money, but there's two new measures— one is to scrap — money, but there's two new measures— one is to scrap all temporary vat on energy— one is to scrap all temporary vat on energy bills, — one is to scrap all temporary vat on energy bills, which is something rishi sunak has talked about in the

overin people think the problem will not be over in six months —— will be over in six months, they are not right." we have projected fuel bill and energy price rises every quarter until the end of next year, and it's worth to say the figures. it's predicted to be 80% rise tomorrow morning at 7am — up on average to £3500. but injanuary that's £3500. but in january that's predicted to rise up to £4649 for the average household, which is beyond comprehension. so we know this will not be over in six months, but for liz truss to just keep focusing on the tax cuts instead of fixing the energy smart problem, we do, but while she's trying to get more bass out of the north sea, people need help right now. so there needs to be a longer—term solution, this isn't going away, but this needs to be something that happens much faster than that, and let's hope this emergency budget on 21 september takes place and has

something concrete in it. i think there'll be _ something concrete in it. i think there'll be a _ something concrete in it. i think there'll be a lot _ something concrete in it. i think there'll be a lot of— something concrete in it. i think there'll be a lot of people - something concrete in it. i think there'll be a lot of people out i there'll be a lot of people out there'll be a lot of people out there looking at all the reports we are seeing, peoplejust there looking at all the reports we are seeing, people just constantly waiting for who's going to help, what will happen next. we will all be reporting on horrific stories of people struggling. let's move to the guardian next — we've got this top line, "gap in gcs eat results brings fresh warnings over covid.

over the pandemic. we shouldn't be surprised for all the reasons he describes, the story tells us pupils in london at missed lessons less than those in the north for those years because of lockdown restrictions that exacerbated that divide. there is this call from the exam to revert to pre—covid times for next year, they want everything back to normal. but it's the teachers were saying, "hang on, listen to us, is notjust the exam years during covid who've suffered here, it's the younger pupils as well, the 2023 gcs e students who of all missed out, and they need some of the provisions made for this year's cohort. i don't know if you watched any of the footage today of young people opening their results, which always takes me right back there, but what was really

noticeable is that a lot of them, while they were squealing and crying, whatever their reaction, a lot of them took the time to think their teachers for being there for them this year, naming specific teachers and paying tribute to them. these kids are 16 years old, that really stuck out to me. i think we really stuck out to me. i think we really need to be listening to our teachers who've been there on the front line, on the ground, who know exactly what the gaps are in their schools, whose far behind and how much needs to be done. absolutely, let's move onto _ much needs to be done. absolutely, let's move onto the _ much needs to be done. absolutely, let's move onto the next _ much needs to be done. absolutely, let's move onto the next the - much needs to be done. absolutely, let's move onto the next the daily i let's move onto the next the daily mirror front page — let's move onto the next the daily mirrorfront page — awful let's move onto the next the daily mirror front page — awful story that's really shocked the nation, the headline here, "who took our baby away from us?" of course talking about the family of the murdered schoolgirl olivia pratt—korbel. murdered schoolgirl olivia pratt-korbel._ murdered schoolgirl olivia pratt-korbel. , , ., , pratt-korbel. indeed, in this story, it's hard to —

going on there. the commissioner of the police was on the radio this morning, and she spoke convincingly about how gun crime has since fallen since the measures they put in place. but i wonder if there's a community aspect of this that hasn't been tackled thoroughly, and it's unfortunately showing up now where people are still in fear and worried of coming forward in tragic cases like this. �* , �* , ., like this. i'm sure we'll be hearing more about _ like this. i'm sure we'll be hearing more about that _ like this. i'm sure we'll be hearing more about that story _ like this. i'm sure we'll be hearing more about that story tomorrow i like this. i'm sure we'll be hearing i more about that story tomorrow as we get developments. finally, the sun's front page," queen will see you knew." secret plans for the queen to new prime minister at bell moral? normally when you have the change of prime minister, it's choreographed down _ prime minister, it's choreographed down to— prime minister, it's choreographed down to the minute, the old prime minister— down to the minute, the old prime minister leaves downing street, the car goes _ minister leaves downing street, the car goes up the mall to the palace, swoops _ car goes up the mall to the palace, swoops in — car goes up the mall to the palace, swoops in and they have their

15th prime minister to come to her? wonderful, thank you ever so much, we are out of time. that's it for the papers, good night. good evening, i'm tulsen tollett, and this is your sports news — where we start with cricket, and england trail by 40 runs after the opening day of the second test against south africa at old trafford. the tourists won the toss and chose to bat, and england's veteran bowlers made the most of it — asjoe wilson reports. who put the old in old trafford? well, certainly not him, he'll never end. james anderson is a sprightly 40. edge of bat, catch and another batter baffled. that's the way he does it, playing here in his 100th test match on home soil. and that's unique territory. and then there's stuart broad. south africa's captain was dismissed here. dean elgar had chosen to bat first.

with a dash of anderson and a thump of lbw, south africa were soon all out. first part of the job was done. so having bowled south africa out forjust 151, all england had to do was come out and score some runs themselves. that's all, pretty simple. of course, it never is — ollie pope knows. south africa's bowlers are seriously good. but having lost three wickets quickly, jonny bairstow rebuilt steadily. that ball was going to the boundary and england will resume just 40 runs behind. zak crawley is out of form, but persevering, still there. yeah, well done, head up. still four days of opportunity — if required. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. we're in a really good place to bat first. you get big first—innings runs at old trafford and the pitch can deteriorate, brings the spinners into play and can offer a bit of variable

bounce as the game goes on. but the overheads as a bowling group this morning, we got together and fancied having a bowl. felt like the clouds would help the ball move a little bit, and whether we could try to make some early inroads. so i wasn't disappointed to lose at all because there's always a release of pressure when a team wins a toss and bat, and you go out and bowl. ex—england batter gary ballance has apologised to azeem rafiq for using racist language against his former yorkshire team—mate. details of racial abuse at the county emerged in september 2020, when rafiq said discrimination had left him feeling suicidal. ballance made the apology in—person during a meeting with rafiq in london this week. we met face—to—face in london, it was hosted byjulian metherell, from the pca. it was very genuine, it was incredibly moving. and it's been really helpful on a human level for myself,

and i'm sure the same for gary, as well, for us to start putting our lives back together. moving to football — liverpool and rangers will meet in the champions league group stage, while manchester city's erling haaland is set to face his old club, borussia dortmund. scottish champions celtic are in the same group, as holders real madrid and chelsea face ac milan. group stage debutants eintracht frankfurt are in the same group as tottenham. bayern munich, barcelona, and inter milan have all been drawn in the same group. west ham will also be in tomorrow's draw for the group stages of the europa conference league. they beat danish side viborg 3—0 in the second leg of their qualifier — progressing 6—1 on aggregate. and they will also be joined by hearts, who drop into the europa conference league after a 1—0 defeat to swiss side fc zurich in the second leg of their europa league play—off, losing 3—1 on aggregate.

they have crashed out, thanks in part to an own goal from jimmy callagher in the last minute of extra time against latvian's rfs, which saw it finish 1—1 on the night and 3—3 on aggregate. the northern irish side went on to lose on penalties, and have missed the chance to become the first irish league club to qualify for a european group stage. england manager sarina wiegman has been named uefa women's coach of the year, after leading the lionesses to a historic victory at the euros. wiegman beat lyon manager sonia bompastor and germany coach martina voss—tecklenburg to the award after leading england's women to their first major tournament success. andy murray will begin his us open campaign against the argentine francisco cerundolo — while cameron norrie, the world number nine, will start against frenchman benoit paire when the tournament gets under way on monday. defending champion emma raducanu will also face a french opponent — starting against world number 37,

alize cornet. elsewhere, harriet dart will take on the tenth seed, daria kasatkina, dan evans will playjiri vesely, and kyle edmund starts against casper ruud. one man who wont be competing at flushing meadows is three—time champion novak djokovic. the winner of 21 grand slams today confirmed that he won't be travelling to new york, because he has not had a covid—19 vaccine. since october 2021, the united states has banned non—vaccinated visitors. britain's tao geogheghan hart moved up to seventh in the overall standings, after stage six of the vuelta a espana, which took place in torrid conditions as the riders set off from bilbao in the first summit finish of the race. and the stage, trust me, was eventually won by australia's jay vine, with new overall leader remco evenepoel in second. trust me, they did finish, the gps was working. toulouse's time in rugby league's

super league is over, after just one season. the french side have been relegated after being beaten 24—14 at home to fellow french team, catalans dragons. fouad yaha with a hat—trick for the away side, who get the point they needed to secure their place in the play—offs. wins too for wakefield, salford, and castleford. and you can read more on that on the bbc sport website. but that's all your sport for now. hello. well, last night, parts of southeastern britain were swamped by thunderstorms — a month—and—a—half of rainfall in 1—2 spots, much quieter out there right now. and friday promises to be a decent day, not all that, sunny. we are expecting the clouds to increase through the course of the morning, into the afternoon — all as a result of this weather front which is approaching from the west. it's a weaker weather front, there's

not an awful lot of rain on it. perhaps a few showers out towards the west. and notice that central and eastern areas will be mostly bright, even sunny. so here's a closer look, then, early hours of the morning, here's the cloud reaching south western parts of england, wales, the irish sea. certainly cloudy for northern ireland and parts of scotland early on friday morning. out towards the east and south, it will be much brighter. 14 in london, the starting temperature, around 10—11 in the north of scotland. so starts off quite sunny, but then, this weak weather front moving very slowly across the uk will build cloud across many central parts of england. i suspect the sunniest areas will be along the north sea coast, around the coasts of east anglia, and also the channel. and you can see where the showers are possible — maybe in southwestern scotland, 1—2 elsewhere, the northwest of england, perhaps wales. now, the weekend — all—important weekend because it is, of course, for some of us a bank holiday weekend. sunny spells and just a few showers on the horizon. so predominantly sunny weather on saturday, with high pressure building.

this weak weather front mayjust about brush the very far northwest of the uk. and the temperatures highest in the southwest of the uk there, in cardiff. at around 25 celsius. here's that area of high pressure — and this time, it's building from the north. look at the arrows — they're blowing around the high, and the winds will be quite strong at times. so it does mean that the coasts of around the north sea and east anglia, and the channel could be quite chilly at times. that will push the warmth out towards the west — so the best weather conditions i think around the irish sea, wales, the southwest of england. here, temperatures up to around the mid—20s once again, but very decent also, say, in glasgow up to around 21 celsius. now here's the outlook through the weekend and into next week — and i think overall, we can say that the weather is mostly set fair for most parts of the uk. that's it for me, bye—bye.
