good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. millions of households are preparing for a huge rise in energy bills — we'll find out injust an hour what we'll have to pay from october as ofgem announces a new price cap. it's going to be a difficult winter for many, many people. good morning from ipswich, where we will be getting a reaction from charities who are already helping people with struggling energy bills. the family of olivia pratt—korbel, who was shot dead by a gunman, speak of their heartbreak as merseyside police vow to find her killer. england are on top against south africa.

james anderson and stuart broad take three wickets each on the first day of the second test at old trafford. space as you've never seen it — we'll speak to the man who's remastered these amazing images of the apollo missions. good morning. some mist and fog to watch out for this morning, some quite dense across the southeast. some starting with sunshine but generally we will see cloud build and some splashes of rain in parts of the west. i will have all the details later on the programme. it's friday august 26th. millions of households in england, scotland and wales will find out at 7am what they could be paying for gas and electricity in october, as the energy regulator ofgem announces a new price cap. this is the maximum amount companies can charge consumers for each unit of energy. it's expected to mean that the average household bill

will rise to more than £3,500 a year. jo black reports. the waterfront at ipswich. but behind the attractive facade and expensive boats, some people in this town are starting to struggle with their living costs, and are fearful about what's to come. basically, i've got two things. one is that, obviously... at a citizens advice bureau drop—in session, we find marina — a former care worker. she has long covid, anxiety and depression. no longer in work, she's applied for universal credit, is £875 in rent arrears, and often sits in the dark to save money. to actually fear, every day, how you're meant to live... it's just something else. didn't think i'd get this age and be worried about things like this. you just think it's going to be normal. the first price cap increase of 2022

in april saw annual bills rise from £1,200 to nearly £2,000. today's increase could see bill—payers parting with around £3,500. the forecasts suggest the price cap will go up again injanuary — with average bills in the region of £4,650. i don't think it will ever go back to how it was. will gas prices always be high? well, no, because eventually we've got to stop using it altogether. so this is a wake—up call of the direction we're going in. but for now, people are planning for trickier times ahead. andrew at the hot sausage company in ipswich town centre hasn't replaced a worker who've just left, and he's diversifying — replaced a worker who's just left, and he's diversifying — doing weddings and corporate events. he says his stock prices have shot up 20%. we put our prices up last year, and we've had to put them up again this year — only by small incremental amounts, but you're scared of putting your prices up because you feel you might lose market share. five miles outside ipswich,

the village of chattisham, and the rural coffee caravan is on its monthly visit. alongside the tea and cake, this charity signposts people to various services — and rising energy prices aren't far from people's minds. well, if i can't afford it, i won't put it on because i won't get into debt — i've never been in debt in my life. i'd just cut back on food, as well, if i had to. i'd have a tin of soup and a roll! and, you know, hopefully that would warm you up! citizens advice predict, by october, a quarter of us won't be able to afford ourfuel bills — with even more people hitting financial hardship in the new year. jo black, bbc news, ipswich. all day we are going to take you through what this means for you. we will be talking to martin lewis, the money saving expert, later on. we will get reaction from the labour party, as well. just to take you

through how you can deal with these rising energy bills and what tools are in place. hannah is at a community cafe in ipswich. you will try to give us a sense today of how people are reacting and people are already struggling this is a reality check. . �* , , , ., ~ ., check. yeah, we've been speaking to --eole in check. yeah, we've been speaking to peeple in ipswich _ check. yeah, we've been speaking to people in ipswich were _ check. yeah, we've been speaking to people in ipswich were already, - check. yeah, we've been speaking to people in ipswich were already, as i people in ipswich were already, as we say, struggling with the rise in bills that we have already seen, along with all the other costs that have been going up. let's talk through, first of all, what exactly is the price cap and why it is increasing. it is set by the energy regulator every three months and dictates the maximum amount that energy companies are allowed to charge per unit of electricity in the average household. it only applies in england, scotland and wales. there is no price cap in northern ireland. when we give that

figure all morning in the thousands of pounds, it is calculated on the typical use of an average household, so crucially you can pay more if you use more energy. what is causing the huge rises in the price cap we have been seeing? well, when lockdown lock downs were lifted around the world there was a surge in demand for energy, and energy prices started to go up, but the big thing really has been the war in ukraine. with reduced supplies of russian gas pushing the price up and up. wholesale costs have more than doubled between last winter and summer, when the last energy price cap was announced, and we are expecting that to go up even further this morning. with me is claire, thank you for hosting us this morning. are you already seeing people struggling? who are you seeing come through the doors? we can't help people with the energy crisis _ can't help people with the energy crisis but — can't help people with the energy crisis but they are making choices

politics right now.— politics right now. that's right. the are politics right now. that's right. they are saying _ politics right now. that's right. they are saying this _ politics right now. that's right. they are saying this will - politics right now. that's right. they are saying this will be - politics right now. that's right. they are saying this will be a l they are saying this will be a decision for the next prime minister in terms of the help they will give consumers, and even when it comes to the two candidates to be prime minister we don't have a full picture exactly what support they plan to give. liz truss has written in the daily mail this morning, saying i will ensure support is on its way and we will get through these tough times. she says her number one priority is to cut taxes. her number two priority is to ensure the uk produces more of its own energy. but in the short—term, if you don't pay much tax or any tax currently, both of these measures don't really do anything for the bills you are facing. she will also pause green levy on energy bills, the parts of the bills that go towards green projects. that could save around £150 per year but people are really facing much higher rises than that. she did say yesterday that her chancellor, if she becomes prime minister, will look at what else needs to be done. perhaps a hint that there would be more

targeted support, but certainly no full picture yet. we have a bit more detailfrom rishi sunak, the other candidates to be prime minister. he said he will cut vat on energy bills, it will save households around £160 per year, and he has promised more targeted support for the most vulnerable households and for pensioners through the welfare system, but crucially he has not put a figure on that yet. he has always said he would have to wait until the next price cap was announced. we expect that this morning so there will then be demands on him, i suspect, to put a number on the support he is offering. but with the price cap coming this morning, in the next half hour or so, and with the next half hour or so, and with the new prime minister taking office on september the 5th, we still don't actually have a full picture of what they plan to do to help people through this period.— they plan to do to help people through this period. david, thank ou ve through this period. david, thank you very much — through this period. david, thank you very much for _ through this period. david, thank you very much for that. - through this period. david, thank you very much for that. the - through this period. david, thank i you very much for that. the official announcement, we know the ballpoint figures, that it will be something

like an 80% rise. 80% loss. that announcement technically comes at 7am today —— 80% plus. we'll be getting reaction throughout the morning — labour's rachel reeves will be joining us at 7:00, and the chief executive of the energy regulator ofgem will be speaking to us at 7:30. the family of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel who was killed in liverpool on monday say "now is the time" for anyone who knows anything about her killer to come forward. olivia was shot when a gunman burst into her house during a chase. one man has been arrested but her killer has still not been traced. john maguire is in liverpool for us this morning. good morning. i know the community is in shock and very sympathetic to what the family has gone through and it is the first time we have heard from the family. it it is the first time we have heard from the family.— from the family. it is. the first time i from the family. it is. the first time i think— from the family. it is. the first time | think that _ from the family. it is. the first time i think that we _ from the family. it is. the first time i think that we had - from the family. it is. the first time i think that we had an - from the family. it is. the first. time i think that we had an insight into the type of little girl that

olivia was. the family called her liv, nine—year—old girl who sounds full of life. kings heath avenue this morning, the floral tributes are really starting to build day on day, still police have cordoned off streets as the forensic officers continue their work in the street. but go back to the family statement. they describe liv as a unique, chatty, knows a little girl who broke the mould when she was born. although her life is short, they say, her personality certainly wasn't. she lived it to the most she could, and would blow people away with her wit and kindness. we as a family are heartbroken and have lost a huge part of our life. now is the time to speak up, they say. it is not about being a snitch or a grass, it is about finding out who took our baby away from us. that line i think

sums up not only the family are in terrible grief and missing liv in a way unimaginable to the rest of us, but also the fact that they are saying to the community, to those people who know, and we hearfrom the police that they are hearing the same names over and over again, that it is about finding out who took our baby away from us. the police say they will not rest, they say inquiries are continuing the work here also detectives contacting members of gangs in the city to try to establish exactly what happened here on monday night. he was responsible, who fired the shots, who avoided it, who might be hiding the people responsible. in terms of the people responsible. in terms of the other two gun incidents that police are investigating and city here, the death of 28—year—old ashley dale, police said yesterday they have arrested two people in connection with that shooting. she

was killed, she died after being shotin was killed, she died after being shot in her back garden. also 22—year—old sam rimmer, three arrests made in that case. those three people have been released on bail. as i say, this is the scene it has been all week, but we learned more about liv, what a special little girl she was, how terribly she will be missed and how desperate everyone is to find the people responsible for her murder. thank ou. the president of ukraine says europe faced the prospect of a radiation disaster on thursday when a russian—occupied nuclear plant was disconnected from the country's power grid. president volodomyr zelensky said the zaporizhzhia plant was only able to operate safely when back—up electricity kicked in. there is growing concern over fighting near the complex, which is the largest nuclear plant in europe. more than 100,000 postal workers are going on strike this morning in a dispute over pay. it is the first of four days of industrial action, with walkouts also taking place

on 31st august and the 8th and 9th september. royal mail says it has put contingency plans in place to minimise disruption. britney spears has released her first new music since 2016 following her release from a conservatorship that controlled almost every aspect of her life. # hold me closer, tiny dancer. # whoo—oo. the new song, hold me closer — a duet with sir eltonjohn — hit streaming sites at midnight. the track is a mash—up of sir elton's hits the one and tiny dancer. may be listening to a little bit more of that later on. time to have a look at the weather now. carol has the details. . good morning.

who was fatally shot in liverpool, to help find the gunman responsible for her death. and the times reports on a scheme by nhs england which is encouraging people aged over 40 to visit their local pharmacy for a free blood pressure check—up. the paper says the drive could help to bring down the number of people having strokes and heart attacks. i have got this story. when you get married, often they think of a lovely form of transport. horse and carriage, an old car. to be transported around. how about an rnli lifeboat? this is what happened to these newlyweds. they have these gorgeous outfits and they decided to gorgeous outfits and they decided to go and get some pictures and they went across a causeway to a welsh island to get these beautiful photographs, stunning views.

unfortunately, as they walked across the causeway to the island with their photographer, the bride was in her high heels, they missed three or four signs which said "danger" because they were so excited. got some really good photos, started to look back and said they had to go, and the pathway was covered in water. the island is around 400 metres from the coast, notorious for people misjudging the tide, getting trapped. and rnli traffic light system tells then went across, they didn't take note, had to call the rnli and they were rescued. the crew saw the funny side. high rnli and they were rescued. the crew saw the funny side.— saw the funny side. high heels, inflatable raft, _ saw the funny side. high heels, inflatable raft, a _ saw the funny side. high heels, inflatable raft, a bad _ saw the funny side. high heels, i inflatable raft, a bad combination. on the wedding theme, these pictures here. these are identical twins who married identical twins and they have both had sons. you can see them. , �* ., have both had sons. you can see them. , �* . , . them. they didn't have twins which do not know. _ them. they didn't have twins which do not know, they _ them. they didn't have twins which do not know, they have _ them. they didn't have twins which do not know, they have separately| do not know, they have separately

[30 twins. extraordinary stories. do the twins. extraordinary stories. drr they look alike? are theyjust like?

you can see, and so is everyone. the mother of a 24 year—old autistic man has called for more support for people with hidden disabilities. jane atkinson says her son george was "abandoned" by staff on a flight from ireland to heathrow, despite asking for assistance for him. chrissy sturt has this report. i like all the different colours... george is autistic. he's high functioning and very independent, but also vulnerable. these flowers are for you. thank you. he's appeared in channel four�*s the undateables — a programme that highlights the challenges facing those with autism and other disabilities. when suddenly faced with flying alone recently, his family requested special assistance from aer lingus. jane, can you explain to me what went wrong? they guaranteed that he would get support through security, onto the plane, and picked up at heathrow. he was taken through security and the guy that was taking him through said to him,

"are you ok, george?" and he went, "yes." and he went, "ok, i'm going," and left him. george did arrive safely, but jane feels very let down. i'm appalled that they can say that they will offer that, and help him, and then turn their back on him. they guaranteed that they would support him and theyjust abandoned him. so who's responsible? air lingus told us... dublin airport says it's... heathrow says assistance agents were dispatched, but airline staff did not make them aware that george was among the passengers requiring assistance. the civil aviation authority has already told airlines that they must do more to help disabled passengers. injune, they sent out a letter saying, "our own reporting framework

tells us that many more disabled and less—mobile passengers have had to wait longer for assistance than usual." the letter goes on to say, "airports should ensure that support offered meets the particular need of each passenger." jane believes her son's treatment shows airlines still haven't got the message. this is a real indication that they haven't done what they're meant to do. it angers me again because all they seem to do is support people with physical disabilities — which i understand they need the support, with being in a wheelchair — but why shouldn't people that have learning difficulties but are high functioning get the same support? chrissy sturt with that report. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london.

emergency departments in all london nhs hospitals will now offer routine hiv tests to anyone needing treatment. croydon university hospital has been piloting the opt—out testing. it has successfully identified people with undiagnosed hiv and has been able to offer effective early treatment. hepatitis b and c will also be checked as part of the combined blood—borne virus testing approach. because people are not expecting to receive a positive diagnosis, they may not know much about the life—saving treatment. and many of our patients, it can be a shock to them, but once we reassure them that this is actually a straightforward condition to manage, we have lots of effective treatments, and most people have a very good life expectancy. football clubs in the isthmian football league, who play in the seventh and eighth tier of the english football pyramid, are considering moving saturday afternoon fixtures forward to save energy costs. seven london—based clubs compete in the league's premier division, with several more playing in the tier below.

traditional 3pm kick—offs could be moved to either 12:30 or 2 o'clock to save money by avoiding using floodlights. an amber traffic warning has come into force today as thousands of carjourneys are expected to be made out of the capital over the bank holiday weekend. the warning has been issued by the aa, which estimates 15 million trips will be made across the country. families returning from summer holidays and people travelling to events will make this one of the busiest bank holidays on the roads. this weekend sees the return of the notting hill carnival to the streets of west london. the last time people came to the event was in 2019, due the pandemic. this year, with 84 mas bands performing in the streets alongside 38 sound systems, it will see the world famous carnival return to business as normal let's see how things are looking on the tube this morning. all lines are running well.

now the weather with kate kinsella. it's feeling a little fresher this morning. we do have high pressure starting to edge in from the west. but first, we have another front which will bring more cloud through the afternoon. but first thing this morning, some mist and fog patches out there, but a largely bright start with some sunshine. that front will bring more cloud through the afternoon, but staying dry, a few sunny spells, as well, and temperatures today getting up to 24 celsius. now, as we head into the evening, that cloud will gradually start to dissolve. so some clearer spells overnight. the wind is still light and, therefore, we may again see some mist and fog patches by dawn on saturday. minimum temperature — 12 to 15 celsius. so for saturday, high pressure settles to the north of the uk. so plenty of fine and dry weather. any mist and fog in the morning will lift. sunshine, largely. more cloud, perhaps, in the afternoon with the risk of a shower — that's further west of london — but largely dry. and temperatures tomorrow at 24 celsius. similar conditions for sunday. we develop a northeasterly flow. so perhaps along the thames estuary, a bit more cloud, perhaps a bit cooler there. similarfor monday, but temperatures

by the end of the weekend just a little bit cooler. that's it. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on the programme this morning. i will try to do this justice. contenders, ready. gladiators, ready. the tv show that drew in huge audiences on saturday nights in the '90s is making a comeback. we'll catch up with two of its stars. three, two, one, lift off. we'll meet the man who has spent more than a decade remastering images from the golden era of human space exploration for a new book. # hold me closer tiny dancer.

# count the headlights on the highway #. this on the highway #. is a new release from britney spears this is a new release from britney spears who has joined this is a new release from britney spears who hasjoined up this is a new release from britney spears who has joined up with this is a new release from britney spears who hasjoined up with elton john for the new release. 2016 since she last released record. at seven o'clock we get to the new price cap for energy for households in england, scotland and wales and find out how much their energy bills will increase on average in october. the energy regulator will announce the change in the price cap. that is the change in the price cap. that is the maximum amount companies can charge consumers for each unit of energy in the next half hour. seven o'clock is the official announcement. we will be talking to

hannah all morning. you are gauging how people currently feel now. energy bills have already risen but the reality is that the price cap comes in today, and in october they will be higher. yes, and we will be having a look in just a second at how those prices have changed over the past year and where they will go. good morning from the emmaus community cafe here in ipswich. we have brought together people who have seen the rising impact. we can see how much they have gone up. when the energy price cap was introduced in october, it set the typical household bill at £1,042. since then, it's been rising. up to £1,971 from april 2022. what's expected today? 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. and the worse news. it is unlikely to stop here with forecasts suggesting the price cap could be more than £4500 by january as prices continue to go up. so what impact is it having on people here in ipswich? i've been finding out. # it takes a worried man to sing a worried song #. we don't have the option to turn the heating down or turn the heating off or not put the kettle on for the carers, because my dad is just so, so vulnerable. 86—year—old chris philips has vascular dementia and alzheimer's and has to be fed via a tube. with no place available in a nursing home to meet his needs, he receives 24—hour support at home provided by a team of carers and his family. he gets cold all the time.

you can't turn the heating off. it's on through the night, it's on through the day. also, all the equipment that we have to use to meet his care needs has to be left on the whole time. the electricity costs have gone up significantly. we feel very invisible. and itjust seems very, very unfair that nobody�*s considering what an impact that's having on the most vulnerable families. we have oil heating. so the minute the bills started going up, we turned the heating off. we were cold, but we had to make that decision. claire already found it impossible to heat her home last winter. she has three children, including baby robyn, and hasn't worked since a car accident five years ago. they've already cut down on showers and washing to reduce their use of electricity. my partner does earn a good wage, but because i'm not working and because of the energy price increases, it's put us on the bread line.

whereas before, i wouldn't have said we were comfortable, but we weren't struggling, either. how do you feel as a mum about having to make the kinds of choices that you are making? the thing that upsets me is trying to explain to a seven and a four—year—old why they can't go out for the treats that they used to. why we can't afford the takeaways that they would normally have had. because we know what's coming. and, actually, things are already tight and we know that things are only going to get worse. so i am terrified that when the winter comes, we're not going to have enough for the bills. we went with claire to a community centre that is providing hot meals during the summer. there, we met stephen and cherie and two of their children who are also struggling to get by. some weeks i work up to seven days a week, sometimes up to 70 to 84 hours a week, to obviously pay for all the bills that go up. as an average, i earn about £400 a week, but, obviously, that doesn't cut the mustard

because of the prices going up. my partner, cherie, works as a carer. she works one or two days a week. every day is a constant worry. how am i going to have enough for my shopping bill this week? am i going to have enough money in the bank to top up my electric, top up my gas? so here at the fisher theatre, we used the cafe bar area here as one of our warm—room spaces last year. warm rooms are what it says on the tin. it was about providing a warm space for people to go to during the winter months where they didn't have to heat their homes during the time that they were here. are warm rooms part of the solution to the energy crisis this winter? i don't think we're a solution. i think we're an outcome of what's happened. we are what's happening as a result. i can't make the government do what they need to do, or force the energy companies to lower their bills. but i can help keep people warm. there you go. energy prices will go up just as temperatures start to fall, leaving many struggling to protect their loved ones from the harsh

reality of winter ahead. are you going to hold my hand? we will have a chat now with sean, tom and nikki. you work here. you are on the national living wage. how difficult are you finding it to meet your own energy bills at home? it is caettin your own energy bills at home? it 3 getting harder. ijust about manage each month but anything i expected that was not planned into the month and it knocks me. there have been things recently which has meant i have had to cancel direct debits this month i cannot pay. what have had to cancel direct debits this month i cannot pay. what kind of thins this month i cannot pay. what kind of things do _ this month i cannot pay. what kind of things do you — this month i cannot pay. what kind of things do you mind _ this month i cannot pay. what kind of things do you mind me - this month i cannot pay. what kind of things do you mind me asking? | of things do you mind me asking? that you are cancelling. things like loan payments because i have to prioritise rent and council tax. i needed new glasses and teeth work.

doing well in the cricket. finally looking in control. they lost the first test against south africa in three days. after all the promise in the summer and all that talk. they needed a new start in old trafford and who better thanjimmy anderson and stuart broad to get things going? james anderson and stuart broad took three wickets each as they bowled out south africa for 151, on day one of the second test at old trafford. and afterjonny bairstow helped steady a shaky start to their reply, they'll resume day two on 111 for three. our sports correspondent joe 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 forjust151, 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. commentator: thank you very much. 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. the us open gets under way on monday as emma raducanu returns

to defend her title. but she'll have to do it the hard way. the draw took place yesterday. first up for raducanu, who'll be seeded 11th, is world number 37 alize cornet. she is an experienced player with some notable results at the majors. meanwhile, the men's british number one, cameron norrie, is seeded seventh and plays frenchman benoit paire. one man who won't be there is 21—time major champion novak djokovic. he's pulled out of the tournament due to his unvaccinated status and the united states will not allow visitors who have not had the jab into the country. some intriguing contests have been thrown up by the champions league group draw. liverpool will play rangers in group a. manchester city's erling haaland will face his former club borussia dortmund, while chelsea will tackle ac milan. celtic will be off to spain to play

champions real madrid and tottenham face sporting lisbon. for all the details of the draw, visit the bbc sport website. it's the draw for the group stages of the europa league later, but hearts won't be included. they lost the second leg of their qualifier 1—0 against zurich — losing 3—1 on aggregate. a better night for west ham, who'll be in today'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. there was heartbreak for linfield as they were denied the opportunity of becoming the first irish league club to reach the group stage of a european competition. an own—goal from jimmy callacher in the last minute of extra time against latvia's rfs saw it finish 1—1 on the night and 3—3 on aggregate. the northern irish side went

on to lose 4—2 on penalties, as david healy�*s side miss out on the conference league draw later. absolutely heartbreaking. we are looking at the celebrations but for linfield in the final minute to end “p linfield in the final minute to end up with that draw because of an own goal, unthinkable. that is tough. cruel is the word. here's carol. good morning. good morning, a fresh start across southern england than in the past few, but some fog patches to watch out for here, some is dense. it will lift quickly. a lot starting with sunshine. cloud building through the day. this cloud moving to the continent brought the thunderstorms and torrential downpours yesterday. more cloud from the west, courtesy of this weather

front that will drift eastwards. but it is weak. starting cloudy in scotland, northern ireland, northern england, wales and the south—west with showers. later, the rain turns heavyin with showers. later, the rain turns heavy in southern scotland and cloud bills further east. in the west, it should brighten up and we will see late afternoon sunshine. breezy in the northern half of the country with temperatures ranging from 15-25. with temperatures ranging from 15—25. overnight, some showers, the cloud fragments. under clear skies, we will see fog forming. a weather front not too far away from northern ireland. you will see more cloud and spots of rain. tomorrow, it drifts further north, clipping the west of northern ireland in western scotland and again with the cloud and spots of rain. for many, a dry day with

sunshine and more cloud along the east coast. showers could get into central parts of england, but they will be isolated. temperatures 14-25. as will be isolated. temperatures 14—25. as we head on into the rest of the weekend, sunday, high pressure in charge. a weather front in the west bush's north so things will be settled but note the wind direction. more of a breeze down the north sea coastline and english channel. on sunday, a lot of dry weather with cloud building. cloudy conditions across the north west. the front pushing northwards bringing rain. temperatures, 12—24. as we head into monday, some will see a bank holiday on monday, looking fairly dry for most. a lot of dry weather, sunshine, and across the north and east, where we are exposed to the breeze, we will see more cloud and some of it will be

blown further west. the same as the english channel, you will notice it. in the west, dry and bright and in the west we will see the highest temperatures, especially the south—west. i think you will appreciate the story coming up because it is about images from the apollo mission, some of them of earth from space in the early days, so watch. thank you. remastered photographs that reveal extraordinary new details of humankind's first journey into space have been published for the first time. andy saunders spent more than 10,000 hours searching through images of the apollo mission, which, until now, have been locked away in nasa archives. rebecca morelle reports. three, two, one, zero. lift off. we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. the voice of presidentjohn f

kennedy on the apollo missions, which ushered in a golden era of human space exploration. the incredible images allowed the world to share the astronauts' experience of the lunar surface. houston, tranquility base here. the eagle have landed. but now the missions are being seen through a new lens, exposing some long—lost secrets. andy saunders has spent more than a decade trawling through 35,000 images held in nasa's archives, studying each one frame by frame. and even though some looked far from promising, what they contained was extraordinary. so this was an image of interest. so on quite a simple level, first of all, we just look and we'll build up and start to stretch that contrast and pull out... oh, my goodness. ..what is actually in that frame. and lo and behold, there's commanderjim mcdivitt on apollo 9 in 1969.

and what we saw as a window is actually a reflection of the docking window reflected on his bubble helmet. each image has been digitally restored and enhanced pixel by pixel to give us the clearest view we've ever had of the moon landings. from vistas of the cratered surface to the eagle lunar module and a glimpse of what everyday life was really like for the astronauts. and they've even revealed the golf ball lost on the lunar surface five decades ago, as alan shepard took his hobby into space. only ten hours of footage was captured during the entire apollo programme, but it's taken years to analyse. so this is apollo 13, which is the mission that didn't land on the moon, because of an explosion 200,000 miles from earth. and here they are on the way back, not really knowing if they're actually going to get home alive. each individualframe of the movie is matched with the next,

then overlaid and aligned. it means any random glitches and distortions can be removed, and, slowly, the details begin to emerge. that's an incredibly laborious process. that can take days to complete one of these images. but the reward is we can now almost step on board apollo 13. this hand here is the commander, jim lovell. so here he is as his crew are resting, sleeping, filming his spacecraft and his crew on the way back from the moon. it's one small step for man. one giant leap for mankind. this technique also revealed a rare image of the first man on the moon, where neil armstrong's face is visible forjust a moment. three years later, charlie duke was one of the last astronauts to make the journey. as one of only 12 people to have walked on the moon, he's been on hand to check whether the restored

pictures capture what the experience was really like. it's a spectacular terrain and the beauty of it. mostly greys, but sharp contrast between the blackness of space and the horizon of the moon. i'll never forget it. it was so dramatic. now others will soon get to see this for themselves. final preparations are under way for next week's test flight of nasa's new megarocket — the space launch system. eventually, it will be returning humans to the moon. try to get position here, then you've got it. for 50 years, we've been captivated by the apollo missions — witnesses to history as it unfolds. but, soon, the moon will be viewed through the eyes of a new generation. rebecca morelle, bbc news.

it is absolutely compelling. the longer you stay on the individual images and look at the detail and explanation of what is going on, amazing. only ten hours of footage. and only 12 people. the kind of thing you sort of know but when you think about it, 12 people to have ever walked on the moon. let it never be said this programme does not bring you an eclectic range of stories. we are going from space to snakes. not snakes in space. that would be different and alarming. this is alarming. if you do not like snakes perhaps make an early cup of tea because we will show you one. homeowners looked on in horror when they saw a huge 18ft python slithering its way through an open bedroom window. emily ford reports. i've lived here for 36 years and never seen anything like that. my husband, itold him — i said to him, "i think there's

a snake on the roof." he said, "don't be silly." it's definitely not every day that you see an 18ft burmese python making its way along your roof. i saw it move. then i saw the head come up and it started to move across the roof, across to the next house, where they had a window open, and started to go through. i was just going to get changed to go and tell the people when i saw them trying to poke it out and it fell on their car. this snake escaped from a house in chandlers ford early tuesday morning. she's like, "yeah, yeah. i've got pictures of it on the roof and going in the person's house." i was like, "what? !" while many residents in ribble close had no idea what to do, ex—firefighter linda elmer sprang into action. ijust went straight up to where the snake was, because everyone was, like, panicking. basically, i picked him up. none of them wanted to help,

so it was very difficult because he's a big snake. and, yeah, so i managed to like hobble down the road with this 18ft python wrapped around me and, yeah, knocked the owner's door and to wake him up to come and get the snake, basically. so, yeah, i think it was a shock for all of us. linda has owned snakes and even performed with them over the years. she recognised this particular reptile because it was her neighbour's. the most lovely snake i've been with. ijust showed you a picture of me cuddling him on the floor in january. mahoosive! but, yeah, he's beautiful. burmeses are very docile. they're not aggressive. much to everyone's relief, linda returned the snake to its owner safe and sound. a nice little adventure he had, going for a little walk. but, yeah, bless him. he's all tucked up in bed now. emily ford, bbc news. thank goodness for linda.

she stepped in. at least she knows how to handle a snake but it makes me wonder about that street in chandlers ford, how many snakes are in the street. joining us is dr ros clubb from the rspca's wildlife department. what was your reaction when you heard the story? i what was your reaction when you heard the story?— heard the story? i really felt for the person _ heard the story? i really felt for the person whose _ heard the story? i really felt for the person whose home - heard the story? i really felt for the person whose home it - heard the story? i really felt for the person whose home it was l heard the story? i really felt for - the person whose home it was trying to get into, it must have been an awful shock. the location was more unusual but we are used to dealing with escaped snakes. finding them in dishwashers, behind washing machines. i was not surprised because we get most calls about snakes in the summer months when it is warm and especially escaped snakes who have managed to escape. i said thank goodness for linda who has experience of working with snakes and so she knew what she was doing. the ultimate thing to do, if

you think you have seen a snake, call the rspca?— you think you have seen a snake, call the rspca? yes, if you think it is a non-native _ call the rspca? yes, if you think it is a non-native snake. _ call the rspca? yes, if you think it is a non-native snake. we - call the rspca? yes, if you think it is a non-native snake. we have - is a non—native snake. we have smaller native snakes, keep an eye on it and you can also try to get help from local reptile groups, even exotic specialists in your area. you need to know what you are doing, not to tackle it yourself, especially a snake of this size. unfortunately, we get quite a lot of escapes. we encourage owners to for instance microchip their snakes so we can reunite it because they are incredible escape artist. haste reunite it because they are incredible escape artist. we see the icture as incredible escape artist. we see the picture as it — incredible escape artist. we see the picture as it tries _ incredible escape artist. we see the picture as it tries to _ incredible escape artist. we see the picture as it tries to get _ incredible escape artist. we see the picture as it tries to get into - incredible escape artist. we see the picture as it tries to get into the - picture as it tries to get into the window. this is an 18 foot snake. there is a serious responsibility for someone who owns snakes and hopefully they take that seriously all the time, but you have to be

careful that you know where they are, it is a basic principle? yes. are, it is a basic principle? yes, definitely- _ are, it is a basic principle? yes, definitely. the _ are, it is a basic principle? yes, definitely. the rspca _ are, it is a basic principle? 1a: definitely. the rspca recommends double—checking enclosures are secure, no gaps. they can get through surprisingly small gaps. and we see some owners taking snakes into the garden in the hot weather to get sunlight, but then you have to get sunlight, but then you have to be extra cautious to ensure the area is secure. when they warm up they can be surprisingly fast. a secure environment and also for their own welfare, because these animals need 24 hour heating, specialist lighting and care. they cannot get that if they escape. find cannot get that if they escape. and most would — cannot get that if they escape. and most would not survive in the world. thank you for your time and expertise. scientific manager with the rspca. those pictures are

extraordinary. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. emergency departments in all london nhs hospitals will now offer routine hiv tests to anyone needing treatment. croydon university hospital has been piloting the opt—out testing. it has successfully identified people with undiagnosed hiv and been able to offer effective early treatment. hepatitis b and c will also be checked as part of the combined blood borne virus testing approach. because people are not expecting to receive a positive diagnosis, they may not know much about the life—saving treatment. and many of our patients, it can be a shock to them, but once we reassure them that this is actually a straightforward condition to manage, we have lots of effective treatments, and most people have a very good life expectancy. non—league football clubs are considering moving saturday afternoon fixtures forward to save energy costs.

seven london—based clubs compete in the izmiun league's premier division, with several more playing in the tier below. traditional 3pm kick—offs could be moved to either 12:30 or 2 o'clock to save money by avoiding using floodlights. an amber traffic warning has come into force today as thousands of car journeys are expected to be made out of the capital over the bank holiday weekend. the warning has been issued by the aa, which estimates 15 million trips will be made across the country. families returning from summer holidays and people travelling to events will make this one of the busiest bank holidays on the roads. this weekend sees the return of the notting hill carnival to the streets of west london. the last time people came to the event was in 2019 due the pandemic. this year, with 84 mass bands performing in the streets alongside 38 sound systems, it will see the world famous carnival return to business as normal let's have a look at the travel situation.

now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's feeling a little fresher this morning. we do have high pressure starting to edge in from the west. but first, we have another front which will bring more cloud through the afternoon. but first thing this morning, some mist and fog patches out there, but a largely bright start with some sunshine. that front will bring more cloud through the afternoon, but staying dry, a few sunny spells, as well, and temperatures today getting up to 24 celsius. now, as we head into the evening, that cloud will gradually start to dissolve. so some clearer spells overnight. the wind is still light and, therefore, we may again see some mist and fog patches by dawn on saturday. minimum temperature — 12 to 15 celsius. so for saturday, high pressure settles to the north of the uk. so plenty of fine and dry weather. any mist and fog in the morning will lift. sunshine, largely. more cloud, perhaps, in the afternoon with the risk of a shower — that's further west of london — but largely dry. and temperatures tomorrow at 24 celsius. similar conditions for sunday.

we develop a northeasterly flow. so perhaps along the thames estuary, a bit more cloud, perhaps a bit cooler there. similarfor monday, but temperatures by the end of the weekend just a little bit cooler. that's it. dont forget you can download the bbc news app, or ask your smartspeaker anytime to "play bbc news for london". bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. millions of households are preparing for a huge rise in energy bills — we'll find out in just a few minutes what we'll have to pay from october as ofgem announces a new price cap. it is going to be a difficult winter for many, many people. we havejust had that new energy price cap for

the typical bill will meet to £3549. the family of olivia pratt—korbel who was shot dead by a gunman speak of their heartbreak as merseyside police vow to find her killer. england are on top against south africa. james anderson and stuart broad take three wickets each on the first day of the second test at old trafford. contenders, ready? gladiators, ready? the biggest show of the '90s is back and being rebooted for a new generation — we'll talk to two former gladiators about the remake. some mist and fog to watch out for this morning, some is dense, especially across south—east england. many starting off with sunshine but cloud already in the north and west will drift eastwards through the day with some showery outbreaks of rain here and there. i will tell you where you can expect

them later in the programme. it's friday august 26th. it has just been announced that the average household will pay 3549 pounds per year for average household will pay 3549 pounds per yearfor their average household will pay 3549 pounds per year for their energy from october. ofgem announcing the new price cap. that is the maximum price consumers can be charged for each unit of energy. that works out at a rise of more than 80% from the position and the amounts people are paying now on average usage. average usaue paying now on average usage. average usage currently — paying now on average usage. average usage currently is _ paying now on average usage. average usage currently is around _ paying now on average usage. average usage currently is around £1900 - paying now on average usage. average usage currently is around £1900 per. usage currently is around £1900 per year, this has now gone up... that hasjust come through. year, this has now gone up... that has just come through. 3549. largely in line with what was expected. our business correspondence hannah is in ipswich, getting reaction from

people already concerned about how to make ends meet. when it comes to bills now and those expected, this will hit so many households so hard. there were audible gasps in this room when ijust said that the average typical annual household bill will rise to £3549. i figure we had largely been expecting, largely in line with what had been predicted but that doesn't make it any the less shocking. it means the amount that energy companies are allowed to charge will rise by more than £1500 from october. that is the amount they are allowed to charge per year. it means that that amount will have more than tripled since the first price cap was introduced last october. we have heard from people this morning about the impact that the energy bills rising has already had, the choices they are having to make, and charities say that this figure will mean some people have to

choose between heating and eating. it is likely also to have a lot of pressure on the new prime minister when they take office in just under two weeks. we will be getting more reaction injust a minute or so, but firstjo black has been speaking to people about what they have already been seeing. the waterfront at ipswich. but behind the attractive facade and expensive boats, some people in this town are starting to struggle with their living costs, and are fearful about what's to come. basically, i've got two things. one is that, obviously... at a citizens advice bureau drop—in session, we find marina — a former care worker. she has long covid, anxiety and depression. no longer in work, she's applied for universal credit, is £875 in rent arrears, and often sits in the dark to save money. to actually fear, every day, how you're meant to live... it's just something else.

didn't think i'd get this age and be worried about things like this. you just think it's going to be normal. i don't think it'll ever go back to how it was. will gas prices always be high? well, no, because eventually we've got to stop using it altogether. so this is a wake—up call of the direction we're going in. but for now, people are planning for trickier times ahead. andrew at the hot sausage company in ipswich town centre hasn't replaced a worker who's just left, and he's diversifying — doing weddings and corporate events. he says his stock prices have shot up 20%. we put our prices up last year, and we've had to put them up again this year — only by small incremental amounts, but you're scared of putting your prices up because you feel you might lose market share. five miles outside ipswich, the village of chattisham, and the rural coffee caravan is on its monthly visit. alongside the tea and cake, this charity signposts people

to various services — and rising energy prices aren't far from people's minds. well, if i can't afford it, i won't put it on because i won't get into debt — i've never been in debt in my life. i'd just cut back on food, as well, if i had to. i'd have a tin of soup and a roll! and, you know, hopefully that would warm you up! citizens advice predict, by october, a quarter of us won't be able to afford ourfuel bills — with even more people hitting financial hardship in the new year. jo black, bbc news, ipswich. that 80% rise in the price cap as it stands at the moment wale, of course, piled pressure on the new prime minister. the typical household will be paying approximately £750 per year more than when they worked out how much support to offer. the government of course say they have been developing

options for further support but it will be in two weeks or so until we find out what that is. i am joined by clare and helen. we heard earlier about how it is impossible for you to use less energy. what do you make of the figure? it to use less energy. what do you make of the figure?— of the figure? it has made me feel -h sicall of the figure? it has made me feel physically ill— of the figure? it has made me feel physically ill to _ of the figure? it has made me feel physically ill to hear _ of the figure? it has made me feel physically ill to hear that. - of the figure? it has made me feel physically ill to hear that. it - of the figure? it has made me feel physically ill to hear that. it is - physically ill to hear that. it is even higher than i think we were expecting. just really concerned about the extra pressure at this will put on my vulnerable family and it's a worry we shouldn't have, basically. but it's there, nothing we can do about it.— basically. but it's there, nothing we can do about it. clare, do you want to talk— we can do about it. clare, do you want to talk to _ we can do about it. clare, do you want to talk to us _ we can do about it. clare, do you want to talk to us about - we can do about it. clare, do you want to talk to us about your - want to talk to us about your situation and what you make of an 80% rise in the price cap. it is scary because _ 80% rise in the price cap. it is scary because the _ 80% rise in the price cap. it is scary because the price - 80% rise in the price cap. it is scary because the price cap is the tip of— scary because the price cap is the tip of the — scary because the price cap is the tip of the iceberg. supermarkets are going _ tip of the iceberg. supermarkets are going to _ tip of the iceberg. supermarkets are going to have to raise their prices, then— going to have to raise their prices, then people need to be any more, which _ then people need to be any more, which means employers have to pass that on— which means employers have to pass that on to _ which means employers have to pass that on to someone. it isjust the

will get more reaction from here in ipswich at this community cafe as the day goes on. there will be plenty of people hoping the government reacts to this. when they announced their support, the price cap was expected to be much lower than we now know it will be from october. . ~ than we now know it will be from october. ., ,, , ., than we now know it will be from october. . ~' , ., ~ than we now know it will be from october. ., ,, , ., ~ ., than we now know it will be from october. ., ,, ~ ., ., october. thank you. we have asked to seak october. thank you. we have asked to s - eak to october. thank you. we have asked to seak to a october. thank you. we have asked to speak to a member _ october. thank you. we have asked to speak to a member of _ october. thank you. we have asked to speak to a member of the _ october. thank you. we have asked to speak to a member of the government and we were told nobody would be available for this programme. in among which we will speak to the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves. to recap, the energy price cap, so this is the price cap per unit, for energy used. that has risen and it means the average household bill will be £3549 per year, which compares to 1971 pounds per year, and that kicks in from the 1st of october. . and that kicks in from the 1st of october. , , , , ., october. this represents in real terms, october. this represents in real terms. and _ october. this represents in real

let's bring you up—to—date with the rest of the day's news. the family of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, who was killed in liverpool on monday, says "now is the time" for anyone who knows anything about her killer to come forward. olivia was shot when a gunman burst into her house during a chase. one man has been arrested but her killer has still not been traced. john maguire is in liverpool for us this morning. very good morning to you. we have now heard from the family directly for the first time.— for the first time. that's right. we had a sense. _ for the first time. that's right. we had a sense. i— for the first time. that's right. we had a sense, i think, _ for the first time. that's right. we had a sense, i think, of— for the first time. that's right. we had a sense, i think, of the - for the first time. that's right. we had a sense, i think, of the type i for the first time. that's right. we | had a sense, i think, of the type of young girl that olivia was with some of those lovely photos of the family that they released over the last few days but this is the first time they have told us about her, what she meant to them and a little bit about her personality. they called her liv, that was the family nickname for her. they described her as a unique, chatty, nosy little girl who broke the mould when she was born.

now is the time to speak up, they say to those who may know what happened on monday night. that last line, "who took our baby from us", i think that gives an insight into the terrible unimaginable grief that the family must be experiencing at the moment, but also the desperation that that message still needs to get out to the wider community, somebody must know who pulled the trigger, who ordered it, who is hiding, he was protecting the people responsible. the police are saying they will not rest until they find out exactly who was responsible for

the shooting here in kingsheath avenue on monday night. you can still see police officers here, this section of the road wouldn't, the forensic tent in the distance and lots of the floral tributes are growing, soft toys, notes from other family members and also from other parts of the country, from strangers, and i noticed one from a young child. imagine that family trying to describe to their child exactly what happened to olivia here on monday night and trying to explain why it happened. back to you. explain why it happened. back to ou. ., ., ., ~ the president of ukraine says europe faced the prospect of a radiation disaster on thursday when a russian—occupied nuclear plant was disconnected from the country's power grid. for several hours yesterday, electricity needed for cooling was cut off — apparently by fire damage to overhead cables. president volodomyr zelensky said the zaporizhzhia plant was only able to operate safely when back—up electricity kicked in. there is growing concern over

dramatic storms, spectacular sunsets and scenes of climate change all feature in this year's shortlist for the annual weather photographer of the year. photographers from more than 100 countries have taken part — the royal meteorological society will announce the winner in october. let's take a look at a few of the shortlisted images. this one's called storm eunice, sent in by christopher from west sussex. it shows a lighthouse in the background of huge waves. enric took this one in barcelona and has called it dream lightning. he captured the last lightning strike as a storm moved away. this sunrise was taken in poland by krzysztof and is called frosty winter sunrise.

an "unacceptable discharge of sewage" has been released into the river dee by welsh water, putting wildlife at "huge risk". the river dee is right on our doorstep, and it happens to be one of the most internationally important river systems that we have in the uk for wildlife. we've got about 50 larvae at the moment, and we are hoping to build those numbers up and eventually bring them back to the river system. but we need a clean river to be able to do that. there's a whole system called the sustainable drainage system, which involves improving drainage systems so that we don't have to discharge sewage into rivers and seas. and we really do think that water companies should be taking that seriously. a spokesperson from welsh water said they regularly carry out cleaning work on their sewers to ensure they are free of obstructions and they have reached out to chester zoo to request a meeting. we'rejoined now by hugo tagholm, chief executive of surfers against sewage.

good of you to join us this morning. are you seeing any improvement? the water companies have been challenged and they say they are spending money on doing this, they say they are stopping leaks and they say they are across this sewage. what are you seeing? i across this sewage. what are you seeinu ? ~ . . across this sewage. what are you seeinu ? ~' , , ,, ., ~ seeing? i think the numbers speak for themselves. _ seeing? i think the numbers speak for themselves. in _ seeing? i think the numbers speak for themselves. in 2021 _ seeing? i think the numbers speak for themselves. in 2021 alone - seeing? i think the numbers speak| for themselves. in 2021 alone water companies were responsible for discharging sewage pollution for over 2.6 million hours on 370,000 separate events. that is whyjust 14% of our rivers meet a good ecological status and sadly, despite the progress we have made around the coastline, our bathing water, bottom of the european table. it is clear we are using storm overflows far too much and water companies relying on them to dispose of pollution. ltrufheh them to dispose of pollution. when ou see them to dispose of pollution. when you see these _ them to dispose of pollution. when you see these images, _ them to dispose of pollution. when you see these images, it _ them to dispose of pollution. when you see these images, it is - you see these images, it is genuinely worrying and i know you

leaks _ the latest information on sewage leaks in — the latest information on sewage leaks in rivers, specifically the river — leaks in rivers, specifically the river dee _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. emergency departments in all london nhs hospitals will now offer routine hiv tests to anyone needing treatment. croydon university hospital has been piloting the opt—out testing. it has successfully identified people with undiagnosed hiv and been able to offer effective early treatment. hepatitis b and c will also be checked as part of the combined blood—borne virus testing approach. because people are not expecting to receive a positive diagnosis, they may not know much about the life—saving treatment. and many of our patients, it can be a shock to them, but once we reassure them that this is actually a straightforward condition to manage, we have lots of effective treatments, and most people have a very good life expectancy.

football clubs in the isthmian football league — who play in the seventh and eighth tier of the english football pyramid — are considering moving saturday afternoon fixtures forward to save energy costs. seven london—based clubs compete in the league's premier division, with several more playing in the tier below. traditional 3pm kick—offs could be moved to either 12:30 or 2 o'clock to save money by avoiding using floodlights. an amber traffic warning has come into force today as thousands of car journeys are expected to be made out of the capital over the bank holiday weekend. the warning has been issued by the aa which estimates 15 million trips will be made across the country. families returning from summer holidays and people travelling to events will make this one of the busiest bank holidays on the roads. this weekend sees the return of the notting hill carnival to the streets of west london. 2019. this year, with 84 mas bands performing in the streets alongside 38 sound systems, it will see the world famous carnival return to business as normal.

travel now. all lines of running a good service. it's feeling a little fresher this morning. we do have high pressure starting to edge in from the west. but first, we have another front which will bring more cloud through the afternoon. but first thing this morning, some mist and fog patches out there, but a largely bright start with some sunshine. that front will bring more cloud through the afternoon, but staying dry, a few sunny spells, as well, and temperatures today getting up to 24 celsius. now, as we head into the evening, that cloud will gradually start to dissolve. so some clearer spells overnight. the wind is still light and, therefore, we may again see some mist and fog patches by dawn on saturday. minimum temperature — 12 to 15 celsius. so for saturday, high pressure settles to the north of the uk. so plenty of fine and dry weather. any mist and fog in the morning will lift. sunshine, largely. more cloud, perhaps, in the afternoon with the risk of a shower —

that's further west of london — but largely dry. and temperatures tomorrow at 24 celsius. similar conditions for sunday. we develop a northeasterly flow. so perhaps along the thames estuary, a bit more cloud, perhaps a bit cooler there. similarfor monday, but temperatures by the end of the weekend just a little bit cooler. that's it. dont forget you can download the bbc news app. or ask your smartspeaker anytime to "play bbc news for london". i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. inafew in a few minutes we will speak to ofgem. you might be aware the announcement this morning that the annual average price cap on energy prices, the average household bill will be capped at £3549, which

represents approximately an 80% rise. we will speak to ofgem in a few minutes. holly has all the sport. cricket, success. england finally looking in control. they lost the first test against south africa in three days and needed a good at old trafford. england will look to build a big lead on day two of the second test against south africa at old trafford. their bowlers prospered after the tourists elected to bat. jimmy anderson claimed three wickets, as did stuart broad with south africa skittled out forjust 151. but england's reply took time to crank into gear and lost three wickets before the close, including joe root who was dismissed forjust 9. england are 111 for 3. south africa lead the 3 match series 1—0. britain's heather watson and pauljubb are both just one win away from a place in the first round of the us open. they play in the final

round of qualifying later. the grand slam main draw gets under way on monday with emma raducanu returning to defend her title. the draw took place yesterday. first up for raducanu, who'll be seeded 11th, is world number 37 alize cornet. meanwhile, the men's british number one cameron norrie is seeded seventh and plays frenchman benoit paire. one man who won't be there is 21—time major champion novak djokovic. he's pulled out of the tournament due to his unvaccinated status, and the united states will not allow visitors who have not had the jab into the country. hearts have to settle for a place in the europa conference league draw today after losing to zurich last night. west ham are also in it. they beat danish side viborg 3—0 in the second leg of their qualifier — progressing 6—1 on aggregate.

linfield were just seconds away from becoming the first irish league club to reach the group stage of a european competition. but, an own—goal fromjimmy callacher in the last minute of extra time sent it to a penalty shootout. 1—1 on the night, 3—3 on aggregate, however, latvia's rfs beat the northern irish side 4—2 on penalties. utterly heartbreaking. if you want to find out the details about the draw, it is available on the bbc sport website and app. in the last half hour, we've heard the average household will pay £3,549 annually for their energy, after the regulator announced an 80% rise in the price cap. we're joined now by the chief executive of ofgem — jonathan brearley. thank you for your time. an important day and a lot of people

will be reeling from the information. we gave the outline of the figures. would you run through them for us? let the figures. would you run through them for us?— the figures. would you run through them for us? let me start by saying i know them for us? let me start by saying i know today's _ them for us? let me start by saying i know today's news _ them for us? let me start by saying i know today's news will _ them for us? let me start by saying i know today's news will be - i know today's news will be devastating for many families. let me explain about what is happening in the market and why prices are changing so dramatically. already last year, we saw economy is growing fast as countries came out of covid which saw a price spike that led to some of the rises we saw in april. the problem is, above that, we have seen a slow and deliberate shutdown of gas to europe from one of its normally reliable suppliers russia. it means we are seeing incredible price spikes in the market. when i look at what it costs this winter, gas is 15 times the normal price are expected to pay two years ago. if it happened in petrol it would cost £400, £500 to fill up our car.

because the costs are changing the price needs to change and that is why the cap has changed to £3549. why do you not protect the consumer by having a lower price cap? the reason we _ by having a lower price cap? the reason we do — by having a lower price cap? t“ie: reason we do not have a lower price cap is if the companies cannot recover the amount of money it costs to buy the energy, ultimately they would be unable to function. unable to give us the energy we need. the price cap, it stops those companies charging excess profits over and above the cost of energy but what it cannot do is set a price less than the cost of the energy we buy. that is why we have to make the changes we are making today. i accept it is devastating news. what we are saying todayis devastating news. what we are saying today is we have ten days until we have a new administration, new prime minister and prime ministerial team.

we think the government with support of the industry and ngos needs to act urgently to address the situation. because the difficult news i have to give, when i look at what is happening later this year and next year, there is significant price pressure. we want to work with the new government to address this and look after customers this winter. . . and look after customers this winter. , , , , , winter. this is interesting because ou cuite winter. this is interesting because you guite rightly— winter. this is interesting because you quite rightly referenced - winter. this is interesting because you quite rightly referenced the i you quite rightly referenced the problem politically, which is we are waiting a new prime minister. we are hearing plans from the two people who would be prime minister. have you as an organisation, because you are dipping yourtoe you as an organisation, because you are dipping your toe into politics here because you are seeing you need to see something to help people. have you seen a plan that would deliver what you are asking for, protection for consumers? let deliver what you are asking for, protection for consumers? let me be clear, it is protection for consumers? let me be clear. it is not _ protection for consumers? let me be clear, it is not the _ protection for consumers? let me be clear, it is not the job _ protection for consumers? let me be clear, it is not the job of— protection for consumers? let me be clear, it is not the job of a _ clear, it is not the job of a regulator... clear, it is not the 'ob of a

the problems before us. to decisive and we need to get ahead of the problems before us.— the problems before us. to me, listenin: the problems before us. to me, listening to _ the problems before us. to me, listening to you, _ the problems before us. to me, listening to you, and _ the problems before us. to me, listening to you, and i'm - the problems before us. to me, listening to you, and i'm trying i the problems before us. to me, i listening to you, and i'm trying to think what it feels like for people at home, it feels like a veil of secrecy. talking to you this morning, i think you know what possibilities there are for action. can you tell us what is the thing you know would make a difference, what will you recommend to the incoming prime minister? this what will you recommend to the incoming prime minister? this is for the politicians. _ incoming prime minister? this is for the politicians. it _ incoming prime minister? this is for the politicians. it is _ incoming prime minister? this is for the politicians. it is about _ incoming prime minister? this is for the politicians. it is about big - the politicians. it is about big decisions elected ministers will need to make. it is not myjob to lay out the plans. we have time to wait but i am confident if we work together we will get ahead of this this winter. i cannot pre—empt a decision that rightly is made by an elected official. i decision that rightly is made by an elected official.— elected official. i will push you on this and i hope _ elected official. i will push you on this and i hope you _ elected official. i will push you on this and i hope you appreciate - elected official. i will push you on i this and i hope you appreciate why. i would like to know what you see as the tools, what are the principles

available? there have been discussions... and i am not tempting you to get into politics but you know that some people say to put a freeze on bills. what are the tools you, ofgem, see as possibilities? ii you, ofgem, see as possibilities? if i put it in broad terms, we are a regulator and will do everything we can but we do not have powers to change the law, to change tax, to spend public money. those are the options in front of ministers when they need to make the choices, when they need to make the choices, when the new prime minister comes in. but thatis the new prime minister comes in. but that is a matter for them. my point is simple. it is a difficult situation, tough for customers. the government has put in a package of support but given what we are announcing and given what we will see in winter, more will need to be done but ultimately what is done is for ministers. i done but ultimately what is done is for ministers.— for ministers. i appreciate the oint for ministers. i appreciate the point you _ for ministers. i appreciate the point you are _ for ministers. i appreciate the point you are making. - for ministers. i appreciate the | point you are making. looking

for ministers. i appreciate the i point you are making. looking on for ministers. i appreciate the - point you are making. looking on the ofgem website there is a line people might refer to relating to people really struggling. worried about the future. as i understand, in your rules, suppliers must work with you the customer to agree on a payment plan you can afford under ofgem rules. can you explain that? people will be going now is what i can afford. i cannot afford more. are these suppliers are required by your rules to agree to a payment plan the customer thinks is what they can pay? customer thinks is what they can .a ? , customer thinks is what they can pay? accompany... a customer in arrears, pay? accompany... a customer in arrears. who — pay? accompany... a customer in arrears, who runs _ pay? accompany... a customer in arrears, who runs update, - pay? accompany... a customer in arrears, who runs update, must l pay? accompany... a customer in l arrears, who runs update, must be put on affordable payment plan. those are the rules may apply. right now, we are running a compliance review to check all the things company should do to make sure they look after vulnerable customers. when we come back to the price cap,

we do need to reflect legitimate costs and that is what we are doing. we are saying more support will be needed and that means action between government, the industry, ofgem and ngos to make sure all play their part in looking after customers. this is a big change in prices we face. it is a challenge for the country and only by everyone working together will we tackle it for customers. together will we tackle it for customers-— together will we tackle it for customers. . ., ., ., customers. can i go back to what you said a moment _ customers. can i go back to what you said a moment ago _ customers. can i go back to what you said a moment ago so _ customers. can i go back to what you said a moment ago so people - customers. can i go back to what you said a moment ago so people are - said a moment ago so people are clear. people watching this morning will think, what do i do? you said the suppliers have to come up with an affordable payment plan. who determines what is affordable? if i say this is what i can pay, is that what they have to agree to? we are getting to the point, october the 1st, people need to know this. what are their rights? as a householder, can i say this is what i can pay,

you have to agree to it? this can i say this is what i can pay, you have to agree to it?- you have to agree to it? this is ultimately _ you have to agree to it? this is ultimately a — you have to agree to it? this is ultimately a discussion - you have to agree to it? this is| ultimately a discussion between you have to agree to it? this is - ultimately a discussion between the company and customer. ultimately, the repayment plan for arrears needs to be affordable but clearly there are options for customers and companies if customers are struggling to pay. given what we are seeing today, there are schemes company should give you access to. the £400 discount, further payments through the benefit system, warm home discount. work with your company to make sure you have access to everything you need to tackle the crisis. many companies have schemes to support customers who are vulnerable. my point is simple. given the price changes, and everything happening in the market and what might happen this winter, more will need to be done. we cannot expect the industry to fund that. it needs to be funded in combination with the regulator, industry, ngos,

but it needs government action that needs to be urgent and decisive. people getting their heads around these figures for october the 1st will be interested in what people who know the market well predict for next year. those who have accurately predicted the rise today, they are suggesting, and i will put this number to you, next year, this figure, the 3500 and... i'm sorry, the new figure could rise to over £6,600 in the middle of next year. does that sound to you like a figure that could be reached? i does that sound to you like a figure that could be reached?— does that sound to you like a figure that could be reached? i would treat an fiaure that could be reached? i would treat any figure that _ that could be reached? i would treat any figure that talks _ that could be reached? i would treat any figure that talks about _ that could be reached? i would treat any figure that talks about january i any figure that talks about january or april with caution. the market is genuinely changing day by day. those companies that accurately predicted today's figure did it recently. it was not what they were saying two

months ago. this market is volatile. we do not put out a figure because things change so much. what i can say and what we know, there is significant further pricing pressure in the system. it is possible there may be peace between russia and ukraine, things might change and prices stabilise or come down but it is more likely prices will continue to rise. putting a number on it at this stage is speculation. that to rise. putting a number on it at this stage is speculation.- this stage is speculation. that is interesting _ this stage is speculation. that is interesting because _ this stage is speculation. that is interesting because people - this stage is speculation. that is interesting because people are i interesting because people are trying to work out how they can cope. your prediction is in one direction. if we assume this situation stays as it is with the situation stays as it is with the situation with ukraine, then it is an upward spiral? brute situation with ukraine, then it is an upward spiral?— situation with ukraine, then it is an upward spiral? we are seeing siunificant an upward spiral? we are seeing significant pricing _ an upward spiral? we are seeing significant pricing pressure - an upward spiral? we are seeing| significant pricing pressure which is why we say there is an opportunity here for ofgem, the industry, government and ngos to come together to get ahead of this

problem this winter. i am confident, particularly because we are working closely with the government and working on options for ministers to review and decide, that we will get through this. but it will require urgent action by the new prime minister and team to make sure all of us work together to achieve that. thank you for your time. the chief executive of ofgem. running through the detail of that announcement this morning. hannah is at a community centre and talking to people who are digesting the news of the new energy price cap. we will speak to martin lewis and get practical information. charlie asking about how companies will deal with consumers who cannot afford bills. martin lewis will be with us at 8:30am and we will put questions to him and ask questions about what can be done to ease

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. the energy price cap rises by more than 80% to £3,549 a yearfrom october. it's actually made me feel ill, physically ill, to hear that figure. it is physically ill, to hear that figure. it is even — physically ill, to hear that figure. it is even higher i think that we were _ it is even higher i think that we were expecting. just really concerned about the extra pressure this is— concerned about the extra pressure this is going to put on my vulnerable family. the energy regulator tells bbc breakfast the government must do something. we think that the government, with our support, with the support of the industry, with the support of ngos, need to act urgently and decisively to address the situation that's before us.

and while that music sinks in, here at this community cafe in ipswich, now a new prediction that the energy price cap could be even higher by january. the family of olivia pratt—korbel, who was shot dead by a gunman, speak of their heartbreak as merseyside police vow to find her killer. england are on top against south africa. james anderson and stuart broad take three wickets each on the first day of the second test at old trafford. space as you've never seen it — we'll speak to the man who's remastered these amazing images of the apollo missions. good morning. the to the day with mist and fog patches around which will lift quite rapidly, then we have cloud building from the west with some of us seeing some showery outbreaks of rain. i will have all the details later in the programme.

good morning. it's friday august 26th. our main story. in the last hour it's been announced the average household will pay £3,549 a year for their energy from october. the regulator ofgem announced the new price cap this morning — that's the maximum amount companies can charge consumers for each unit of energy. our business correspondent hannah miller is in ipswich getting some reaction. we heard from people saying they feel ill, actually physically ill, from hearing this, because already it is tough and the cost of energy is already hitting pockets hide. yeah, i think we were expecting this figure, but that doesn't make it any the less shocking. people we have been speaking to this morning. if we take a step back it means the average household on a direct debit will be paying almost £300 per month

just on their gas and electricity. if you use more, you are built could be even higher. these figures are for direct debit payments, people on prepayment metres will pay about £5 per month more than we are talking about when we discuss these figures. it means the amount companies are allowed to charge by the typical average household annual energy bill will have more than tripled since the price cap was first introduced last october. it's been described this morning by charities as unthinkable, catastrophic. you heard there were gasps here when the figure was first announced. we will be looking at why it is happening and getting more reaction from here injust a moment but and getting more reaction from here in just a moment but first here is a round—up of what we have learned so far this morning. we've known for months it was coming, but, in the last hour, it's been confirmed — the average household fuel bill will be £3,549 from october. the cap is set by the energy regulator ofgem and is the maximum

amount companies can charge customers for each unit of energy. ofgem has acknowledged the situation as deeply worrying for many people. i accept this is devastating news for many families out there. so what we're also saying today is we have ten days, now, until we will have a new administration, a new prime minister and a new ministerial team. now, we think that the government, with our support, with the support of the industry, with the support of ngos, needs to act urgently and decisively to address the situation that's before us. because the difficult news i have to give is, when i look at what's happening later on this year — and potentially into next year — there is still significant price pressure. and, basically, i've got two things. citizens advice have predicted a quarter of us won't be able to afford our fuel bills by the autumn. the struggle with living costs has already begun for marina. she's a former carer who can't work because she has long covid. she's at the citizens advice bureau

in ipswich to apply for universal credit, and often sits in the dark to try to save money. to actually fear every day how you're meant to live... it's just something else. didn't think i'd get to this age and be worried about things like this. you just think it's going to be normal. but there are people trying to help. near ipswich, the rural coffee caravan is on its rounds. it's a charity which signposts people to various services that can help, and rising energy prices is the main concern. well, if i can't afford it, i won't put it on, because i won't get into debt — i've never been in debt in my life. i'd just cut back on food, as well, if i had to. i'd have a tin of soup and a roll. and, you know, hopefully, that would warm you up. today's rise is the largest single increase in the price cap, but most experts predict another is on the way injanuary. frances reed, bbc news.

on the subject of a further rise in the price cap from january, cornwall insight, he predicted this rise more or less banged on, they have released a new focus forjanuary this morning which is a price cap of 5387 pounds. absolutely astonishing sums of money that people could be paying for their energy injanuary. the government has previously announced some support that will come into place over this winter but the support package that they have announced will now convert less than half of the rise in bills over the next year. i am joined byjohn taylor, counsel energy adviser, and tim from the civic community foundation. good morning. john, why is this happening? it foundation. good morning. john, why is this happening?— is this happening? it comes down to come as a country, _ is this happening? it comes down to come as a country, we _ is this happening? it comes down to

zahawi sees he is working flat out to develop options what the next prime minister stop they will come into office on the 5th of september. there are calls across the political spectrum for swift action. we had from the first minister of scotland nicola sturgeon who says this cannot be allowed to go ahead, the price cap rise in october has to be cancelled. the snp once parliament is recalled to debate the lib dems want the windfall tax on oil and gas companies extended in order to get rid of this price cap rise. that is a position supported by labour, as well. we had this morning from their shadow chancellor rachel reeves. these astronomical increases in prices — these astronomical increases in prices it— these astronomical increases in prices it is— these astronomical increases in prices. it is a striking fear into the hearts— prices. it is a striking fear into the hearts of the family right across— the hearts of the family right across the country, and that is why labour— across the country, and that is why labour are — across the country, and that is why labour are saying the government must _ labour are saying the government must act. — labour are saying the government must act, they must freeze gas and electricity— must act, they must freeze gas and electricity prices through the winter— electricity prices through the winter stop they should pay for that with an _ winter stop they should pay for that with an extension of the windfall tax on _ with an extension of the windfall tax on the —

support through the welfare system to the most vulnerable and pensioners, but what he has not given is a number of the support he will be giving so we have a new prime minister taking office shortly, it will be one of these two, but no clarity exactly what support will be coming.- two, but no clarity exactly what support will be coming. david, thank ou ve support will be coming. david, thank you very much- _ support will be coming. david, thank you very much. those _ support will be coming. david, thank you very much. those political- you very much. those political decisions are hugely important but may be more important this morning is immediately getting advice and knowing what to do if you are struggling. we'll be getting advice and analysis from the money saving expert martin lewis at 8:30. you will have seen it many times, talking about this a lot. he knows all of the ins and outs, what is available and how you can be helped. do get your calls in, and if you have questions we will try to deal with some of those for you. the family of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, who was killed in liverpool on monday, says "now is the time" for anyone who knows anything about her killer to come forward. olivia was shot when a gunman burst into her house during a chase. one man has been arrested, but her

killer has still not been traced. john maguire is in liverpool for us this morning. ican i can see the flowers that have been made in memory of olivia and the condolences with the family, and it is the first time we have heard from this family that has been devastated.— this family that has been devastated. ., , ., ., �* devastated. yeah, you are right. i'm in kingsheath _ devastated. yeah, you are right. i'm in kingsheath avenue _ devastated. yeah, you are right. i'm in kingsheath avenue where - devastated. yeah, you are right. i'm in kingsheath avenue where the - in kingsheath avenue where the shooting took place on monday night. those floral tributes are behind us. we have a sense of what olivia was like as little girl from some the family photographs that have been released over the last couple of days. clearly a fun loving bright little girl but this now puts words to those pictures, if you like, with statements that the family have released. they described her as a unique, chatty, nosy little girl who broke the mould when she was born. they knew her as a liv, the family nickname for her. they say...

asi as i have been saying all morning, that last line, who took our baby away from us, it's not only to their unimaginable grief but also as a direct appeal to the community, to the wider community in the city of liverpool to identify, to tell the police exactly who was not only responsible for pulling the trigger on monday night, but perhaps who ordered it, who is protecting the people who were involved, why haven't these people yet been caught? we have heard over the last

couple of days that certain names, or at least a name have been given to the police several times, i have heard from several different sources, so they feel as if they are making progress with their investigation. there have been scenes of crime officers, forensics working here over the last couple of days. yesterday, as well. clearly the investigation continuing a quick note on a couple the other shooting incidents in the city that the police are investigating. the death of 28—year—old ashley dale, shot in her back garden, who died in hospital a couple of days later. two people have been arrested in connection with that investigation. the shooting of sam rimmer, 22—year—old, three men arrested in his case have been released on bail. as i say, thoughts certainly here are with olivia, liv, sounded like a fantastic little girl stopped and if nothing else, that will hopefully prompt people to come forward and to

be able to bring the people responsible for her murder to justice. responsible for her murder to 'ustice. . ~' , ., the president of ukraine says europe faced the prospect of a radiation disaster on thursday when a russian—occupied nuclear plant was disconnected from the country's power grid. the plant was only allowed to operate safely went back up kicks in. his growing concern over fighting the complex, the largest in europe. more than 100,000 postal workers are going on strike this morning in a dispute over pay. it is the first of four days of industrial action, with walkouts also taking place on 31st august and the 8th and 9th of september. royal mail says it has put contingency plans in place to minimise disruption. china has been experiencing a record heatwave, with drought in parts of the country threatening crops and drying up riverbeds. for the last 12 days, officials have issued a national red alert because temperatures have risen to more than 40 degrees. our china correspondent

stephen mcdonell has more. in august, laoye temple is normally surrounded by water. this year, you can walk to it across the dry bed of poyang lake. for 70 days, the yangtze river basin has been caught in a record heat wave, and low river levels have hit hydroelectricity production. one of the worst—affected cities has been the inland metropolis of chongqing — home to tens of millions of residents. they've been riding underground trains in the dark because of power rationing. translation: this year, | you turn on the cold water tap for a few minutes, and yet it's still coming out extremely hot. translation: the weather is so hot, i cannot sleep. i then i wake up with the heat, as well. environmentalists are opposing calls for more fossil fuel electricity, to guard against future drought effects on hydro power.

to ensure the energy supply of residents and industry is supposed to be the most priority thing for china to do right now. but we're also concern that this kind of narrative will, you know, give opportunity for more new coal power plants in local provinces. china has been experiencing extreme high temperatures across vast swathes of this country for months on end, bringing climate change into sharp focus for people on the street. then, to make things worse, this turned into a drought, which is really hitting the economy. consumers across china could find certain foods harder to come by, unless the drought breaks soon. what's more, if china can't rescue its autumn harvest — and has to buy more food from overseas — this could have an effect on global supplies. crops are said to be under severe threat, according to chinese officials, so extra water has been diverted from neighbouring provinces to the driest areas.

translation: with | water, there is hope. this water is coming all the way from hunan. even water for everyday use has been hard to come by in some communities. with river levels so low, previously submerged 600—year—old buddhas have again become visible. they'll gaze out onto what humans have made of the world until the rains return, replenishing the water which will eventually reclaim the relics. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, beijing. the pictures are shocking. we have been pictures of the river rhine and the danube, bereft of water, as we saw there. it is something that is happening across the world. when you have weather events like that you often get dramatic scenes. there is a competition going on at

thank yon-— the mother of a 24 year—old autistic man has called for more support for people with hidden disabilities. jane atkinson says her son george was "abandoned" by staff on a flight from ireland to heathrow, despite asking for assistance for him. i like all the different colours... george is autistic. he's high functioning and very independent, but also vulnerable. these flowers are for you. thank you. he's appeared in channel four�*s the undateables — a programme that highlights the challenges facing those with autism and other disabilities. when suddenly faced with flying alone recently, his family requested special assistance from aer lingus. jane, can you explain to me what went wrong? they guaranteed that he would get support through security, onto the plane, and picked up at heathrow. he was taken through security and the guy that was taking him through said to him, "are you ok, george?" and he went, "yes." and he went, "ok, i'm going," and left him.

george did arrive safely, but jane feels very let down. i'm appalled that they can say that they will offer that, and help him, and then turn their back on him. they guaranteed that they would support him and theyjust abandoned him. so who's responsible? air lingus told us... dublin airport says it's... heathrow says assistance agents were dispatched... the civil aviation authority has already told airlines that they must do more to help disabled passengers. injune, they sent out a letter saying, "our own reporting framework tells us that many more disabled and less—mobile passengers have had to wait longer for assistance than usual."

the letter goes on to say, "airports should ensure that support offered meets the particular need of each passenger." jane believes her son's treatment shows airlines still haven't got the message. this is a real indication that they haven't done what they're meant to do. it angers me again because all they seem to do is support people with physical disabilities — which i understand they need the support, with being in a wheelchair — but why shouldn't people that have learning difficulties but are high functioning get the same support? chrissy sturt with that report. inafew in a few minutes we will be speaking to martin lewis, the money saving expert, who will answer all your questions. we have had the news this morning of the rise in the energy price cap which looks at the maximum that can be charged per unit of electricity. ii that can be charged per unit of electricity-—

electricity. if you haven't been watchin: electricity. if you haven't been watching this _ electricity. if you haven't been watching this morning, - electricity. if you haven't been watching this morning, the i electricity. if you haven't been i watching this morning, the brief version is, october the 1st, the average household is going to be charged an 80% rise on the current rate, and of course you will know a lot of people are struggling or is trying to deal with those rises already in place. martin will give us some advice as to how people can best cope with the next rises that will happen on october the 1st. lihit will happen on october the 1st. unit rice for will happen on october the 1st. unit price for gas — will happen on october the 1st. unit price for gas and electricity, i should say. much more on that shortly. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. emergency departments in all london nhs hospitals will now offer routine hiv tests to anyone needing treatment. croydon university hospital has been piloting the opt—out testing. it has successfully identified people with undiagnosed hiv and been able to offer effective early treatment. hepatitis b and c will also be checked as part of the combined blood—borne virus testing approach.

because people are not expecting to receive a positive diagnosis, they may not know much about the life—saving treatment. and many of our patients, it can be a shock to them, but once we reassure them that this is actually a straightforward condition to manage, we have lots of effective treatments, and most people have a very good life expectancy. non—league football clubs are considering moving saturday afternoon fixtures forward to save energy costs. seven london—based clubs compete in the isthmian league's premier division, with several more playing in the tier below. traditional 3pm kick—offs could be moved to either 12:30 or 2 o'clock to save money by avoiding using floodlights. an amber traffic warning has come into force today as thousands of carjourneys are expected to be made out of the capital over the bank holiday weekend. the warning has been issued by the aa, which estimates 15 million trips will be made across the country. families returning from summer holidays and people travelling to events will make this one of the busiest bank holidays on the roads.

it's the end of an era at bbc radio london this morning as breakfast presenter vanessa feltz is presenting her last breakfast show. a regularfeature of radio london for 20 years, since 2001, vanessa has also presented the radio 2 early breakfast show since 2011. a look at the travel situation. on the tube this morning there are severe delays on the circle and hammersmith and city lines. the district line has delays. good morning. it's feeling a little fresher this morning. we do have high pressure starting to edge in from the west. but first, we have another front which will bring more cloud through the afternoon. but first thing this morning, some mist and fog patches out there, but a largely bright start with some sunshine. that front will bring more cloud through the afternoon, but staying dry, a few sunny spells, as well, and temperatures today getting up to 24 celsius. now, as we head into the evening, that cloud will gradually

start to dissolve. so some clearer spells overnight. the wind is still light and, therefore, we may again see some mist and fog patches by dawn on saturday. minimum temperature — 12 to 15 celsius. so for saturday, high pressure settles to the north of the uk. so plenty of fine and dry weather. any mist and fog in the morning will lift. sunshine, largely. more cloud, perhaps, in the afternoon with the risk of a shower — that's further west of london — but largely dry. and temperatures tomorrow at 24 celsius. similar conditions for sunday. we develop a northeasterly flow. so perhaps along the thames estuary, a bit more cloud, perhaps a bit cooler there. similarfor monday, but temperatures by the end of the weekend just a little bit cooler. don't forget you can download the bbc news app. orask your smartspeaker anytime to play bbc news for london. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with

charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the new energy price cap has been released. from october the 1st the average household will pay £3,549 a year for their energy. this is an 80% rise on the current price cap of £1,971. and it's set to get even more expensive — the analysts cornwall insight say january's energy price cap could hit £5,386 a year. we're joined by martin lewis from money saving expert. good morning. there has been so much talk about this rise but there is a difference between the discussions

and predictions and the moment this morning when people are going, there it is, we know what it is and it is happening on october the 1st. it is like a reality _ happening on october the 1st. it 3 like a reality moment. it is certainly concrete in what has been said but we have to be careful of saying the predictions we had recently were loose and not real. the price cap is set based on the published algorithm and there is one main variable which is the wholesale rate which is why predictions coming in, and first on my tv show in march said we would expect the october cap to be over £3000. the predictions coming in, this is why they are accurate. the reason i make this point is i have heard from politicians for months that we have to wait until we get the exact numbers. i do not believe that was true. in may, a package was announced based on forward guidance from ofgem. we did not have to wait till now to know it was coming, we

knew it would be around £3500 for a couple of months. and what is shocking both for the damage it causes mental health, but also the politics of the fact, last time we had the price cap announcement we had the price cap announcement we had a plan in place to help people before it was announced. this time, thatis before it was announced. this time, that is not happening. this time, we were told in may we had a prediction, this time, there is no help in place to date, we are told we have to wait. i am seeing such terrible panic from people saying, how will i afford to pay my bills? and you have ofgem calling for government intervention, businesses calling for government intervention, the energy trade body calling for more public intervention. i am

pleading there is more government help this winters so people will not... and this is a catastrophe that people will not die from this this winter and we need to know what help comes in because the government announced help in may based on the price cap from october to april of £2800. we know in october its 3549 for someone on typical use and in january predicted to go to £5,300 for typical use because we now have a three monthly change in price cap which should not have changed but it has. we are seven months through a ten month assessment period so that is robust. it will not be exactly that but it will be in that ballpark. forjanuary we are pretty certain. we are thousands of pounds

short for the most vulnerable of money to enable them to survive through this energy crisis. and i pray the new prime minister, when they come in, and we should have heard this earlier, but that they put proper help in place for the most vulnerable or this catastrophe will ruin people's lies.— will ruin people's lies. when you talk about _ will ruin people's lies. when you talk about the _ will ruin people's lies. when you talk about the calls _ will ruin people's lies. when you talk about the calls for - will ruin people's lies. when you talk about the calls for help, - will ruin people's lies. when you i talk about the calls for help, what tools are available for the government to help. when the new prime minister comes in and we hear something, what tools can they go to? , . something, what tools can they go to? , , ., , , , to? the funny thing is, the easy bit is how you — to? the funny thing is, the easy bit is how you help- — to? the funny thing is, the easy bit is how you help. i _ to? the funny thing is, the easy bit is how you help. i am _ to? the funny thing is, the easy bit is how you help. i am relatively- is how you help. i am relatively agnostic. you could freeze the price cap although it means people like me pay less and i am not sure that should happen. you could have a social tariff which i have supported. you could take them a package of help the government came up package of help the government came up with and double every element, a little bit more, and that would help

cover these problems —— some of these problems. it is not about mechanics but the will. the issue is we will have to take money from government funds, from taxpayers or debt, and redistribute it to the most vulnerable. the question of how you distributed is open for discussion but in some ways that is less of an issue than the fact you have to do it. i am relatively agnostic about the methodology and i would work with any methodology. i just bloody well hope it happens. let's go back to basics. people listening to you this morning will think about this and think about how they are struggling. take me through this scenario. you have done the right thing. you are struggling and know you cannot pay any more. you have phoned your energy company and you are advised to have the conversation. you have taken the

grants, gone through the charities, and you know you have done all the right things and you still cannot pay your bills. you are still feeling like there is no more slack in your budget. what happens next? there will be households for whom thatis there will be households for whom that is a real circumstance. thankfully, if you are really struggling, it is very difficult for you to be disconnected these days, if you cannot pay, which is different to not paying. you may be moved to a prepayment metre and there is an emergency help on prepayment metres. some people are going to have massive health problems because they do not have heating. people are voluntarily disconnecting. i said six months ago i was out of tools to help the most vulnerable on energy and government help is needed and you are asking the question. i have been a money

saving expert for 20 years and i do not have an answer because there isn't one. that is why we are desperately in need of some government intervention. and the mental health catastrophe it is causing by not having an answer, not having firm plans in place on the day the price cap is announced is also a secondary symptom and catastrophe of this. i chair the money and mental health policy institute. finance and mental health are closely linked. to allow people to stare into the pit of financial doom that is coming this winter without offering them the torch at the end of the tunnel and saying help will come, without being specific, is terrible for people's mental health. i wish i had an answer, i do not have an answer. for years i have been doing thisjob. they do not provide me an answer

with this situation apart from talk to your mp and let others beg and plead and pray that the new prime minister gets on this quickly and help save lives because we are in that type of emergency. i help save lives because we are in that type of emergency.- help save lives because we are in that type of emergency. i should say the treasury — that type of emergency. i should say the treasury has _ that type of emergency. i should say the treasury has released _ that type of emergency. i should say the treasury has released a - the treasury has released a statement from the chancellor nadhim zahawi.. it says, i know the price cap announcement will cause stress and anxiety. help is coming. it goes through the various amounts offered so far. it says, i am working flat out to develop options for further support which means the incoming prime minister can hit the ground running and deliver support to those who need it most as soon as possible. we have looked through what ofgem has said and how it has justified the price cap. we have looked at those reasons. but also, it is looking at the issue of direct debits. often, customers have direct

debits. often, customers have direct debits and they are looking at how much credit and debt is built. what should people do? if you are going for a fixed rate, there are not great deals. if you have to assess where you are with your bill, what should you look at?— where you are with your bill, what should you look at? quite simply, if ou are in should you look at? quite simply, if you are in credit _ should you look at? quite simply, if you are in credit and _ should you look at? quite simply, if you are in credit and on _ should you look at? quite simply, if you are in credit and on the - should you look at? quite simply, if you are in credit and on the price i you are in credit and on the price cap, you should expect an increase of the direct debit of roughly 80%. let's say 65—95%. if you have that, i suggest you swear a lot and take it because that is about right. if it because that is about right. if it goes up substantially more and you have been on the price cap and you have been on the price cap and you are in credit, i suggest there has been a calculation error. i have complained to ofgem and put evidence to parliament and we have had rule changes of tightening up on direct debits. my team, we have an

agreement with energy companies, publishing how they assess direct debits and how they set them so you will look at your energy firm and see whether your direct debit has been done correctly. hopefully we will publish that next week. that is the rough figure. if you are in debt you would expect the direct debit to go you would expect the direct debit to 9° up you would expect the direct debit to go up higher. if you move off a fix, onto a fix, because you are on a cheaper price than the current price cap or going to a more expensive price than the cap, you would expect your rise to be high. under energy firms' licence conditions you have a right to a fair direct debit but unfortunately there is no definition of a fair direct debit so what we do not know is i am talking about your direct debit going up with the october cap. because we have a prediction of a higherjanuary cap, i do not have a direct answer of whether companies are allowed now to increase direct debits based on that prediction or they have to stick

with the october. that is not defined, which is why we are going through individual companies and their terms and talking to them to see how they set direct debits. while rules have tightened up, it is still relatively murky. i while rules have tightened up, it is still relatively murky.— still relatively murky. i know you are not big _ still relatively murky. i know you are not big on — still relatively murky. i know you are not big on yes _ still relatively murky. i know you are not big on yes or _ still relatively murky. i know you are not big on yes or no - still relatively murky. i know you are not big on yes or no answers| still relatively murky. i know you - are not big on yes or no answers but you mention two people who would be prime minister. have you had discussions with those two people, given your expertise in this area? not since the leadership contest started. . . . not since the leadership contest started. . ., , ., not since the leadership contest started. . ., , not since the leadership contest started. . , started. that was a very quick answer for — started. that was a very quick answer for which _ started. that was a very quick answer for which i _ started. that was a very quick answer for which i thank - started. that was a very quick answer for which i thank you. | started. that was a very quick- answer for which i thank you. always interesting to hear from you. thank ou. interesting to hear from you. thank you- thank — interesting to hear from you. thank you- thank you _ interesting to hear from you. thank you. thank you for _ interesting to hear from you. thank you. thank you for having - interesting to hear from you. thank you. thank you for having me. - hannah is at a community cafe in ipswich this morning to see how people there are reacting. it is interesting going through that with martin, the practicalities now. this is what people will be doing. now it is reality, go home, look at

against south africa. they needed redemption and it looks like they have done it. some smiles. particularly from jimmy anderson and stuart broad with three wickets each yesterday at old trafford. england will look to build a big lead on day two of the second test against south africa at old trafford. their bowlers prospered after the tourists elected to bat. jimmy anderson claimed three wickets as did stuart broad with south africa skittled out forjust 151. but england's reply took time to crank in to gear and lost three wickets before the close, including joe root, who was dismissed forjust 9. england are 111—3. south africa lead the 3 match series 1—0. europa league and confrence league draws take place at noon today. hearts had to settle for a place in the latter after losing to zurich last night. west ham are also in it. they beat danish side viborg 3—0 in the second leg of their qualifier —

progressing 6—1 on aggregate. linfield were just seconds away from becoming the first irish league club to reach the group stage of a european competition. but, an own—goal fromjimmy callacher in the last minute of extra time to send it to a penalty shootout. 1—1 on the night, 3—3 on aggregate, however, latvia's rfs beat the northern irish side 4—2 on penalties. britain's heather watson and pauljubb are both just one win away from a place in the first round of the us open. they play in the final round of qualifying later. the grand slam main draw gets under way on monday with emma raducanu returning to defend her title. the draw took place yesterday. and first up for raducanu, who'll be seeded 11th, is world number 37 alize cornet. meanwhile, the men's british number one, cameron norrie, is seeded seventh

and plays frenchman benoit paire. but novak djokovic won't have the chance to add to his 21 grand slam titles. he officially pulled out of the tournament due to the united states not allowing in visitors who have not had a covid vaccination. and he has not had his covid vaccines. that starts on monday. another grand slam to look forward to and we will look forward to emma raducanu trying to defend her title. it is all about statistics. how many people have walked on the bin? oh, don't do this to me. it is not really a test. i will go 20... ithink 20. .. i think that 20... i think that is a good guess because i think that is a good guess because i would have said more. it is 12.

just 12 human beings who have been on the moon. there is a reason i asked the question. it's the moon landing as you've never seen it before. andy saunders quit his dayjob to painstakingly restore thousands of images of the apollo missions — which until now have been locked away in frozen nasa archives. the remastered photographs reveal extraordinary new details of humankind's first journey to space as rebecca morelle reports. three, two, one, zero. lift off. we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. the voice of presidentjohn f kennedy on the apollo missions, which ushered in a golden era of human space exploration. the incredible images allowed the world to share the astronauts' experience of the lunar surface. houston, tranquility base here. the eagle has landed.

but now the missions are being seen through a new lens, exposing some long—lost secrets. andy saunders has spent more than a decade trawling through 35,000 images held in nasa's archives, studying each one frame by frame. and even though some looked far from promising, what they contained was extraordinary. so this was an image of interest. so on quite a simple level, first of all, we just look and we'll build up and start to stretch that contrast and pull out... oh, my goodness. ..what is actually in that frame. and lo and behold, there's commanderjim mcdivitt on apollo 9 in 1969. and what we saw as a window is actually a reflection of the docking window reflected on his bubble helmet. each image has been digitally restored and enhanced pixel by pixel to give us the clearest view we've ever had of the moon landings.

from vistas of the cratered surface to the eagle lunar module and a glimpse of what everyday life was really like for the astronauts. and they've even revealed the golf ball lost on the lunar surface five decades ago, as alan shepard took his hobby into space. only ten hours of footage were captured during the entire apollo programme, but it's taken years to analyse. so this is apollo 13, which is the mission that didn't land on the moon, because of an explosion 200,000 miles from earth. and here they are on the way back, not really knowing if they're actually going to get home alive. each individualframe of the movie is matched with the next, then overlaid and aligned. it means any random glitches and distortions can be removed, and, slowly, the details begin to emerge. that's an incredibly laborious process. that can take days to complete one of these images. but the reward is we can now almost

step on board apollo 13. this hand here is the commander, jim lovell. so here he is as his crew are resting, sleeping, filming his spacecraft and his crew on the way back from the moon. it's one small step for man. one giant leap for mankind. this technique also revealed a rare image of the first man on the moon, where neil armstrong's face is visible forjust a moment. three years later, charlie duke was one of the last astronauts to make the journey. as one of only 12 people to have walked on the moon, he's been on hand to check whether the restored pictures capture what the experience was really like. it's a spectacular terrain, and the beauty of it. mostly greys, but sharp contrast between the blackness of space and the horizon of the moon. i'll never forget it. it was so dramatic.

now others will soon get to see this for themselves. final preparations are under way for next week's test flight of nasa's new megarocket — the space launch system. eventually, it will be returning humans to the moon. try to get position here, then you've got it. for 50 years, we've been captivated by the apollo missions — witnesses to history as it unfolds. but, soon, the moon will be viewed through the eyes of a new generation. rebecca morelle, bbc news. the person behind those stunning imagesjoins us now. andy saunders. some of these are your images. we thought we would make you feel at home. how did you get access to these and why did you get access and no one else had bothered to get

camera so photographs are of buzz aldrin. he is reflected in the visor of buzz aldrin, that was the best we had. i went to the 16mm movie footage. i processed out and applied the stacking technique. a5 footage. i processed out and applied the stacking technique. as i did it i could not believe... it is a powerful technique and the detail coming out, it was like an archaeologist du5ting old artefact5. you have the crew. when i was looking through the book, i never understood how uncomfortable it was for them in the capsule. a picture you have is of the crew is sleeping. i think i was reading where they said it is freezing in here, and they kept their boots on and wanted extra thermals and it was 2—4 c.

they were very ill at this moment. this is apollo 13 and anyone who saw the movie might think what it was really like on board. i want to show the human side to the missions which we have not seen. we typically see an anonymous figure in a space suit. i want to see the people and want people to feel they can step on—board the spacecraft and see what is going on. on-board the spacecraft and see what is auoin on. , ., ,, ., is going on. they did not know if they would _ is going on. they did not know if they would come _ is going on. they did not know if they would come home. - is going on. they did not know if they would come home. there i is going on. they did not know if| they would come home. there is is going on. they did not know if. they would come home. there is an expectation, these days, but there was such high risk. it expectation, these days, but there was such high risk.— was such high risk. it was unlikely, 200,000 was such high risk. it was unlikely, 200.000 miles— was such high risk. it was unlikely, 200,000 miles from _ was such high risk. it was unlikely, 200,000 miles from earth - was such high risk. it was unlikely, 200,000 miles from earth and - was such high risk. it was unlikely, 200,000 miles from earth and an | 200,000 miles from earth and an explosion, so they could not land. gladly, they had the presence of mind to roll the camera. they probably did not know if the film would be developed. i am probably did not know if the film would be developed.— probably did not know if the film would be developed. i am not sure we can do justice- — would be developed. i am not sure we can do justice. there _ would be developed. i am not sure we can do justice. there are _ would be developed. i am not sure we can do justice. there are so _ would be developed. i am not sure we can do justice. there are so many - can do justice. there are so many good image5 can do justice. there are so many good images and i am fascinated by

this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh. the headlines at 9:00: tens of millions of people will see an 80% increase in gas and electricity bills, as ofgem announces a new price cap. the regulator and campaigners call for immediate government action. the government — with our support, with the support of the industry, with the support of ngos — needs to act urgently and decisively to address the situation that's before us. i am begging and praying and pleading that there is more government help for this winter, so that people will not, and the poorest... and this is not catastrophising, it is a catastrophe that we really want to hear your reaction to the news this morning about how this will affect you, and any questions you may have.
