11:30 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geri scott, political reporter at the times, and the author and journalist, emma woolf. thank you both for staying up late to be with us tonight. let's begin with the independent. there's a dark winter ahead — warns the independent — following ofgem's announcement that the latest energy price cap will rise to more than three thousand pounds.
11:31 pm
and that price cap could reach as high as 6,000 pounds by the spring — says the financial times. the daily mirror is calling for the government to act. both conservative leadership contenders, rishi sunak and liz truss, have pledged more direct support for households, but neither has set out much detail so far of their plans. the current prime minister, borisjohnson, is on the front of the express. he's said voters can expect a "pipeline of cash" through the winter. that was already announced before the new price rises were put in place. whilst the chancellor, nadhim zahawi, has told the daily telegraph that middle earners will need government support to pay their energy bills. he's also urged households to cut their energy use. we will talk about that in a little while. the guardian warns that millions of people could be forced to choose between eating and heating, as rising bills will leave many with costs they cannot pay. the times says the rising cost of living could push inflation to 12
11:32 pm
percent this october — with the bank of england interest rate potentially hitting more than four percent by next may. and the yorkshire post says sewage has been allowed to spill into yorkshire waterways for more than 1.5 million hours over the last six years, according to figures obtained by the labour party. yorkshire water says it's working hard to make improvements. writes, let's plunge back in. we've gone for a slightly different selection this time to give you some variety, but i'm afraid the strays are pretty much the same, and a headline if anything more bleak than the ones we talked about 45 minutes ago. this is the front of the guardian. ago. this is the front of the guardian-— ago. this is the front of the guardian. , . , . . ~ ago. this is the front of the guardian. , . , . .,~ ., guardian. they really are taking a ve , guardian. they really are taking a very. very — guardian. they really are taking a very. very bleak _ guardian. they really are taking a very, very bleak view _ guardian. they really are taking a very, very bleak view of - guardian. they really are taking a very, very bleak view of the - guardian. they really are taking a| very, very bleak view of the winter had. i think unsurprisingly all of the papers are, actually, but the guardian are focusing really on charity is warning that incomes are actually being wiped out for poorer households, for some single
11:33 pm
individuals, the real terms energy bills will actually be 120% of their income. they will be choosing between heating and eating, i know it's a hackneyed phrase, but it's the reality, people trying to stay warm, people going to public places, sitting in libraries to try to stay warm and literally making that choice between keeping a warm room or buying food to eat. they are saying that millions of households will face a winter of catastrophe with rising bills plunging people into destitution and wiping out their savings. with the energy price cap, which often kindness so—called regulator, i don't know how they are claiming to regulate anything, the so—called regulator has confirmed today that there will be an 80% rise in that price cap, so i think we have to be really, really clear, that simply unsustainable for a lot of people, and as we will see later with the chancellor in the telegraph, this isn'tjust about the

11:36 pm
that extends right the way up the income scale, not on the way to the very top, but quite a long way up in a way that the previous aspect of the cost of living crisis may not have been felt quite so acutely as those who spend this my progression of the income they have on food, but they're definitely going to feel it on energy. the they're definitely going to feel it on ener: . .,. ., ,., they're definitely going to feel it on energy-— they're definitely going to feel it on ener: . ., ., ., on energy. the grace of god on that sellin: on energy. the grace of god on that spelling mistake, _ on energy. the grace of god on that spelling mistake, i— on energy. the grace of god on that spelling mistake, i am _ on energy. the grace of god on that spelling mistake, i am one - on energy. the grace of god on that spelling mistake, i am one for - on energy. the grace of god on that| spelling mistake, i am one for typos as well. shouting in the telegraph offices this evening. essen as well. shouting in the telegraph offices this evening.— offices this evening. even worse when it's in _ offices this evening. even worse when it's in a — offices this evening. even worse when it's in a book. _ offices this evening. even worse when it's in a book. this - offices this evening. even worse when it's in a book. this is - offices this evening. even worse when it's in a book. this is the | when it's in a book. this is the telegraph. _ when it's in a book. this is the telegraph, though, _ when it's in a book. this is the telegraph, though, the - when it's in a book. this is the i telegraph, though, the interview with this isn't affecting the most vulnerable in society, and that would be bad enough, of course and he puts it at £45,000 senior teachers are going to be feeling this too. while there has been some suggestions that you could do things for those on universal credits, for

example, to that system, it would be easily implemented because that's already people the are not in that system would be more difficult to preach in a targeted way. he does talk about some other options. whether that is giving small loans to energy companies to knock 500 quid off the bills or whether that is potentially freezing the price cap, which is a key part of labour�*s plan. you know, we can get onto this in a bit, i imagine, but he has also spoken today about the fact that we are just going to have to ration our energy use and there are things that we can do at home to do that as well stop but that is really interesting. we will talk a bit more but the rational question. you mentioned there that it's much worse if you've got a spelling mistake in a book, as that one you want to got a spelling mistake in a book, as that one you wan— got a spelling mistake in a book, as| that one you wan_ not that one you want to fess up to? not at all, and that one you want to fess up to? not at all. and a — that one you want to fess up to? not at all. and a very. —

11:41 pm
absolutely. you have to ask the question why did the government do things like cancel the home insulation programme back in 2010 that would have, by the time i got to this crisis, would've put it in a better place, and has some of the policy attitudes on things like renewable energy actually added to our problem now because we have not developed alternative sources? so we can talk about licensing fossil fuels as we heard from the australian journalist on dateline earlier, available on the bbc iplayer if you want it and repeated over the beacon, she was making the point that the australian government, federal government which has been campaigning for restrictions because of climate change has now also licensed extra fossil fuel development, which fossilfuel development, which is all fine, but that will take years before we actually see the benefits of that. from that point if you come in a sense, if we do have to have rationing, it's because we brought this on ourselves a bit, isn't it?
11:42 pm
there are no short fixes, are there. ithink— there are no short fixes, are there. i think they— there are no short fixes, are there. i think they have a point, it's obvious that we have to move away from reliance on gas, notjust gas from reliance on gas, notjust gas from russia, but as an energy source. you are quite right. the infrastructure isn't in place for us completely to rely on renewables yet and we haven't put the work in. we have fixed the roof while the sun was shining to make sure that those things are in place. 0ne was shining to make sure that those things are in place. one of the suggestions in this ideas that are being met are the holes energy sector needs to be overhauled, the idea of uncoupling electricity prices from gas, for example, because electricity prices are also dictated by the price of gas which is absolutely crazy if you are able to generate that electricity be at renewable means. so there is a lot of work to be done, the problem is,

as you say, this is all long term work, it doesn't help going into the winter and went three or four months when people are going to be freezing, basically. just when people are going to be freezing, basically.— when people are going to be freezing, basically. just in terms ofthe freezing, basically. just in terms of the question _ freezing, basically. just in terms of the question of _ freezing, basically. just in terms of the question of rationing, - freezing, basically. just in terms. of the question of rationing, since you mentioned it, it's quite interesting when i was in germany for the gh interesting when i was in germany forthe gh summit interesting when i was in germany for the gh summit back in the early summer, i was talking to people about rationing, i generally said to me the first time she's ever thought of that as somebody who grew up in west germany, the western part of germany during the cold war, it was never an issue, she said it's terrifying to be a 50—year—old woman suddenly being confronted with the idea of rationing. the local hotel you're missing that he feared he was going to be ordered to close this winter because given the choice, they would rather heat, he said, understandably, factories and schools and hospitals and people in their homes rather than businesses like his. none of this debate is happening here, or it hasn't happened yet, is it going to have to? it

11:46 pm
investment. the problem that we have actually is the only way to completely stop this sewage discharge into our waters which happens when there has been heavy rain or the only time it should happen, but there are suspicions it's happening outside of that, is to completely separate areas sewage and rainwater systems, but unfortunately that would cost millions and billions of pounds and involved digging up the whole country. that's unlikely to happen. but it is very clear that the regulator needs to come down a bit harder on these water companies and the government is keen for them to do so. it the government is keen for them to do so. . , the government is keen for them to do so. ., , ., , ~' do so. it was last week the environment _ do so. it was last week the environment agency - do so. it was last week the i environment agency released do so. it was last week the - environment agency released quite do so. it was last week the _ environment agency released quite a lot of information about the major failures the lot of information about the ma'or failure , ., , ., failures the summer of sewage detection and _ failures the summer of sewage detection and sewage - failures the summer of sewage i detection and sewage monitoring systems — detection and sewage monitoring systems. basically, it transpires that quite— systems. basically, it transpires that quite a lot of holiday— makers of uk _ that quite a lot of holiday— makers of uk beaches have been swimming in an effectively human waste, which is pretty— an effectively human waste, which is pretty disgusting, some peaches across— pretty disgusting, some peaches across essex and kevin were closed
