community for people to tell them what they know? it does, absolutely. you can see the effect that this murder has had on the community here by the amount of tributes that are being left and that continue to pour in for olivia. as we mentioned, the home secretary priti patel visited here personally yesterday, pledging £500,000 in extra support for merseyside from the government. £350,000 will be to take guns are not offered streets, 150,000 pounds will be for mental health support for the community here. we should say thatjust because they have been two arrests now for olivia's murder, the police are still saying it doesn't mean that they want people to stop coming forward with information, they are asking anyone who knows anything to contact them for things like —
6:08 am
camera footage, people may have had smart doorbell footage that could help them in their investigation. among the tributes here, we have seen at the football community coming together. tributes have been left from liverpool football club, everton football club. i former liverpool captain steven gerrard said yesterday as well that he felt personally devastated by her death, and i think that really echoes how a lot of people will be feeling around here still, so a huge impact here on the community and the police investigation is very much ongoing. they are still asking for anybody�*s help. thanks, katie. katie barnfield reporting there. newly released core documents have revealed by a judge authorise the search of donald trump's florida state earlier this month. the fbi told the us department of justice that they expect to find evidence of obstruction at his monologue at home, and they believe contraband, fruits of crimes or
6:09 am
other illegal items would be discovered. gareth barlow has the details. this is the remarkable document used to justify one of the most historic fbi raids in us history. amid the blacked out text agents argue they have probable cause to believe, in the words, that evidence, contraband, fruits of crimes or other items illegally possessed would be discovered at the former president's mara—a—lago estate. the criminal investigation and eighth of august search began after the national archives, which maintains white house records, identified classified files, among 15 boxes recovered from moura logo injanuary this year. an fbi review recovered 184 classified documents, including 25 marked as top—secret. it is 25 marked as top-secret. it is unprecedented _ 25 marked as top-secret. it is unprecedented since - 25 marked as top—secret. it 3 unprecedented since the presidential records act of 1978 in which i helped draft that this is the first time a president ever carted off to his home i document prepared in the

course of his presidency. those documents belong to the united states, not any individual. the former president _ states, not any individual. the former president along with his legal team argosy has the right to declassify the documents and he has already done so. legal experts question those claims, as did on friday president biden. ijust want to friday president biden. i just want to know if friday president biden. ijust want to know if he could declassify everything in the world, if i am president? come on, come on, i'm not going to, because i don't know the details. i don't even want to know. like just as they carried. the pages that trigger the search of his bead front property, 21 blacked out and several container no visible words at all. the fbi argues that revealing the identities of witnesses could potentially lead them to being subjected to home, including retaliation, intimidation, and even threats to physical safety. what the document doesn't address is what agents discovered in the 11 boxes they retrieved from mar—a—lago
6:11 am
earlier this month. investigations are expected to continue, and we could see more witnesses called. we want no more until we know if criminal charges will be made. gareth barlow, bbc news. garden centres in england will be banned from selling peat compost from 2024. the move follows a public consultation and is part of efforts to fight global warming, as our environment correspondent helen briggs explains. this dark, wet stuff is peat, dark, organic matter and much loved by gardeners for nourishing plants but because of environmental concerns you will soon no longer be able to buy peat combustor garden centres in england. if you dig it up out of the ground it is very valuable as a carbon score, it is broken down and all of that carbon is emitted into the atmosphere's carbon dioxide. we have been working really hard to try and find a way of protecting this and
6:12 am
stopping this use. there are alternatives, they are developing all the time. when the band comes into effect sometime in 2024, gardeners will have to switch to peat free compost or make their own, but environmental groups say that with peat still being dug up in counties such as somerset this comes too little, too late. in the uk, we are storing about 3.2 biiiion— in the uk, we are storing about 3.2 billion tonnes of garden in peat, so we need _ billion tonnes of garden in peat, so we need to— billion tonnes of garden in peat, so we need to protect that, keep the peat on _ we need to protect that, keep the peat on the ground and keep it wet. however. _ peat on the ground and keep it wet. however. it — peat on the ground and keep it wet. however, it isn't enough. it is not quick— however, it isn't enough. it is not quick enough, so the ban on retail saies— quick enough, so the ban on retail sales of— quick enough, so the ban on retail sales of peat is not going to end peat _ sales of peat is not going to end peat extraction and peat extraction is continuing. peat- is continuing. peat mining has been part of british life for centuries, providing jobs and income. the industry is on the wane but peat is still being

extracted two compost. but sites the closing with this area turned into a major concern. environmentalists say these areas are just beautiful, they are essential in the fight against climate change. helen briggs, bbc news. colourful outfits, extravagant headpieces and amazing music will be the theme of this weekend in london, as the world—famous notting hill carnival returns for the first time in three yea rs. millions of people are expected to attend europe's biggest street party, with 84 mas bands performing, in a celebration of african—caribbean culture. wendy hurrell has more. it's back! notting hill carnival returns to the streets after three years. there are parades on sunday and monday starting at around 1030 in the morning. it is a weekend of music, colourful costumes street

food. of course, 2 million people coming here to party does pose some challenges. while we were filming earlier, a local resident appealed to the met police, and i was interviewing to ask for a barrier to herfront interviewing to ask for a barrier to her front steps interviewing to ask for a barrier to herfront steps which interviewing to ask for a barrier to her front steps which tend to become a gathering place, and to be frank and upper bit messy. organisers and authorities alike recognised that there is a delicate balance. it has been sometime since the mat had to police an event of this size. partners have been working with the police for months now to make sure that our plans are in place. we recognise what the risks are, and we have planned for those, but we will also respond dynamically to any issues and instances that happen on the day. and councils are poised for the cleanup. we know that they can be difficult for people, that is obviously why there is support available to vulnerable people on the site footprint. a lot of work is being
6:15 am
done by our contractors to make sure waste is cleaned up as soon as possible. it is a military style operation with lots of people working incredibly hard to make this run as smoothly as it can, given that it run as smoothly as it can, given thatitis run as smoothly as it can, given that it is a street festival in a residential part of town. but after what has been a very difficult few years in so many ways, there is a special significance for this community, the costumes will reflect that sentiment. we get our inspiration from things that are current. we want our theme to be relevant, so this year �*a time to be relevant, so this year �*a time to remember�* is a tribute to our history and our heritage. and how carnival came to be. but it is also very much a tribute to the skills and contribution made by all of the people who didn�*t make it through the last three years. it is very important that it continues and remains on the streets — continues and remains on the streets. as you say, it has been a very— streets. as you say, it has been a very difficult _ streets. as you say, it has been a very difficult three years, so the return— very difficult three years, so the return of— very difficult three years, so the return of carnival is welcomed and

6:17 am
shows pretty clear skies although we have this thick cloud working into northern ireland. that will bring a little bit of rain into westernmost counties. forthe little bit of rain into westernmost counties. for the most part the reins will be quite light, but it will be wet for a time here and eventually we will see some rains getting into the far west of scotland as well. but for most of you, dry with sunny spells throughout the morning. into the afternoon, a few showers start to bubble up. they should bejust afternoon, a few showers start to bubble up. they should be just away from the south coast inland across parts of southern england. one or two for the west midlands, one or two for the west midlands, one or two into north—west england and north—east england in one or two for east scotland. but even for these areas, as i mentioned, overwhelmingly most places will stay dry throughout the day with sunny spells coming and going. in the sunshine it will feel latently warm, temperatures widely into the low 20s, peaking at about 25 in london. overnight tonight, again there could be a little bit more on the way of rain working into the western isles of scotland, turning heavier here with some of that wet weather eventually working into the highlands. otherwise it is a dry night. temperatures about ten to 14 degrees. tomorrow there is again going to be a lot of dry weather
6:18 am
across the uk. still with got high pressure generally dominating the weather picture. the only area really seeing rain is across western scotland, but the cloud clearing up enough to give the odd fleeting sour. the temperature similar, 20 to 24 degrees for most of you. looking into bank holiday monday, which many of us have to look forward to, we have the high pressure still with us to the north of the uk. we still have a feed of north—easterly winds coming around that area of high pressure, and that will keep some of our eastern coasts feeling a little bit fresher. there could be an odd shower popping up as the cloud develops into the afternoon, but overwhelmingly that high—pressure will keep most of us dry with sunny spells, bit of cloud building into the afternoon and the temperature is about 18 in glasgow at this time. 19 for belfast, 24 in cardiff, so some of the warmest weather across southern wales and south—west england. forthose southern wales and south—west england. for those of you that are off to the notting hill carnival, there is a tiny chance of a shower but essentially saturday, sunday and monday for most of the time it is
6:19 am
going to be dry with sunny spells. it will feel quite warm as well. beyond that, the area of high pressure influencing the weather well into next week, bringing mostly fine conditions with sunny spells lasting for most. just an odd fleeting sour, but the emphasis continues to be a lot of dry weather. that is how things looking. back to you two. let�*s have a look at today�*s papers. the front pages are dominated by the rise in the energy price cap. the guardian reports that the increase will cause avoidable deaths unless the government intervenes. the paper carries warnings from charities that single parents will be spending almost two thirds of their income on energy after housing costs. the daily mirror uses its front page to deliver a message to the government. it says, "our whole country is facing an energy bills catastrophe. for heaven�*s sake, do something." the daily mail leads on warnings that six million families could see their savings wiped out by the unprecedented hikes,
6:20 am
adding that a second raid on family budgets is expected before christmas. and the chancellor, nadhim zahawi, has told the daily telegraph that middle earners on salaries of £45,000 will need help from the government to pay their energy bills. mr zahawi said options to give more support to households are being drawn up for the next prime minister. we should say the front pages dominated by rising energy bills we have an energy panel after 9:10am. you can get in touch and we will put those questions to some experts. we will get some answers about how you can cope with the rising cost of energy. if you wanted a story that wasn�*t linked to the energy crisis, i was thinking for a second, should we do it or not do it? do i was thinking for a second, should we do it or not do it?— we do it or not do it? do it, we need something _ we do it or not do it? do it, we need something else. - we do it or not do it? do it, we need something else. here - we do it or not do it? do it, we need something else. here is i we do it or not do it? do it, we | need something else. here is a we do it or not do it? do it, we - need something else. here is a story that is not linked _ need something else. here is a story that is not linked to _ need something else. here is a story

6:22 am
paper industry technical association, says the great british toilet roll has moved into the 21st century. we are a market leader. this welcome development shows the paper industry reacting to consumer demand. our existing toilet roll cores were perfectly recyclable but the market is adapting. wait for it — it is onwards and upwards for the toilet roll. - it is onwards and upwards for the toilet roll. ., , ., ., toilet roll. how is it going to work? everyone _ toilet roll. how is it going to work? everyone wants - toilet roll. how is it going to work? everyone wants to . toilet roll. how is it going to i work? everyone wants to know toilet roll. how is it going to - work? everyone wants to know how it is going to work. if you don�*t have the tube, do we still have our old toilet roll holders, that use? how does the empty circle stay together? these are all valid questions, and i can answer them. the new toilet rolls have 360 sheets rather than the standard 180. they are packed so they no longer need the supporting tube. that is how it is being done. now you know. 6:22am is the time.
6:23 am
families across the uk are already feeling the impact of soaring energy costs and many households are facing stark choices. it is something we have been talking about a lot this morning. with winter approaching and the prospect of further price rises next year, people are being forced to consider different ways of cutting back. our business reporter lorna jones has more. that is one meal sorted, some hot mac and cheese provided by a lunch club at this church in cheltenham. but today people are grateful for the gas the church provides just to cook it, as well as the rising cost of food, energy is a big worry. it�*s of food, energy is a big worry. it's 'ust one of food, energy is a big worry. it�*s just gone up and up, and i didn't just gone up and up, and i didn�*t notice it as much at first, but now i am sort of really noticing it. vicki relies on universal credits to feed her two kids, so she is set to get £650 extra from the government to help with energy bills. it is that now going to be enough? i to help with energy bills. it is that now going to be enough? i know the 've that now going to be enough? i know they've sort — that now going to be enough? i know they've sort of _ that now going to be enough? i know they've sort of mention _ that now going to be enough? i know they've sort of mention they - that now going to be enough? i know they've sort of mention they were - they�*ve sort of mention they were trying to support families a bit

6:32 am
towards their target of 124. but they collapsed with some great bowling late on. nicola carey took three wickets. superchargers later beat fire in the men�*s match. emma raducanu looked to be having trouble with a wrist in practice ahead of the defence of her us open title next week. she twice headed off court with her physio. the world number 11 faces alize cornet in the first round on tuesday and says that she is taking things one match at a time. i think king about this more than me. —— i think you are thinking about it more than me, i�*m just taking is one match at a time like every single player, they are very capable in the draw. ijust focusing
6:33 am
on my own trajectory, like i said last year, i will do things my way. manchester united will look to build on their victory over liverpool when they travel to southampton for the premier league lunchtime kick—off. united beat liverpool 2—1 at old trafford on monday. that followed defeats to brighton and brentford. the to brighton and brentford. spirit was already good, that the spirit was already good, but that was even better. it is only one game so we have to build further. we have to develop and i think everybody is aware of that. i said before the game liverpool is, especially last year, the best playing football team in the world, and when you beat them it must give and when you beat them it must give a lot of confidence. liverpool have made a lacklustre start to the season, with two draws followed by that defeat at old trafford. this afternoon they take on newly promoted bournemouth.
6:34 am
the boys are not guilty of that. they expected to slide easily into the season. but of course it is too early to close the season, definitely, say that is it for us. say that nobody knows what we can achieve at the end of the season, but between knowing that are a lot of points to get, and we should start collecting them. we had a really interesting interview with ellen white, days after announcing retirement. she has revealed how a punctured lung last year influenced the decision to call time on her career. the england women�*s record goalscorer admits it had cast a shadow over her last 12 months in the game. it was a really kind of traumatic time for me, something that i am still kinda figuring out now, still working through, but tommy obviously i don�*t want that to happen to
6:35 am
anyone ever again, really, i don�*t want that to happen to anyone everagain, really, but i don�*t want that to happen to anyone ever again, really, but it was a challenging time for and definitely something i�*m still working through. you know, it is one of the reasons potentially that i am retiring as well. at the time i think i just retiring as well. at the time i think ijust get into a zone of, i need to get display end, we have these games, i want to be back for my club, to play for england, so i was very tunnel vision. i don�*t think it was until about two or three months later that it hit me like a train of what actually happened, and how it was. really interesting interview with ellen white there. the full interview will be at 12 o�*clock today, really what the watch. i give very much. when 12—year—old mabel was swept out to sea while on a family holiday in barmouth, it was her younger sister�*s advice to stay calm and float on her back that saved her life. mabel and herfamily have now returned to wales to thank the rnli crew who helped rescue her and raise awareness of their �*float to live�* campaign. craig duggan has the story.

6:38 am
into the boat. the family say they love barmouth and will be back again for another holiday. after the terrifying experience, they have happy ending, especially with help from the crew. great advice. simple advice as well. we�*ll be back with the headlines. in simple advice as well. we'll be back with the headlines.— simple advice as well. we'll be back with the headlines. in the meantime, the travel show. _ each day, before the sun rises in northern chile�*s atacama desert, people venture up and up. across bumpy terrain to where the altitude is high enough to make you light—headed. the air is thin and even in summer, the temperatures are near freezing. so, these are one of the main draws for tourists coming here to the atacama desert. an incredible place,
6:39 am
it is the largest geyser field in the southern hemisphere. and here in the andes mountains, over4,000 metres, it�*s the highest in the world. but what i find especially incredible is that we�*re in the atacama desert — i�*m sure you�*ve heard of it — the driest place on earth. but i�*m notjust in chile sightseeing. i�*ve come because bubbling up in this country has been an appetite for change. sirens wail 30 years on from the era shaped by dictator augusto pinochet, many here still want change and in 2019, millions took to the streets, angry at inequality and poor public services. but by 2020, there were celebrations. a once—in—a—generation rewrite of their constitution was voted for. i visited as the finishing touches were being put
6:40 am
on the new draft, which if voted in next week, supporters say will bolster public services, give environmental protections and recognition to chile�*s indigenous communities for the first time. i wanted to see for myself some of the ways that the country is changing as it considers reshaping not only its constitution but also, its fundamental identity. which is why 18 hours later, ifind myself in the middle of the desert as night presses in. so, it�*s half 11 at night. ifeel like i am in the middle of nowhere. i�*m not quite sure what i�*m getting myself into.
6:41 am
the new constitution would also enshrine individuals�* rights to water, a precious resource in a country suffering droughts, and something crucial for the indigenous community of the atacama. this ceremony brings together members of the atacamenos indigenous people, who live around northern chile, and have a deep respect for nature, having adapted to life around the desert. they�*ve given us special permission to come along.
6:42 am
mabel passes aguacoya around the group — a drink with hallucinogenic effects that�*s made from the cactus plant.
6:43 am
singing. it was quite a serene experience and it was amazing, just to see these local people and how they were so passionate
6:44 am
and so emotional about this ceremony. sighs i feel really privileged that we were able to be invited to something like this. you can still hear the drums in the background. it�*s after four in the morning. i might leave them to it. soft drumming singing but a community rooted in tradition has been rubbing up against a world evolving at pace. like at the nearby town of san pedro de atacama, which has expanded significantly over the last two decades due to tourism. ok, look at this. there�*s a restaurant here, there�*s a tour operator over there, cute little gift shop and a store selling hiking boots over there, buskers on the street, hotels with all of their swimming pools. this is a town that
6:45 am
just revolves around tourism. i can�*t imagine how much water that uses up. outside of the town, here in this hostile, barren desert, there isn�*t much that grows. but still, techniques passed down by the indigenous people allowed them to live here in harmony with nature. i wanted to catch up with rosa, the water bearer from last night�*s ceremony, to find out a little more about how their position in the modern world here is changing. rosa, how is it so green here? this is crazy! it�*s like magic, thanks to the water. chuckles. the idea is we respect the cycle. in winter, the mother earth rest. some of the techniques here use ancient atacamenos methods,
6:46 am
like irrigation channels, which allow these plants to be watered sparingly — just once a month. the idea of this project teach to the world how important is preserve and protect the mother earth. when you come to the desert, not only is landscape and picture, it�*s introduce and understand how live the local people, how important is the water. and we can live and we can protect the wildlife, too. there are other big changes afoot for the wider community here. can you talk me through what this will mean for your people? well, this is good opportunity for recognise the indigenous people in chile, in the constitution. we have other concepts for life and that is very important because they give more tools for protect the area,
6:47 am
especially the water. recognition is beginning to take shape. some tourist sites, like the geysers, are now co—managed by the indigenous community, allowing them to take an active role in their changing world. but the atacamenos weren�*t the first indigenous people to call chile home. i left rosa and headed further up the coast to arica. between 7000 and 1500 bc, the hunter gatherer chinchorro lived here and developed complex mummification practices which have astounded 21st century researchers. last year, chinchorro burial culture was officially recognised by unesco, who placed it on their world heritage list. but despite this, the chinchorro still haven�*t entirely caught the public�*s imagination.
6:48 am
the small fishing village of caleta camarones is the closest town to one of the world�*s top sites where the chinchorro mummies have been found. but here, chinchorro enthusiasts will find little more than a themed restaurant and some statues. so, before we came here, some people said you could see the mummies in the ground and some said you couldn�*t, so i wasn�*t really sure what we�*d find. but while we were having lunch, we got talking to the guy who runs the place and he says he can show us some mummies in the ground, so — and it�*s two minutes down the road, so we�*re on our way. currently, the mummies buried in the ground are being left there by archaeologists for their protection. 0k. here?
6:49 am
and as we approach, we take great care not to disturb any of the remains. wow. it�*s so close to the road. what was it like growing up here? did you see many mummies when you were a child?
6:50 am
there are thought to be thousands of mummies still in these hills and evidence of the chinchorro is scattered all around the area. behind the scenes of the san miguel de azapa museum, the careful study and preservation of the majority of the chinchorro mummies takes place. there�*s so many mummies here, vivien! how many? yes, we have about 70 mummies, chinchorro mummies, in this store. let me show you a chinchorro mummy. it�*s quite small. what can you tell me about this mummy?
6:51 am
because if it was me, i would be very scared to work here. what do you love about yourjob? oh, it�*s very interesting. but these fragile relics, which date back as much as 2000 years before the egyptian mummies, are deteriorating at an increasing rate, in part due to climate change.
6:52 am
there�*s no air conditioning here and rising humidity levels are a big threat to the mummies. but it�*s hoped that a new $25 million museum will help protect them. is the local people�*s relationship with these mummies starting to change?
6:53 am
do you know what i find really amazing is that i�*d had never even heard of the chinchorro mummies until i came to chile. now, this is crazy because they�*re the old mummies in the world, and everyone of course has heard of the egyptian mummies, but not the chinchorro mummies. so i get the feeling that things here are slowly changing and maybe in the future they�*ll get the recognition that they deserve. and along with this renewed appreciation of ancient chilean culture, there�*s also a greater focus forming on the stunning and unique landscapes and wildlife that you�*ll find here. i headed south to patagonia�*s new route of parks. here, 17 old and new national parks
6:54 am
are joined together to create a huge network of wild areas to explore, an area the size of switzerland. it�*s been one outcome from the largest private land donation in history to create a conservation project on a vast scale. myjourney to its heart takes me six hours in a 4x4. so, we�*ve blown a tire, and as you can see behind me, the road is pretty rough. we�*ve hit one of these huge potholes and i guess that�*s part of the story of tourism here. you know, the infrastructure is still a work in progress. but, fortunately, all the locals have been super helpful. for two american philanthropists, doug and kris tompkins, the route of parks was just one part of a decades—long project in both chile and argentinian patagonia. over the course of 30 years, doug, kris and the tompkins conversation organisation bought 2 million acres
6:55 am
of land across chile and argentina. i am very proud of what we do because every hectare we have ever purchased goes right back to the people of the country. if you want to conserve a territory and bring back species who�*ve gone toward a point where their numbers are quite low, you have to, a, consult the geniuses of the place who are the people who�*ve lived here for a very long time, because we�*re coming in and we don�*t really know that much about how these areas function, and they do. the chilean gaucho traditionally is a horseman skilled at protecting cattle and sometimes hunting predators. but gaucho don daniel now has
6:56 am
a wider view of predators which are an important part of the wildlife ecosystem. he now monitors and protects native deer. today, he uses modern techniques to track the huemuls nearby. so, the signal�*s quite strong when we point the antenna that way. it�*s like one of those tv antennas from the �*70s or �*80s that you had on your roof.
6:57 am
but it seems to be doing the job. oh, yep. i can hear it. 99% of the original huemul population are thought to have been lost, placing the breed on the endangered list. with don daniel�*s help, we soon spot something in the distance. gosh, look at don daniel go. so, we�*ve actually found a huemul deer. can you see him in the distance? he�*s just sitting there in the grass and he�*s quite well camouflaged. we move for a closer look and quickly see
6:58 am
that there are in fact three huemul together. so we�*re approaching the deer from a lower ground angle so we don�*t scare them. it�*s unbelievable that now the numbers have grown and we�*ve been able to track them within the space of a quarter of an hour, and here we are,
6:59 am
and we�*re able to get this close to them. doug tompkins sadly never saw his plan with kris finalised as he passed away in 2015. a good friend of mine from new york city wrote to me just a few days after he died and she said, "look, you have a choice here. "you can be the long—suffering widow "or you can get out of bed and go do these things." and she was right. i had... that was a conscious decision i was going to have to make, and so ijust thought, ok, let�*s go for it. and that�*s when i started trying to tie up everything, and within two years, we had them all donated. wow.
7:00 am
and that was a lot of work. and i think it saved my life, needing to do that. yeah. i think there�*s a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in chile right now, young and old. and, certainly, the environment is one of the big platforms of this new administration. ijust don�*t think i was expecting what an amazing place of contrast this country is. but at the same time, there�*s lots bringing it together at the moment, like a new focus on the environment and conservation, an ambition to set a new course to the future, treasuring their common heritage and their common land for generations to come.
7:01 am
tourism. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: fearing for the months ahead. children�*s charities express serious concern about young people spending winter in cold homes, as energy bills soar. a second man is arrested on suspicion of the murder of 9—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool. tributes continue to pour and for olivia. the home secretary pledges more money for merseyside to help take guns of the streets. the government pledges what it calls the strictest targets ever to tackle

sewage discharges into england�*s rivers. england take control of the second test against south africa. captain ben stokes leads by example with his first century as captain. for most of you, a dry start to the weekend with warm spells of sunshine to look forward to. for the afternoon, one or two isolated showers popping up for one or two, but for most it stays dry. a closer look at the weather details a little bit later. it�*s saturday 27th august. children�*s charities are warning of the serious risk to young people this winter, as households struggle with the rising cost of energy bills. the government is being urged to offer more financial support, following yesterday�*s announcement of an 80% increase to the price cap, as frances read reports.
7:03 am
becky has a full—time job but, for the first time, she�*s having to choose between feeding her young family and being able to pay for gas or electric. i have never had to use a foodbank before, i had to use one twice in the past two weeks, and purely because my money can�*t stretch anywhere anymore. it�*s the same for maureen, also worrying about how much each load will cost. her and her husband george are now looking at making dramatic savings ahead of the winter. we�*re scared. in the past we could go out and about, meet friends, go for lunch, you know, treat my grandchildren, go to the pictures. we thought about it really carefully and we thought, there�*s no way, there is no way on this earth that we are going to be able to pay those bills and continue life as it was before. the price set by the regulator ofgem is rising by 80% in october. a typical annual energy bill paid by direct debit is currently £1971. in october, that will rise to £3549.
7:04 am
prepayment metre customers will pay an extra £59 per year, taking the new typical bill on a metre to £3608. as charities warn about the impact of those rises on families, now a real concern is that lives could be at risk and create further strains on the nhs. this is going to add further pressure on that health system and put it under even more pressure. we will get avoidable deaths unless we intervene now. labour has accused the government of failing to meet the scale of the national emergency, and said that millions could be left without support. the government says it will provide help, but pressure is going on the conservative party leader candidates to outline further plans. it�*s really important that people know they�*re not alone,
7:05 am
that there are so many people out there facing the same challenges and that organisations like ours, like citizens advice, are here to help. but given the scale of these rises, there�*s only so much that we can do and it�*s absolutely critical that the government urgently look at extra support for people this winter. heating and cooking are but some of the bare essentials, but these are among other things that families may have to go without, hoping that the consequences for them won�*t be too severe. frances read, bbc news. after nine o�*clock this morning, we�*ll be answering your questions about rising energy costs with a panel of experts. keep your questions coming in, will be looking at what we can do now any savings tips that are possible and obviously looking at what the future might hold in terms of rising costs. the chancellor nadhim zahawi is warning that middle earners as well as those on low incomes

it follows another arrest of a 36—year—old man, made by armed police on thursday. both are being questioned by detectives, as alice key reports. a young girl adored by herfamily, the killing of olivia pratt—korbel has horrified people in liverpool and beyond. last night, police arrested a 33—year—old man near the scene of the shooting on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder. it is the second arrest made this week. this aerial footage from a police helicopter shows the moment a 36—year—old man was detained by armed officers on thursday night. olivia�*s mother, cheryl, was injured in the attack as well as 35—year—old joseph nee, the man police believe was the intended target. detectives say this is the car that took him to hospital. they want to speak to anyone who saw it in the days leading up to or after the shooting. an outpouring of grief from the community is clear looking

at the flowers and cards left at the scene. yesterday, the home secretary priti patel visited to see for herself. former players from liverpool and everton football clubs have also paid their respects. managerjurgen klopp told a press conference that the club�*s thoughts and prayers were with olivia�*s family. i can�*t even imagine how it must feel. it is absolutely horrible only to think about it, and it is such a tragedy. if we can help in anyway, we will. that is clear — that must be clear. and police are still urging anyone with information to come forward to helping those responsible to justice. alice key, bbc news. our reporter katie barnfield is at the scene for us this morning. katie, there have been four killings in the region this week alone, prompting a visit from the home secretary yesterday. what was said?
7:10 am
yes, when priti patel visited she said she understood the immense impact olivia�*s death has had on the community and pledged half £1 million of extra funding, £350,000 of that money is going towards rolling out an anti—gun and no crime piloted across the whole of merseyside. £150,000 is going to go towards mental health support for the community here, and also to local schools. the community here, and also to localschools. but the community here, and also to local schools. but many people here say they need continued support, not just a olivia was called after a spate of gun and knife attacks in this area. you canjust spate of gun and knife attacks in this area. you can just see the impact this has had on the community here, from the amount of tributes that keep pouring in. huge amounts of flowers, teddy bears, notes left for olivia and the former liverpool captain steven gerrard said yesterday that he felt personally devastated by her death. i think that�*ll echo the feelings of many
7:11 am
people around here today. newly released court documents have revealed why a judge authorised a search of donald trump�*s florida estate earlier this month. the fbi told the us department ofjustice they expected to find evidence of obstruction at his mar—a—lago home and believed that contraband or other illegal items would be discovered. gareth barlow has the details. this is the remarkable document used to justify one of the most historic fbi raids in us history. amid the blacked—out text, agents argued they had probable cause to believe, in their words, that evidence, contraband, fruits of crimes or other items illegally possessed would be discovered at the former president�*s mar—a—lago estate. the criminal investigation and eighth of august search began after the national archives, which maintains white house records, identified classified files among 15 boxes recovered from mar—a—lago in january this year. an fbi review recovered 184 classified documents,
7:12 am
including 25 marked as top secret. it is unprecedented. since the presidential records act of 1978, and which i helped draft, that this is the first time a president ever carted off to his home documents that were prepared in the course of his presidency. those documents belong to the united states, not any individual. the former president, along with his legal team, argues he has the right to declassify the documents, and he has already done so. legal experts question those claims — as did, on friday, president biden. "well, ijust want you to know i�*ve declassified everything "in the world! "i�*m president. i can do it all." come on! declassified everything. i�*m not going to comment. i don�*t know the detail. i don�*t even want to know. let the justice department take care of it. of the 32 pages that triggered the search of mr trump�*s beachfront property, 21 were blacked out and several contained no visible words at all, the fbi arguing that revealing the identities
7:13 am
of witnesses could potentially lead them to being subjected to harm, including retaliation, intimidation and even threats to physical safety. the justice department was also concerned that if they laid out what the document doesn�*t address is what agents discovered in the 11 boxes they retrieved from mar—a—lago earlier this month. investigations expected to continue now behind closed doors as it reviews the documents and potentially calls more witnesses. we may hear nothing more until we learn if criminal charges will be laid. gareth barlow, bbc news. garden centres in england will be banned from selling peat compost from 2024. the move follows a public consultation and is part of efforts to fight global warming, as our environment correspondent, helen briggs explains. this dark, wet stuff is peat — dark, organic matter and much loved by gardeners for nourishing plants. but because of environmental concerns, you will soon no longer be able to buy peat combustor
7:14 am
garden centres in england. if you dig it up out of the ground it is very valuable as a carbon score, it is broken down and all of that carbon is emitted into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. we have been working really hard to try and find a way of protecting these peatlands and stopping this use. there are alternatives, they are developing all the time. when the ban comes into effect sometime in 2024, gardeners will have to switch to peat—free compost or make their own, but environmental groups say that with peat still being dug up in counties such as somerset this comes too little, too late. in the uk, we are storing about 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon in peat, so we need to protect that, keep the peat on the ground and keep it wet. however, it isn�*t enough. it is not quick enough.
7:15 am
so the ban on retail sales of peat is not going to end peat extraction and peat extraction is continuing. peat mining has been part of british life for centuries, providing jobs and income. the industry is on the wane but peat is still being extracted to make compost in some palces. but sites the closing with this area turned into a major concern. environmentalists say these areas are just beautiful, they are essential in the fight against climate change. helen briggs, bbc news. good morning to you. chris is taking a look at the weather for us. lovely picture again, chris. good morning. yes, this was the start to the day that some of you will have had this morning in southern hampshire. this is gosport, the son just poking above the clouds there, and the
7:16 am
weather has in store some witty decent conditions throughout the whole of the bank holiday weekend for those of you that have the bank holiday. sunny spells, one or two showers building later on today. the satellite picture shows some thick cloud working towards northern ireland. this will be bringing some patchy outbreaks of rain across western counties here on and off through the day. away from that feature it is a largely dry morning. an odd shower across the midlands but otherwise fine with some spells of sunshine. the early morning mist and fog patches lifting across western scotland but into the afternoon there will be a few showers building up. across southern england they will form inland from the south coast. the south coast itself will stay dry. one or two showers in north—west england, northumberland and a few for eastern scotland, but for these areas i have mentioned there will be hardly any showers around so you still have a decent chance of staying dry throughout. temperatures today reaching the low 20s so it will feel warm and sunny spells. 25 degrees the warmest spot around the greater london area. overnight tonight, dry with clear spells for most although
7:17 am
we will see this figure cloud working into western scotland with some more persistent and heavy rain getting across the western isles and into the highlands by the end of the night. temperatures ten to 14 degrees and there could be one or two mist and fog patches building. tomorrow morning any early morning mist and fog clears and lifts. sunny spells developing widely. one or two showers were northern ireland and scotland, but are largely dry picture for tomorrow as well. temperatures not changing a great deal either, 20 to 24 celsius for most of us. heading into bank holiday monday which many of us have, this area of high pressure dominating the weather picture. the winds coming around that across the north sea, so there will be a certain freshness to the area around the east coast of scotland and england and after a fine and sunny start to the day, a little bit of cloud bubbling up into the early afternoon, bringing in a few isolated showers. but for the vast majority it is another dry day. temperatures 18 degrees in glasgow, 19 for belfast, the warmest spots in
7:18 am
southern england and wales, temperatures pushing on into the mid—20s. forthose temperatures pushing on into the mid—20s. for those of you heading on into the notting hill carnival, which of course is on for the first time since the pandemic, we�*re looking at largely dry conditions here well, the wind is staying pretty light throughout. the fine weather stays for most of us throughout next week although there will be some thick cloud working into scotland and northern ireland, threatening some rain right towards the end of the week. still a lot of dry weather to come and a lot of sunshine as well. that�*s how things are looking. back to you. we�*ve been talking about energy costs this morning after the price cap on household bills rose by 80%. unlike in the rest of the uk, northern ireland is not regulated by a price cap, meaning customers are more vulnerable to rapid prices changes. jane mccormack reports. # what a friend we have injesus... sharing a song is something

7:23 am
forecast that the energy price would increase to £600 by next spring. this is a catastrophe. these are costs that people simply cannot afford. and as a consequence of that, government has a responsibility to step in. but of course, it�*s notjust about consumers. it�*s about the impact it has on businesses. i met a number of businesses in central scotland yesterday that said it was a real threat that many businesses, good businesses, could go to the wall over the winter period. and the impact of that, of high unemployment, of the government not collecting tax and national insurance, this is an emergency as big as the covid crisis and in such a scenario the government has a responsibility to act. but if i can say so, i think it is worse than that. what we�*re doing is we�*re fuelling inflation. let�*s make a contrast with a country like france, where they have restrained the growth in energy prices to 4%. that is because they _ growth in energy prices to 4%. that is because they do _ growth in energy prices to 4%. that is because they do own and have state control over their major energy supplier. state control over their ma'or energy append state control over their ma'or energy supplied state control over their ma'or energy supplier. state control over their ma'or

7:25 am
this story. what and to be fair, we have limited time, so in terms of that, we have been aware ofjust how worrying this is. i am trying to get some practical answers, practical solutions that are being offered. so nicola sturgeon said her government will provide practical steps to help households and businesses through the crisis. what are they? brute households and businesses through the crisis. what are they?— the crisis. what are they? we have done that already, _ the crisis. what are they? we have done that already, in _ the crisis. what are they? we have done that already, in particular- done that already, in particular with— done that already, in particular with the — done that already, in particular with the child payments. it started at £10 _ with the child payments. it started at £10 and — with the child payments. it started at £10 and that has increased twice since _ at £10 and that has increased twice since then, — at £10 and that has increased twice since then, so we are putting cash on the _ since then, so we are putting cash on the table to help the most vulnerable. the simple fact of the matter— vulnerable. the simple fact of the matter is— vulnerable. the simple fact of the matter is that these powers are reserved — matter is that these powers are reserved i_ matter is that these powers are reserved. i would love these powers to be _ reserved. i would love these powers to be with _ reserved. i would love these powers to be with the scottish government and then— to be with the scottish government and then ultimately if we want to control— and then ultimately if we want to control these things — and let's not forget _ control these things — and let's not forget that— control these things — and let's not forget that in scotland almost all of our _ forget that in scotland almost all of our energy is generated from renewables and we're not seeing these _ renewables and we're not seeing these price pressures. are paying a price _ these price pressures. are paying a price for— these price pressures. are paying a price for a — these price pressures. are paying a price for a failure of westminster to control— price for a failure of westminster to control the input cost in the way that they— to control the input cost in the way that they can and the failure to have _ that they can and the failure to have an — that they can and the failure to have an energy policy that recognises that we have to move away from gas _ recognises that we have to move away from gas. the recognises that we have to move away from as. ., , from gas. the scottish government can't do anything — from gas. the scottish government can't do anything new— from gas. the scottish government can't do anything new at _ from gas. the scottish government can't do anything new at this i from gas. the scottish government i can't do anything new at this moment can�*t do anything new at this moment in time, so those practical steps

7:27 am
budget is fixed. what we�*re talking about is a of living crisis, largely an energy crisis, and it is the responsibility of the westminster government to recognise now that it needs to step in to stop this increase in the energy being forced on consumers, to stop people, ultimately, facing perhaps even an early death as a consequence of not being able to turn the heating on. so let�*s keep the pressure where it needs to be, on the westminster government and this ridiculous debate they are having about tax cuts from the two tory candidates, and recognise, right now, today, that we need to take action to protect consumers and businesses. ian blackford, snp leader in westminster, thank you for your time on the programme. last week, pollution warnings were in place on nearly 50 beaches in england after heavy rainfall meant untreated sewage was being pumped into the sea. the government has now published a plan to clean up england�*s sewage system, promising the strictest targets ever on water companies, as our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall explains.
7:28 am
over the past week, people have been warned to stay away from dozens of teachers across england and wales because of untreated sewage pouring into rivers and the sea. hazardous for beach—goers and deadly for animals, these pictures are from a river near swindon. pollution from a thames water pumping station killed at least 1000 fish and countless smaller creatures. almost all life on this stretch of riverjust wiped out. against this backdrop, the government has published its plan to clean up the sewage system. it claims that the water companies will now face the strict ever pollution targets. it says billions of pounds must be invested on improving infrastructure, but it will be part funded by an increase in water bills. �* :: funded by an increase in water bills. �* i: ., funded by an increase in water bills. �* :: ., 11,5 :: bills. between 2025 and 2030, the avera . e bills. between 2025 and 2030, the average annual— bills. between 2025 and 2030, the average annual rise _ bills. between 2025 and 2030, the average annual rise in _ bills. between 2025 and 2030, the average annual rise in water i bills. between 2025 and 2030, the average annual rise in water bills l average annual rise in water bills will be about £12. that in the context of other pressures on household incomes is, i think,

7:31 am
however, you are watching breakfast. good morning. holly has a small forest this morning. we have been talking about lots of puns about these teams. you have been enjoying this today. to give _ you have been enjoying this today. to give some context, we have ben stokes _ to give some context, we have ben stokes and — to give some context, we have ben stokes and foakes. i stokes and foakes. ilove _ stokes and foakes. i love partners in roma. i love partners in roma. i like that. a century each for them in at the second test. england
7:32 am
really taking control. the partnership — an ben stokes, what an incredible result for him. his first century as captain. a lot of pressure on that moment, and for foakesis pressure on that moment, and for foakes is welcome his first century at home in four years. really putting england in control. saying that, the needs and for foakes is welcome his first century at home in four years. welcome his first century at home in fouryears. really welcome his first century at home in four years. really putting england in control. saying that, the need some wickets now with south africa starting their second innings on day three. 23 without loss for 241 runs behind, but yes, it is all about ben stokes on day two, delighting the crowd at old trafford with his first century as captain. look at that, even smashing the ball into the half. then, foakes whether tana, on 113 when declaring on a 415 — nine, a lead of 264. 23 without loss, closing — 241 runs behind. it's closing — 241 runs behind. it�*s an amazing feeling, obviously,
7:33 am
having, yes, any hundred is special but to get one here, i guess you feel the support of the crowd. it is very obvious how positive the fibres, how much everyone backs each other, so i think it is a very positive environment to be in. the wild women have beaten the northern superjudges by 11 runs in cardiff, the victory didn�*t look likely but they cruise to the target before collapsing later on. nicola took three wickets. later on, superchargers in the manns beach. raducanu looked to be having some trouble with her wrist in practice ahead of the defence of the us open title next week. twice she had caught with her physio. she feels
7:34 am
elize on tuesday and so she is taking things one is match at a time. i think you guys are thinking about pressure and ranking more than me. i think that, you know, defending the title is just something that the press makes up but i am just taking it one match at a time like every single player, they are all capable in desk drawer. i�*m focusing on my own trajectory, just things i want to do my way. her career isjust to do my way. her career is just getting under way, but ellen white has now revealed that a punctured longer last year influence the decision to call time on her career. the englishwoman�*s record goalscorer admitted it cast a shadow over the last 12 months in the game. it was a really traumatic time for me, something that i�*m still kind of figuring out now, still working
7:35 am
through, but yes, for me obviously i don�*t want that to happen to anyone ever again. yes, don�*t want that to happen to anyone everagain. yes, it don�*t want that to happen to anyone ever again. yes, it was a challenging time for me something i�*m still working through, but one of the reasons potentially retiring as well. at the time i think for me ijust get into is on like i need to get that play on, we have these games, i want to be back in michael godden favour england, it wasn�*t until a few month later that it hit me, what happened, how traumatic it was. the interview will be on football focus this afternoon at 12 o�*clock. sheffield united missed the opportunity to go four points clear to the top of the championship after drawing 1—1 away. ollie mcburney scored the equaliser after the break. the blades are unbeaten in the league, two points ahead of watford on the top of the table. in
7:36 am
the premier league, manchester united will look to build on their victory over liverpool when they travel to southampton for the lunchtime kickoff. united beat liverpool 2—1 at old trafford on monday, and of course that result followed defeats to brighton and brentford. the followed defeats to brighton and brentford. , , ., , ., ., , brentford. the spirit was already rood, but brentford. the spirit was already good. but it _ brentford. the spirit was already good, but it was _ brentford. the spirit was already good, but it was even _ brentford. the spirit was already good, but it was even better, i brentford. the spirit was already good, but it was even better, it. brentford. the spirit was already | good, but it was even better, it is clear, but it is only one game. we need to build further, develop, and i think everyone is aware of that. i said before the game, liverpool is, especially last year, the best playing football team for me in the world, and when you beat them it must give us a lot of confidence, clearly. liverpool have made a lacklustre start to the season with two drawers followed by the defeat at old trafford. this afternoon they will be taking on the newly promoted bournemouth. the boys are not guilty of that,
7:37 am
that they expect to slide easily into the season, but it is of to close the season, definitely, and say that as is for us, and stuff like this. nobody knows what we can achieve at the end at the end of the season but between allen and —— now and then there are a lot of points to get and we should start collecting them. the chelsea manager will be banned from the touchline for the game today against leicester, admitting that his behaviour was improper and clashing with after conte, being fined 35000 pounds. st helens could have clinched the shield but lost 30—ten to the great rivals, we can. they led 18—two, and the drop scorer rounded off a great beginning with his second score of the match. his
7:38 am
29th try of the season. that sealed at least a second paul egan and a semi—final spot, they need just one point to take the shield. max verstappen and charles leclerc the second fastest in the grand prix but they will both be starting the raise from the back of the grid after receiving engine penalties. sans was quickest and first practice. a thrilling stage seven of la vuelta has been won. sprinting away to perfection, holding off the italian to win back the second stage of his career. the belgian retained his 2ist career. the belgian retained his 21st second overall lead over the frenchmen. you have that look in your eyes, i
7:39 am

progress! i didn�*t say it was complete, i did say that, didn�*t i? you how but they don�*t now. that�*s all, foakes. well done. airport fees have increased recently. let�*s go through the details. stanford continues to have the most expensive charge with a fee of £7, rising from £4 of a ten minute, back in 2019. heathrow and gatwick charge £5 for drop—off, also the fee at manchester airport which has risen from £3 in 2019, however if you want to travel from cardiff, london city or belfast city airport you may be pleasantly surprised as for now they have free drop—off areas at terminal entrances. let�*s talk now to nick lees from the

rac. some people may not have tried to drop off at an airport for a while and this might all be new to them entirely, can you go through them entirely, can you go through the very basics? if you are trying to drop off at those airports that we mentioned, you are going to have to pay? yes, that�*s right, and this is yes, that's right, and this is something that has been introduced in the _ something that has been introduced in the last— something that has been introduced in the last 15 years or so. what these — in the last 15 years or so. what these fears represent are effectively the terminal for cords or the _ effectively the terminal for cords or the nearest point to the departure terminal. what we have seen _ departure terminal. what we have seen over— departure terminal. what we have seen over a — departure terminal. what we have seen overa number of departure terminal. what we have seen over a number of years is these fears— seen over a number of years is these fears rising _ seen over a number of years is these fears rising and rising and rising, so if— fears rising and rising and rising, so if you — fears rising and rising and rising, so if you are _ fears rising and rising and rising, so if you are dropping a lot one of the summer you so if you are dropping a lot one of the summeryou might so if you are dropping a lot one of the summer you might be so if you are dropping a lot one of the summeryou might be in so if you are dropping a lot one of the summer you might be in for a so if you are dropping a lot one of the summeryou might be in fora bit ofa the summeryou might be in fora bit of a shock— the summeryou might be in fora bit of a shock because some of these prices _ of a shock because some of these prices are — of a shock because some of these prices are pretty steep. how— prices are pretty steep. how are theyjustified by those how are they justified by those airports that are increasing them to this degree? airports will say that they want to

7:46 am
are right, and the weather playing ball. for most of us it will be dry throughout the next few days. just a few isolated showers here and there. a beautiful start to the day, this is weymouth in dorset for the last hour or so, showing the early morning sunrise. you can see the bright sky coming up from the sun, caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere. today a lot of dry weather with the odd shower around. looking at the satellite picture, most of us have these clear skies but we do have some thick cloud edging into western areas of northern ireland, and that is rain bearing cloud so you will see damp weather in western counties for a time eventually working into western scotland where at the moment we have a few mist and fog patches that are still yet to clear. for most of us a bright start to the day with morning sunshine. it is only into the afternoon that we see a few showers cropping up across southern england, a few into the west midlands, one or two for north—west england, north—east england and east scotland but even in these there will be hardly any cloud around so most of
7:47 am
us will stay dry throughout. the wind staying late, 20 degrees for glasgow and belfast and up to 25 degrees and the greater london area. overnight tonight the cloud will tend to melt away so we will have clear spells across england and wales. the cloud for scotland, bringing something slightly heavier bursts of rain, and temperatures ten to 14 degrees. tomorrow, the emphasis is on a lot of dry weather, the exception will be parts of scotland where we will see that the cloud and there could be a few showers. maybe one or two for northern ireland as well. most of england and wales fine, little bit of cloud bubbling up into the afternoon but staying dry for most of you. temperatures not changing too much, highs of 20 in glasgow, for birmingham and 24 or so for cardiff. into next week, this area of high pressure that�*s keeping us fine and dry for the moment stays with the cooler winds in the north sea, eastern areas of england knocking a degree or so off the
7:48 am
temperatures. after a sunny start, a bit more cloud bubbling up for a time. for most of you it stays dry with some more sunshine coming through. some of the highest temperatures for southern wales and south—west england, and bridges around 24 degrees in the warmest spots. a bit fresher around some of those north sea coasts and we have the notting hill carnival, the really big day is on the monday. we will see dry weather for the most part. again, the tiny chance of a shower here. looking beyond that, high—pressure stays with us for most of next week so fine with some sunny spells. some rain eventually turning up spells. some rain eventually turning up across scotland and northern ireland, arriving right towards the end of the week. not much rain in the forecast, largely dry picture thanks to that of high pressure. back to you. thanks to that of high pressure. ltrack to yon-— thanks to that of high pressure. back to ou. . ~' ,. , . ~ back to you. thank you very much. we will be back— back to you. thank you very much. we will be back at — back to you. thank you very much. we will be back at eight _ back to you. thank you very much. we will be back at eight a.m.. _ will be back at eight a.m.. meanwhile, enjoy the film review.

welcome to the film review on bbc news. what is in store this week? first up, idris elba taking on an angry lion in the survival thriller called beast. then a drama called her way. and penelope cruz and antonio banderas sending up the film industry. antonio banderas sending up the film indust . , �* .,, . industry. first, beast, in which idris industry. first, beast, in which idris elba— industry. first, beast, in which idris elba fights _ industry. first, beast, in which idris elba fights a _ industry. first, beast, in which idris elba fights a lion. - industry. first, beast, in which idris elba fights a lion. he i industry. first, beast, in which| idris elba fights a lion. he plays industry. first, beast, in which i idris elba fights a lion. he plays a widower who goes to south africa to see their friend on a reserve trying to protect the lions, but some evil purchase have been doing quite the opposite and one lion becomes very
7:50 am
angry and goes setting after humans to attack. let�*s have look at the clip. 0k. you up here? huh? get in the car now! i was just about to say, do we actually see the lion? and then, yeah, you do. you do. obviously, there�*s some superb
7:51 am
visual effects involved here, but it feels very convincing. it is a bit of a nail biter, i would say. probably not as much action as i was expecting. there�*s a lot of sort of pauses while they build the characters and talk to each other. and there�*s the whole storyline about the family having lots of tension. but i think in the action scenes it is quite exciting. one of the issues for me here is that there�*s no real winners in this story. it�*s not one of those things with an obvious baddie, i mean, because it�*s a bit of a lose—lose situation. whoever wins in this scenario because you feel very sorry for the lion whose pride has been killed. so it�*s quite a sad story in a way. so it�*s not a popcorn thriller in the old—fashioned sense, but idris elba�*s very good and he plays a kind of everyman hero. this isn�*t the kind of heroic kind of story about a man who�*s going to save his family by turning into a total action hero. he�*s he looks visibly scared, which seems a bit more realistic in a way. and, yes, it does.
7:52 am
it looks very beautiful as well as these films do when they�*re shot somewhere like that. next, the french film her way. now, it�*s a cert 18. so that might give us a bit of a clue. yeah, i�*ll tell you why in a second. it starts off, it�*s more like a traditional drama. it�*s about a woman who�*s trying to help her young son. he�*s a teenager. he wants to go to a very expensive chef school. she can�*t really afford to send him there. one of the reasons for that is that she�*s a prostitute. so she�*s a sex worker, she�*s self—employed. she pays her taxes. but the trouble is there are a lot of problems that obviously come along with that in terms of legal issues and trying to get a loan. so it�*s the story of one woman who happens to have an unusual job trying to look after her son and fend for her son. and ifound this rather interesting because you don�*t normally see this kind of story on screen. are there any twists in it or is it literally the story of her struggle and her despair at times? i wouldn�*t say it�*s twist driven, but it does enter into thriller territory towards the end because she starts to take more and more extreme measures
7:53 am
to try and find the money. this is a fantastic central performance and she really does strike you as a bulldozer, a woman who will try to get this no matter what she wants. and also, if you�*re interested in characters, which i am, i think in family dynamics, this is quite sophisticated. there are some wonderful scenes between the mother and the son where you see the tension between them and you see her kind of shouting at this sullen teenager, not knowing how to deal with him. and you as a viewer are going, just calm down, both of you, and talk. and he�*s sort of waiting for that resolution to come. yeah, that�*ll resonate with a lot of parents, probably, won�*t it? and the lead actor here, she�*ll be quite well known to a lot of people in this country. that�*s right. from call my agent on netflix and of course, a beautiful actress. she�*s fantastic in this role. she feels very authentic to me in this. there�*s a lot of research that�*s gone into it, i think. and is her son aware of what she does for a living? he is. and that, again, adds tension to the story because you don�*t see them discussing the nature of her work initially. but you sense that�*s a source
7:54 am
of great tension in the house and then it comes to a bit of a head. third then is official competition with some very big names in this film. well, i�*m a big fan of a lot of the people involved in this film. it stars penelope cruz as a kind of way out larger—than—life film director, official competition. she plays a fantastic woman, lola cuevas, who is quite pretentious, and she�*s hired to make a very expensive film on the whim of a producer who�*s got a lot of money to spend. she decides to spend nine days workshopping with her two ideal actors, and they�*re played by antonio banderas and oscar martinez. let�*s have a look at a clip.
7:55 am
7:56 am
it�*s very understated, isn�*t it? but you can feel the tension between the egos. absolutely. so you see from that, you�*ve got two very, very different styles of acting that they�*ve purposely put together. and one is a very pompous a—lister who�*s quite full of himself, but actually feeling quite vulnerable with all these arthouse directors and actors around him. and the other is, of course, is, you know, lectures to students. and seeing that oneupmanship develop over the time that they�*re workshopping this film is very entertaining. and i think whether or not you�*re interested in film, it is actually really funny. and penelope cruz, it was very different, isn�*t she, in this? she does indeed. wonderful costumes and hair in this. i wanted all her outfits as extreme as they were. but also, i think what�*s great is that we see another side to her. i mean, she�*s always done comedy with the likes of pedro almodovar, but often in the more dramatic roles.
7:57 am
but here she is, the centre of the story, and she really is the comedy of the story in many ways as well. she�*s fantastic. yeah, i look forward to seeing it. i�*ve seen these posters for this film for quite a few weeks now. it seems to have had quite a bit of a push and it has really caught my eye. there�*s something about it, even in posterform, that pulls you in. it�*s visually stunning and i do think you will enjoy it. i certainly laughed a lot and it goes to great extremes, increasingly absurd extremes. so there�*s some laugh—out—loud moments later in the film. spanish films seem to do quite well at british box offices. i mean, maybe not in all cinemas, but they seem to have cut through in a way that maybe other foreign language films haven�*t. i think they have a wonderful sense of humour that perhaps the british enjoy sometimes, and this is definitely one of those cases. it almost feels if it was a british film or, rather, a hollywood film, it could be directed by the coen brothers. it has that kind of mass appeal, sending up the film industry, very affectionate humour. and of course, over here we tend to only get the very best spanish films,
7:58 am
and this is one of those. yes, we are treated to that. and there�*s always something meta about it as well, isn�*t it? the film industry, looking at the film industry totally. i mean, it�*s quite funny seeing these actors sending up acting, thinking i wonder if they�*ve actually ever said that in real life or done that in real life? there�*s a hilarious, absurd scene where she makes them bring their awards in and then destroys them in front of them while they�*re completely immobilized. and you think, gosh, i wonder if that actually ever happened? over the power. our producer this week of the film review is paloma and she�*s from madrid. so i�*m sure she approves of this choice. next, anotherforeign language film, french again, and anais in love, which is the best out. is it deliberate that you�*ve chosen all of these? accidental? so well, actually at the moment, as has been widely publicised recently, there�*s not a lot of popcorn blockbusters in cinemas because it�*s the summer and also pandemic related. but also, i like to choose some of the best films and, quite frankly, some of the best films out this week are foreign language. and we�*ve got a lovely french film called anais in love. it�*s a very engaging,
7:59 am
romantic comedy about a young woman who has an affair with a man and then actually transfers her attentions to his female partner. so it all gets very interesting. but again, really well scripted, great characters, a lot of fun, terrific performances. yeah, i also read that as a character, you�*d probably not really want to spend too much time with her, but she�*s quite an engaging character on screen. she�*s quite a complex character. she�*s someone that probably is quite annoying to watch. i think she�*d be quite magnetic to hang outwith, actually. she sort of... then you would get annoyed with her after the event �*cause she�*d never call you or never say anything she ever promised that she�*d do. she�*s a woman that lives in the moment, but very sparkly performance and, yeah, quite sophisticated script. and this one is... has it had much uptake in the cinemas? has it been sort of independent cinemas more than anywhere? well, yeah, it�*s a curzon film, so you�*re mostly finding it in curzon cinemas, but also now on digital as well. and home cinema, the best dvd. all my friends hate me. a psychological drama about what your mind can do to itself. it is a lot about mental health, about paranoia, about anxiety, but on the face
8:00 am
of it, it starts off like it could be a richard curtis movie. it�*s a sort of country house, university reunion, lots of quite posh friends getting together. and then one guy suddenly starts to think, do my friends actually hate me? and he starts to unravel. and we see everything through his eyes, which i find really interesting because you�*re starting to question, you know, is he imagining this and you�*re feeling his paranoia with him? so it�*s almost edging on psychological horror. but i thought it was very clever and it kept me awake at night in a good way thinking about it. yeah, and how did — did it do well in the cinema? i think it�*s it, well, again, it�*s on the arthouse level, but i think if you�*re a fan of the likes of ben wheatley, then this is a film that if you missed it in cinema, you should catch it on dvd from monday. anna, lovely to see you as always. thank you, anna smith. that�*s it for this week. thanks for watching. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today.
8:01 am
fearing for the months ahead — children�*s charities express serious concern about young people spending winter in cold homes, as energy bills soar. a second man is arrested on suspicion of the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool. as tributes continue to pour in, the home secretary pledges more money for merseyside to help take guns off the streets. in sport england take control over the second test against south africa. the captain leading by example. we meet the singing teacher who says he was "gobsmacked" when billie eilish used his social media tutorial to duet with him. good morning. for most of you, we�*re looking at a dry start to the weekend with some warm spells of sunshine
8:02 am
to look forward to. but for the afternoon there willjust be one or two isolated showers popping up for one or two, but for most it stays dry throughout the day. i�*ll be taking a closer look at all the weather details a little bit later on — join me then. it�*s saturday 27th august. our main story. children�*s charities are warning of the "serious risk" to young people this winter, as households struggle with the rising cost of energy bills. the government is being urged to offer more financial support, following yesterday�*s announcement of an 80% increase to the price cap — as frances read reports. becky has a full—time job but, for the first time, she�*s having to choose between feeding her young family and being able to pay for gas or electric. i have never had to use a foodbank before, i had to use one twice in the past two weeks, and purely because my money can�*t stretch anywhere any more. it�*s the same for maureen, also worrying about how much each
8:03 am
load will cost. her and her husband george are now looking at making dramatic savings ahead of the winter. we're scared. in the past we could go out and about, meet friends, go for lunch, you know, treat my grandchildren, go to the pictures. we thought about it really carefully and we thought, there's no way, there is no way on this earth that we are going to be able to pay those bills and continue life as it was before. the price set by the regulator ofgem is rising by 80% in october. a typical annual energy bill paid by direct debit is currently £1971. in october, that will rise to £3549. prepayment metre customers will pay an extra £59 per year, taking the new typical bill on a metre to £3608. as charities warn about the impact of those rises on families,
8:04 am
now a real concern is that lives could be at risk and create further strains on the nhs. this is going to add further pressure on that health system and put it under even more pressure. we will get avoidable deaths unless we intervene now. labour has accused the government of failing to meet the scale of the national emergency, and said that millions could be left without support. the government says it will provide help, but pressure is going on the conservative party leader candidates to elevate their plans. it�*s really important that people know they�*re not alone, that there are so many people out there facing the same challenges and that organisations like ours, like citizens advice, are here to help. but given the scale of these rises, there�*s only so much that we can do and it�*s absolutely critical that the government urgently look at extra support for people this winter.
8:05 am
heating and cooking are but some of the bare essentials, but these are among other things that families may have to go without, hoping that the consequences for them won�*t be too severe. frances read, bbc news. after 9:00 o�*clock this morning, we�*ll be answering your questions about rising energy costs with a panel of experts. let�*s speak now to our political correspondent, ione wells. ione — what do we know about any possible support measures from the government? so far as you have outlined there hasn�*t been that much specific detail of what this support could look like. we have had the chancellor, nadhim zahawi, say that family is notjust in those most low income households but also families on middle incomes as well may need more support. he is talking there are bad people are like nurses, teachers, people with salaries up to £45,000, who he says will also be
8:06 am
struggling with some of these bills. the pressure is on the two tory leadership candidates outline exactly what they will do to help people. rishi sunak said he will cut vat on energy bills and offer targeted support on those lowest incomes such as those in receipt of universal credit. liz truss said she would take of green levies on energy bills. apart from that she has been a pretty tight—lipped and certainly is the frontrunner in the contest and is therefore facing pressure to do so. all of the opposition, labour, liberal democrats, snp, have said at the government should just freeze this price cut entirely meaning that bills don�*t go up to anyone. i think there will be pressure on the government to do more and outlines and they quickly whilst we have a new pro minister imposed because the general consensus now is that the support outlined already, that £400 payment for everybody and £650 extra for those in the most vulnerable
8:07 am
households, is simplyjust not enough for people struggling. thank ou ve enough for people struggling. thank you very much- _ police investigating the fatal shooting of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel at her home in liverpool, have arrested a second man on suspicion of murder. he was detained in the dovecot area of the city. it follows another arrest of a 36—year—old man, made by armed police on thursday. both are being questioned by detectives — as alice key reports. a young girl adored by herfamily, the killing of olivia pratt—korbel has horrified people in liverpool and beyond. last night, police arrested a 33—year—old man near the scene of the shooting on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder. it is the second arrest made this week. this aerial footage from a police helicopter shows the moment a 36—year—old man was detained by armed officers on thursday night. olivia�*s mother, cheryl, was injured in the attack as well as 35—year—old joseph nee,
8:08 am
the man police believe was the intended target. detectives say this is the car that took him to hospital. they want to speak to anyone who saw it in the days leading up to or after the shooting. an outpouring of grief from the community is clear looking at the flowers and cards left at the scene. yesterday, the home secretary priti patel visited to see for herself. former players from liverpool and everton football clubs have also paid their respects. managerjurgen klopp told a press conference that the club�*s thoughts and prayers were with olivia�*s family. i can�*t even imagine how it must feel. it is absolutely horrible only to think about it, and it is such a tragedy. if we can help in any kind, we will. that is clear — it must be clear. and police are still urging anyone with information to come forward to helping those responsible to justice. alice key, bbc news.

8:11 am
items would be discovered. mr trump has denied any wrongdoing. garden centres in england will be banned from selling peat compost from 2024. the move follows a public consultation and is part of efforts to fight global warming — as our environment correspondent, helen briggs explains. this dark, wet stuff is peat — dark, organic matter and much loved by gardeners for nourishing plants. but because of environmental concerns, you will soon no longer be able to buy peat combustor garden centres in england. ——compost. if you dig it up out of the ground it is very valuable as a carbon score, it is broken down and all of that carbon is emitted into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. we have been working really hard to try and find a way of protecting these peatlands and stopping this use. there are alternatives, they are developing all the time. when the ban comes into effect sometime in 2024, gardeners
8:12 am
will have to switch to peat—free compost or make their own, but environmental groups say that with peat still being dug up in counties such as somerset, this comes too little, too late. in the uk, we are storing about 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon in peat, so we need to protect that, keep the peat on the ground and keep it wet. however, it isn't enough. it is not quick enough. so the ban on retail sales of peat is not going to end peat extraction and peat extraction is continuing. peat mining has been part of british life for centuries, providing jobs and income. the industry is on the wane but peat is still being extracted to make compost in some places. but sites the closing with this area turned into a major concern. environmentalists say these foggy, wet landscapes aren�*t just beautiful, they are essential
8:13 am
in the fight against climate change. helen briggs, bbc news. here�*s chris with a look at this morning�*s weather. how is it looking for? it's it�*s looking pretty good, some dry weather. this is how we started the day in weymouth. but we have a lot of dry weather to come today. a few showers, not many around today but i will tell you more about them in a moment. the satellite picture shows some thick clouds working into northern ireland that will be bringing outbreaks of rain to western counties of northern ireland. quite light and patchy rain here, otherwise the only place releasing rain this morning is leicestershire. otherwise it�*s a dry picture this morning. into the afternoon there will be a little bit of cloud popping up for a time,
8:14 am
threatening a few showers, they will tend to form in the land from the south coast of england, so just one or two of these areas. a few across the west midlands stretching into north—west england are one or two mac across northumberland and into eastern scotland as well. but for the bulk, a dry —looking day. temperatures today will reach widely in the low 20s so feeling one when the sunshine is out. 25 degrees ins london and the south—east. a bit above average for this time of year. we will take a look at the forecast overnight. some rain across northern ireland and into western scotland. turning increasingly wet here by the end of the night. temperatures ten to 14 degrees. tomorrow, a fine and dry day, it�*s lovely sunny start to most. the exception to that is scotland where we will see some thick cloud and a weak weather front bringing the threat of a few spots of rain and showers for northern ireland as well. temperatures not really changing very much, 20 degrees in glasgow, further southwards 23 around greater
8:15 am
manchester and liverpool. 24th cardiff. high pressure stays in charge of our weather into bank holiday monday. we have the wind is coming around this high pressure across the north sea and that will keep some of our eastern coast of scotland and england just a little bit cooler and fresher. after a sunny side we will see some cloud bubbling up into the afternoon. it may turn cloudy in eastern areas. temperatures, ranging from 18 in glasgow and 19 for belfast, some of the warmest weather will be across the warmest weather will be across the west midlands, south—west england and wales. 24 in cardiff. for those planning on visiting the notting hill carnival, essentially a lot of dry weather, a tiny chance of a shower as we go on through the next three days. beyond that high pressure stays with us so a lot of fine and dry weather into the new week but we are going to see something a cloud in scotland and northern ireland towards the end of the week threatening outbreaks of rain. otherwise the weather is set,
8:16 am
fair, with sunny spells to look forward to. it may not feel like it but winter will come, the prospect of further price rises next year, people are having to consider different ways of cutting back on spending. our business reporter lora jones has more. that�*s one meal sorted — some hot mac and cheese provided by a lunch club at this church in cheltenham. but today people are grateful for the gas the church provides just to cook it. as well as the rising cost of food, energy is a big worry. it�*s just gone up and up, and i didn�*t notice it as much at first, but now i am sort of really noticing it. vicki relies on universal credit to feed her two kids, so she is set to get £650 extra from the government to help with energy bills. but is that now going to be enough? i know they�*ve sort of mentioned they were trying to support families a bit more and, like, give them so much money if they�*re on universal credit.
8:17 am
so i know that helps, but it�*s always a worry because you don�*t know what to expect. like, we�*ve never had such an increase. where is number one? in south staffordshire, joanne is also concerned about the cost of food and energy bills going up. her seven—year—old son, ben, has a condition known as pathological demand avoidance, a branch of autism. and number20! at the moment we pay £84 a month for dual fuel, the gas and the electric. i don't know how much that's going to go up to once we come to october and then next january also. it's constant washing, and it's worrying where we're going to find the extra money from to pay more. food is getting more expensive. with autism, children can have limited foods to eat, so it's not always possible to cut
8:18 am
back and to go to cheaper brands. we are at present having an extension through a disabled facility grant that's provided by the government. i've been fighting for years for this work to be done on the house. it's going to have equipment in it to meet his needs. times are really tough, and it'sjust how much we can continue paying out to meet our family's needs. it's getting really worrying. with energy bills set to rise sharply in october, some charities are expecting millions more could struggle to make ends meet. dom and charlie bought their house in south wales last summer with no expectation that bills would go up as they have. you kind of secure yourself in a mortgage. you secure the amount of energy you�*re going to pay as well, and all of a sudden circumstances beyond your control are pushing that way higher than you could ever imagine. they are not struggling yet,
8:19 am
although they are both taking on extra work and steps at home to reduce their energy usage. if there are any gaps in your seal and it's not working properly, it has to work harder, which obviously then is using more energy. while businesses like the weeping cross fish bar in stafford are not covered by the rate hike, they still have to pass on expenses to customers through higher prices. john evans is hoping for a vat cut. it was a hammer blow to say we�*re going back to 20%. if it was reduced to 12.5%, 10%, it would help us massively. we don�*t have the borrowing power of the larger chains, but we�*re first hit hardest, and it will ripple through into hospitality. it�*s clear that the cost of living will still be a pressing issue for many across the country for months to come. let�*s pick all of those things up.
8:20 am
we�*rejoined now by labour mp darrenjones, who is also the chair of the business, energy and industrial strategy committee. good morning to you. i�*m not sure how much of that report you were able to hear and i wonder, as you as able to hear and i wonder, as you as a constituency mp, so far since that announcement and people have been trying to work out how it�*s going to affect them, what stories are you hearing? affect them, what stories are you hearin. ? . , ., ,, affect them, what stories are you hearinr? . , .,~ , ., , hearing? heartbreaking stories. primarily from _ hearing? heartbreaking stories. primarily from low _ hearing? heartbreaking stories. primarily from low income i hearing? heartbreaking stories. i primarily from low income families and pensioners who are already self disconnecting at their homes, they are turning — disconnecting at their homes, they are turning off their power and their— are turning off their power and theirgas. _ are turning off their power and their gas, they are trying to limit their— their gas, they are trying to limit their energy use as much as possible. _ their energy use as much as possible. they are not really sure what _ possible. they are not really sure what they— possible. they are not really sure what they are going to do. many people _ what they are going to do. many people who are already on low incomes— people who are already on low incomes and finding it difficult with food bank use going up as it was before, theyjust have these debts _ was before, theyjust have these debts racking up on their energy bills and — debts racking up on their energy bills and they have no idea how they are going _ bills and they have no idea how they are going to pay for it. and then you have — are going to pay for it. and then you have businesses in the

8:28 am
just learnt how to bark so he's barking at things as well. so yeah, he's very energetic. ijust look after them and the dogs just do all the work about finding the right home for them so that they're in a forever home and not be abandoned again. with christine, barry is learning to trust people and is finding his personality. barry is the 70th dog christine has fostered. each dog has its own challenges, and if i could keep them all, i would. but they are ready for their forever homes and tears every time one leaves. but itjust means that i can continue doing what i'm doing. there's always another dog in need of of a home. now, the dog's trust urgently needs more people like christine and is appealing for emergency foster carers to come forward. the cost of living crisis is already being felt here at the lead centre and right across the country. this charity has never been busier.
8:29 am
the dogs trust says the number of calls it's had from people wanting to give up a pet is at the highest level its ever seen. injuly, the charity had almost four and a half thousand inquiries, with many callers saying they simply couldn't afford to keep their pets. we're getting more and more dogs needing to come in, people needing help. theyjust can't afford to keep them any more, whether that's to feed them or the veterinary treatment. and it's a heartbreaking decision. if a family's had a dog for many years, it's part of their family. but they have to be able to afford to feed the family and the dog. you know, it'sjust devastating. so many dogs, like rocky and tommy, are still waiting for their homes. buster has gone to a foster carer this afternoon, freeing up desperately needed space. the fear is, as households cut back, the animal welfare system could be facing a crisis.
8:30 am
we run pieces like that we always get inundated with people who are wanting them, but clearly that has changed. the pendulum has swung, there are more dogs that need help than there are people who are ready to take them at the moment. we will be back with — to take them at the moment. we will be back with you _ to take them at the moment. we will be back with you shortly. _ hello, this is breakfast with

8:41 am
documentary to promote! a brilliant piece of publicity. his first as captain. it's farfrom over yet, though. england need wickets now with south africa starting their second innings on day three, 23 without loss, 241 runs behind. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. you don't always choose your partner at the test match. i think they're friends. but here's the combination that changed the game — names meant for each other. ben stokes has been addressing so many issues recently. can he combine the best of his batting with the responsibility of captaincy? absolutely. south africa put their faith in their spin bowlers. stokes enjoyed them. he compiled 100 of patience as well as passion. for years, ben foakes — an outstanding wicket keeper — was overlooked by england because of his perceived limitations as a batter. well, having played the supporting role, he took the initiative in this match — maybe in his career. personal delight in 13 not out, but the stokes culture is everything for the team.
8:42 am
and a total of 415 meant a first—innings lead of 264. i've always loved playing for england but it's very obvious how positive the vibe is and how much everyone backs each other. so i think it's a very positive environment to be in. do you remember how thoroughly england were outplayed at lord's? it's remarkable how quickly they've turned things around here. but the match is not won yet. england now require wickets. no joy so far, chances will come. south africa in their second innings are a long way behind with a long time to play — that's a combination england should enjoy. and for now, which names you choose — stokes or foakes? joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. i think we can have both, can't we?! welsh fire women have their first win in this year's hundred, beating northern superchargers by 11 runs in cardiff.
8:43 am
victory hadn't looked likely with superchargers cruising towards their target of 124. but they collapsed with some great bowling late on. nicola carey took three wickets. superchargers later beat fire in the men's match. emma raducanu looked to be having trouble with a wrist in practice ahead of the defence of her us open title next week. she twice headed off court with her physio. she was even in tears at one point. the world number 11 faces alize cornet in the first round on tuesday, and says that she's taking things one match at a time. i think you guys are probably thinking about pressure and ranking more than me, but i... i think that, you know, defending a title isjust something that the press makes up, but...i'm just, you know, taking it one match at a time. like, every single player is very capable in this draw and ijust focus on what i'm doing — like, my own trajectory. as i said last year, like,
8:44 am
i'm just going to do things my way. just a few days after announcing her retirement, ellen white has revealed how a punctured lung last year influenced the decision to call time on her career. the england women's record goalscorer admits it had cast a shadow over her last 12 months in the game. it was a really kind of traumatic time for me and something that, you know, i'm still kind of figuring out now, still working through. but, yeah, for me, obviously, i don't want that to happen to anyone ever again, really, but... but, yeah, it was a... it was a challenging time for me, and definitely something that i'm still working through. but, you know, it's... it's... yeah, it's one of the reasons, potentially, that i'm retiring, as well. at the time, i think, for me, ijust get into a zone of, like, i need to get that play in, we've got these games, i want to be back for my club, i want to be back playing for england. soi... i went very tunnel vision, and i think it wasn't until kind
8:45 am
of a good two or three months later — i think itjust hit me like a train of what actually happened, and kind of how traumatic it was. you can watch that full interview on football focus later on today. in super league, st helens could have clinched the league leaders' shield, but lost 30—10 to their great rivals wigan. the warriors led 18—2 at the break and the league's top try—scorer bevan french rounded off a great night for wigan with his second score of the match — his 29th try of the season. that sealed at least second for wigan and a semi—final spot. saints need just a point from their last two games to take the leaders' shield. the two title rivals max verstappen and then charles leclerc were fastest in second practice ahead of tomorrow's belgian grand prix. but both drivers will start the race from the back of the grid after receiving engine penalties. ferrari's carlos sainz was quickest in first practice.

jesus herrada won a thrilling stage seven of the vuelta. the spaniard timed his sprint on the breakaway to perfection and held off italy's samuele battistella to win the second stage of his career. belgium's remco evenepoel retained his 21—second overall lead over france's rudy molard. american scottie scheffler is two shots clear after the second round of the tour championship. the world number one leads on 19 under par at the east lake course in atlanta. american xander schauffele closed down his lead to two shots after carding a seven—under—par 63. the tour championship is the finale to this seasons pga tour were the winner will pocket a cool $6.5 million. not to be sneezed at. i want to ask you something. there is a great

8:51 am
our reporter chris waring has been finding out what's involved. when you walk over the little bridge at certain parts of the day when the sun is at a certain level, each time just feels different. it's just gorgeous. my name is alice eaton. i'm a stonemason. i'm working on a restoration project at haddon hall, which is a delight. sat in the beauty of the peak district, haddon hall has survived more than 900 years. keeping it maintained is a challenge for alice and the team, especially when dealing with its unique historicalfeatures. the long gallery is an elizabethan long gallery. it's one of the most beautiful long galleries in the country for its oak panelling and its ornate plaster ceiling. the bombay glass — because it's angled, it reflects light differently. the biggest project has been to fix a large bay window which was suffering from subsidence.
8:52 am
if not dealt with, it was in danger of bringing part of the building down, and hundreds of thousands of pounds were needed to pay for the work. the hall had great news of funding, the point at which it was like — great, you can now help to save it. the idea of it not being here, and not having that history and saving that history, would be really sad. and if keeping the weight of haddon hall's history standing was not a big enough task, alice does so while working alongside her dad. and while she followed in his footsteps, she hopes more women might follow in hers. we get on really well. we both have the same sense of humour. it's just nice to work with my dad, as well, in a little family business. i'm hopefully not too bossy. it might — because the construction industry is more aimed at a male audience, it would be nice to see more opportunities for women who maybe want to go down into a more kind of manual—based apprenticeship. knowing that we're making something available to the public for many
8:53 am
years to come is really rewarding, because you're knowing that you're saving that little piece of history for other people. the work on the hall is ongoing, and up next is the long gallery landing window, so it looks like alice and the team are going to be busy for many months to come. when that is finished it will be stunning, absolutely stunning. when vocal coach sheridan coldstream posted a tutorial video of a billie eilish song on tiktok — the last person he expected to duet with was the grammy award winner herself! billie's rendition of her 2019 single listen before i go, following mr coldstream's piano accompaniment and singing instructions, has now been viewed more than 33 million times. let's have a listen. this is called listen before i go. it's a beautiful song. i want you to sing it while i play, but on the chorus, the bit where it goes... low: # sorry can't save me now... if that feels too low and grungy

for you, i often prefer this sung by my students up an octave, so you're kind of there. he plays higer notes. higher: # sorry can't save me now. so, by all means, go up there on that bit. # sorry can't save me now. # sorry, i don't know how. # sorry there's no way out. # but down. # mm, down. and that was billie eilishjoining in on her own song with that tutorial! sheridan joins us now. good morning. good morning, it is

before, i had to use one twice in the past two weeks, and purely because my money can't stretch anywhere any more. it's the same for maureen, also worrying about how much each load will cost. her and her husband george are now looking at making dramatic savings ahead of the winter. we're scared. in the past we could go out and about, meet friends, go for lunch, you know, treat my grandchildren, go to the pictures. we thought about it really carefully and we thought, there's no way, there is no way on this earth that we are going to be able to pay those bills and continue life as it was before. the price set by the regulator ofgem is rising by 80% in october. a typical annual energy bill paid by direct debit is currently £1971. in october, that will rise to £3,549. prepayment metre customers will pay
9:04 am
an extra £59 per year, taking the new typical bill on a metre to £3608. as charities warn about the impact of those rises on families, now a real concern is that lives could be at risk and create further strains on the nhs. this is going to add further pressure on that health system and put it under even more pressure. we will get avoidable deaths unless we intervene now. labour has accused the government of failing to meet the scale of the national emergency, and said that millions could be left without support. the government says it will provide help, but pressure is going on the conservative party leader candidates to elevate their plans. heating and cooking but some of the bare essentials. these are some of the things families might have to go without, hoping the consequences for them won't be too severe.
9:05 am
let's speak now to our political correspondent, lone wells. the voices of those who are being hit by this are very loud and clear, people are asking, where are the voices from the government to make it clear what they are going to do? that's right and this morning we have heard from the environment secretary, george eustice, who has said it is right the government weights for a new prime minister to be in place before outlining what support there may be. but that line isn't sticking particularly well with some members of the public, with some members of the public, with the opposition, labour, snp, the liberal democrats have said the government needs to step in and freeze that energy price cap to stop it going up completely to help everybody with these rising costs of bills. all we know so far of what the leadership candidates would do if they were to become prime
9:06 am
minister, liz truss has said that they would be cuts to the green levies on energy bills and has hinted at more targeted support to households as well. rishi sunak has said that as well as cutting vat on energy bills that would be further packages of support for households as well. not very many specific details. what we have heard, from nadhim zahawi, it will be just the most venerable households being hit with some of these costs this winter. it will also be middle earners. people earning up to £45,000 a year like nurses, teachers, other public sector workers as well. certainly there is concern and a message there to the next minister that support may not be just targeted at the most venerable households but a lot of that middle income households as well. . ~ that middle income households as well. . ,, , ., that middle income households as well. . ~ , ., just that middle income households as well-_ just to _ that middle income households as well._ just to say i that middle income households as well._ just to say in - that middle income households as well._ just to say in a l well. thank you. just to say in a coule well. thank you. just to say in a coume of _ well. thank you. just to say in a couple of minutes _ well. thank you. just to say in a couple of minutes we _ well. thank you. just to say in a couple of minutes we will- well. thank you. just to say in a couple of minutes we will have l well. thank you. just to say in a | couple of minutes we will have a couple of minutes we will have a couple of minutes we will have a couple of experts to answer questions sent in here to cap my breakfast of what can be done to

keep prices down and also on speaking to her energy providers. police investigating the fatal shooting of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel at her home in liverpool, have arrested a second man on suspicion of murder. he was detained in the dovecot area of the city. it follows another arrest of a 36—year—old man, made by armed police on thursday. both are being questioned by detectives — as alice key reports. a young girl adored by herfamily, the killing of olivia pratt—korbel has horrified people in liverpool and beyond. last night, police arrested a 33—year—old man near the scene of the shooting on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder. it is the second arrest made this week. this aerial footage from a police helicopter shows the moment a 36—year—old man was detained by armed officers on thursday night. olivia's mother, cheryl, was injured in the attack as well as 35—year—old joseph nee, the man police believe
9:08 am
was the intended target. detectives say this is the car that took him to hospital. they want to speak to anyone who saw it in the days leading up to or after the shooting. an outpouring of grief from the community is clear looking at the flowers and cards left at the scene. yesterday, the home secretary priti patel visited to see for herself. former players from liverpool and everton football clubs have also paid their respects. managerjurgen klopp told a press conference that the club's thoughts and prayers were with olivia's family. i can't even imagine how it must feel. it is absolutely horrible only to think about it, and it is such a tragedy. if we can help in any kind, we will. that is clear — it must be clear. and police are still urging anyone with information to come forward to helping those responsible to justice. alice key, bbc news.
9:09 am
our reporter katie barnfield is at the scene for us this morning. there have been many calls for more help in terms of policing and tackling crime in the region having their scion absolutely. on a visitor yesterday the home secretary priti patel said she understood the immense impact that olivia's death had had on the community here when she pledged £500,000 of extra funding for merseyside police, 350,000 of that is going towards rolling out over further gun and anti—gun knife crime pilots running in some areas and a will go towards mental health support. the people who have been affected by olivia's death. it's clear here at the impact this has had on people around here. just as we have been standing in this morning people have come and continued to lay flowers in olivia's
9:10 am
memory here. the police here also are keen to stress thatjust because they have made to make arrests for olivia's murderer, that doesn't mean they want people to stop coming out with information. they handed out leaflets like this saying that silence is not an option, asking people to contact them with dutch and british smudge model belford had come anything they have that can help them in their investigation and to build up what they say. thank you very much- — newly released court documents have revealed why a judge authorised a search of donald trump's florida estate earlier this month. the fbi told the us department ofjustice they expected to find "evidence of obstruction" at his mar—a—lago home and believed that contraband or other illegal items would be discovered. gareth barlow has the details. this is the remarkable document used to justify one of the most historic fbi raids in us history.
9:11 am
amid the blacked—out text, agents argued they had probable cause to believe, in their words, that evidence, contraband, fruits of crimes or other items illegally possessed would be discovered at the former president's mar—a—lago estate. the criminal investigation and eighth of august search began after the national archives, which maintains white house records, identified classified files among 15 boxes recovered from mar—a—lago in january this year. an fbi review recovered 181i classified documents, including 25 marked as top secret. it is unprecedented. since the presidential records act of 1978, and which i helped draft, that this is the first time a president ever carted off to his home documents that were prepared in the course of his presidency. those documents belong to the united states, not any individual. the former president,
9:12 am
along with his legal team, argues he has the right to declassify the documents, and he has already done so. legal experts question those claims — as did, on friday, president biden. well, ijust want you to know i've declassified everything in the world! i'm president. i can do it all. come on! declassified everything. i'm not going to comment. i don't know the detail. i don't even want to know. let the justice department take care of it. of the 32 pages that triggered the search of mr trump's beachfront property, 21 were blacked out and several contained no visible words at all, the fbi arguing that revealing the identities of witnesses could potentially lead them to being subjected to harm, including retaliation, intimidation and even threats to physical safety. what the document doesn't address is what agents discovered in the ii boxes they retrieved from mar—a—lago earlier this month. investigations expected to continue now behind closed doors as it reviews the documents and potentially calls more witnesses. we may hear nothing more
9:13 am
until we learn if criminal charges will be laid. gareth barlow, bbc news. garden centres in england will be banned from selling peat compost from 202a. the move follows a public consultation and is part of efforts to fight global warming — as our environment correspondent, helen briggs explains. this dark, wet stuff is peat — dark, organic matter and much loved by gardeners for nourishing plants. but because of environmental concerns, you will soon no longer be able to buy peat compost at garden centres in england. if you dig it up out of the ground it is very valuable as a carbon score, it is broken down and all of that carbon is emitted into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. we have been working really hard to try and find a way of protecting these peatlands and stopping this use. there are alternatives, they are developing all the time. when the ban comes into effect
9:14 am
sometime in 2024, gardeners will have to switch to peat—free compost or make their own, but environmental groups say that with peat still being dug up in counties such as somerset, this comes too little, too late. in the uk, we are storing about 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon in peat, so we need to protect that, keep the peat on the ground and keep it wet. however, it isn't enough. it is not quick enough. so the ban on retail sales of peat is not going to end peat extraction and peat extraction is continuing. peat mining has been part of british life for centuries, providing jobs and income. the industry is on the wane but peat is still being extracted to make compost in some places. but sites the closing with this area turned into a major concern.

well be talking to you again. thank ou. well be talking to you again. thank you- thanks- _ last week pollution warnings were in place on nearly 50 beaches in england, after heavy rainfall meant untreated sewage was being pumped into the sea. the government has now published a plan to clean up england's sewage system, promising the "strictest targets ever" on water companies — as our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall explains. over the past week, people have been warned to stay away from dozens of beaches across england and wales because of untreated sewage pouring into rivers and the sea. hazardous for beach—goers, and deadly for animals. these pictures are from a river near swindon. pollution from a thames water pumping station killed at least 1,000 fish and countless smaller creatures — almost all life on this stretch of riverjust wiped out. against this backdrop, the government has published its plan to clean up the sewage system. it claims that the water companies will now face the strictest ever pollution targets.
9:38 am
it says billions of pounds must be invested on improving infrastructure, but it will be part—funded by an increase in water bills. between 2025 and 2030, the average annual rise in water bills will be about £12. that, in the context of other pressures on household incomes, is, ithink, modest, and i think a price that most people would be willing to pay to tackle this problem of sewage overflows in our river system. even with more money, it could take years to make a difference. this is croyde beach in north devon. the water's safe today, but there are regular storm discharges after wet weather. justin dyson lives here. he's a surfer and he's had enough. you feel completely helpless. i'm one of these boring people that have written to my mp a couple of times. you get a different answer, but it's just weasely words. nothing gets done.
9:39 am
and meanwhile, when you get heavy rainfall, guess what? out comes raw sewage again. many businesses feel the same way. it's disgusting, but it's an indication of this country and how they let corporations get away with minimum input and maximum profit for a good few years now. unfortunately, everything is coming home to roost. disgusting. i really don't like the fact that it's happening. i before we came away i did check the sewage map, i because i was really concerned about swimming in the sea i with the sewage, but it seems this particular part of devon is ok. i i but, yes, i would not go in the seal where the sewage is, definitely not. we can speak up in numbers, but at the end of the day money talks, i think. it's cheaper and easier for them to dump it in the ocean, then that's what they'll do. the school holidays are nearly over and soon the tourists will go home, but it doesn't seem that the public fury over this issue is going to disappear, and today's plan is unlikely to satisfy many. the targetjust to improve the amount of sewage released

9:42 am
it was regrettable the issue had not been addressed over the last a0 to 50 years. between now and 2025, that investment... how will we see that investment, feargal sharkey? here is the thin. investment, feargal sharkey? here is the thing- the — investment, feargal sharkey? here is the thing. the actual _ investment, feargal sharkey? here is the thing. the actual deadline, - investment, feargal sharkey? here is the thing. the actual deadline, if - the thing. the actual deadline, if you look further into the statement, naga, the actual end deadline is 2050 will stop so that is 28 years from where we are today. the date he referred to is, if you like, stage one. i will repeat what i said. yesterday morning when i woke up, dumping sewage into our rivers was illegal, as adjudicated by the european court ofjustice in 2012. government have known that all along. what government have done is not acted to protect the environment, but actually acted to protect the water companies. i think it is appalling that george eustice is now suggesting that we are going to see an increase in our bills. ofwat have already told the public.
9:43 am
water companies have they had all the funding they have needed for the last 30 years to fix this issue. we have given them the money, already pay for this, is now the secretary of state is rubbing salt into a very sore wound, telling us we have to pay for it even again for a second time! ., ., . w, , time! there are enforcement cases bein: time! there are enforcement cases being pursued _ time! there are enforcement cases being pursued against _ time! there are enforcement cases being pursued against south - time! there are enforcement cases being pursued against south westl being pursued against south west water, anglian water, northumbrian water, anglian water, northumbrian water, thames water, wessex water and yorkshire water. these enforcement cases surely show this is not being accepted. i know it is happening but it is not acceptable. and i would draw your viewers' attention to the fact that that enforcement inquiry came about simply because of the result of work done by amateurs. by part—time people like professor hammond, who had to drag defra into the recognition that what was going on was far bigger than they ever
9:44 am
anticipated. i'm afraid government have now simply sold our rivers down to the water companies, they have given water companies i get out of jail card free and may i remind everyone, water companies have made off with £72 billion of our money in dividends. chief executives being paid millions of pounds, multiple millions of pound salaries, and i'm afraid george eustice's handling of this has been catastrophic and he really should consider his position. welcome in the absence of him doing that or telling us we are doing that, what practically can be done right now to improve the situation? george eustice and the red leaders have always had the power and they have always had the power and they have heights of 30 years to fix this with nothing more than the stroke of a pen. today they can issue enforcement orders, tell the water company, we have given you the money you have 12 months, the public is paying for this and if you don't do it that power gives them the ability

three 23 without loss, 2a1 runs behind after englad tightened their grip on this test. it was all about ben stokes on day two — he delighted the old trafford crowd with his first century as captain, even smashing the ball into the england players' balcony as he passed 50. ben foakes also hit a tonne and was on 113 when they declared on a15—9, a first—innings lead of 26a. south africa were 23 without loss at close, 2a1 runs behind. it's an amazing feeling, obviously. i think — yeah, any hundred is very special but i think to get one here, i guess you feel that support of the crowd. i've always loved playing for england, but there's... it's very obvious how positive the vibe is and how much everyone backs each other. so i think it's a very positive environment to be in. emma raducanu looked to be having trouble with a wrist in practice ahead of the defence of her us open

9:57 am
the last time mabel was in this lifeboat was after her mother, milena, had made a frantic 999 call. coastguard rescue. my two children are drowning, and we are in barmouth right on the pier when it's coming in. and i can't see them. i can't see them. my children are ten and 12. ten and 12. are they good swimmers? i can't see them any more! all right. we'll be getting some assistance out to you now. my colleagues are working in the background. they're getting some assistance. 0k? at the time, milena thought both her daughters had been carried out by an undercurrent. but elsie, the youngest, had managed to get back to the beach herself. mabel, though, was taken hundreds of metres out to sea. just swept out to sea suddenly. it's really scary what it can do. my throat was burning from the sea water and everything. it was really terrifying. i thought i could have died. what saved mabel was something shouted by her little sisterjust as they were separated — advice ten—year—old elsie had learnt in a swimming lesson. i shouted to her, "just stay
9:58 am
on your back, float on your back. it could save your life. just float on your back." and the reason i told her that is because i didn't really want to die, to be honest! and you listened, mabel, eh? yeah. i'd never heard it before she mentioned. so it really saved my life. i don't know what i'd do if she'd never told me. for the rescue crew, it was a textbook example of how the float to live advice really does work. as we got closer to her, we needed to let her know we were there and when we were about ten feet away from her, i called her out and literally she turned straight over onto her front and that's when her legs sank and she began to panic and the water was breaking over the top. so we shouted to her to get back onto her back, and straightaway again she popped back up afloat on top of the water and we were able to pull up right alongside her and then we just got her into the boat. the family say they love barmouth and will be back again for another holiday. after a terrifying experience had
