this is bbc news. the headlines at 7pm... the government says middle—income earners will need more help to pay their energy bills, notjust the poorest. but ministers claim waiting until a new leader is in place is the best approach. i think it's right that when they become prime minister, whoever it is, they will want to look at all of the options properly costed. two men arrested on suspicion of murdering nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, who was shot dead in her home in liverpool, have been released on bail. a national emergency has been declared in pakistan after millions of people were forced from their homes. it follows the heaviest monsoon rains in decades. it's been more than ten days of heavy rains and yet the streets of sukkur are still flooded. this is one of the main roads linking this community

to the outside world. talks to pass the un high seas treaty to protect the world's oceans and marine life in new york have failed to reach an agreement for the fifth time as governments could not agree on the terms. and liverpool hit nine past bournemouth to equal a record in the premier league — reaction to that and rest of the day's sport news in sportsday at 7.30pm. good evening. the chancellor nadhim zahawi says middle income earners as well as low earners will need government help to pay energy bills this winter. it comes as another minister defended the decision to wait until a new prime minister is in place before any announcement on further support is made.

yesterday, the regulator ofgem confirmed a dramatic 80% rise in the energy price cap from october, taking the average annual household bill to more than £3,500. here's marc ashdown. "help is coming." that's the message from the chancellor on rocketing energy bills. but when, how and who will receive it remains difficult to tell. in an interview with the daily telegraph, nadhim zahawi warns high bills could be here to stay for the next two years, and says while he's concerned about helping people on benefits, and pensioners, those on middle incomes will need help too. "if you're a senior nurse or a senior teacher on £45,000 a year," he says, "you're having your energy bills go up by 80%." "it's really hard." "we're looking at all the options." the energy price cap is set by the regulator 0fgem. it's rising by 80% in october. currently, a typical annual energy bill paid by direct debit is £1,971.

in october, that will rise to £3,519. prepayment meter customers pay a little extra — a typical usage bill from october, then, will be £3,608. i am afraid the pain may not be over. the energy price cap is now reviewed every three months. analysts are predicting a rise injanuary and another one in april, with every increase, more and more people will face financial difficulty. people here in reading are starting to feel the pinch. at the moment, it is ok. but, eventually, it will come to a point where especially. in the winter you will struggle. so, i am quite lucky, i but i can imagine a lot of people will do. people we know who are earning decent wages are starting to get quite concerned as well. and you are ok, do you get a reasonable wage? i would say it is a bit more than average but, again, i'm finding it difficult. every household will get £400 off their bill in six instalments from october, with more help for pensioners

and those on lower incomes. but there is frustration for some at the lack of clarity on exactly when more help will arrive. because the government has been so relaxed, often late with its announcements of support, and now refusing to say anything because of the conservative party leadership election, they've backed themselves into a corner. they have to be able to get money out of the door quickly to help people before october. the civil service is working up a full range of options, with the pros and cons of each, and who would benefit from different interventions, and i think it's right that we wait until we have a new prime minister — it is not long to wait. this will be absolutely at the top of their in—tray. there are predictions the energy price cap could rise above £5,000 in january. the chancellor warns we are in a national economic emergency. marc ashdown, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent ben wrightjoins me now.

we have had leadership vacuum while the tories choose their next prime minister but how long before we get any decisions from whoever takes overin any decisions from whoever takes over in a week? the any decisions from whoever takes over in a week?— any decisions from whoever takes over in a week? the government is certainly in — over in a week? the government is certainly in limbo _ over in a week? the government is certainly in limbo and _ over in a week? the government is certainly in limbo and there - over in a week? the government is certainly in limbo and there is - over in a week? the government is certainly in limbo and there is no i certainly in limbo and there is no minister that feels able to have the authority to make a decision about this. the government knew this price cap increase was coming, but the precise figure but it has been talked about for months, and yet people are discovering this news and are very worried that ministers cannot see anything with certainty until the new prime minister is in place on the 6th of september. it is place on the 6th of september. it is louical, place on the 6th of september. it is logical. within _ place on the 6th of september. it is logical, within the process? they cannot agree amongst themselves and borisjohnson has made it clear he will not make any big decisions. there is a lot of work going on, whitehall is working hard on the treasury is brainstorming ideas, as nadhim zahawi said, and the idea is that as soon as a new prime minister walks into number 10 there will be a menu of options. the candidates have

sketched out there thinking, rishi sunak says he would cut vat on energy bills that would not take much off, perhaps £200 from the average bill and he has promised more support to the poorest households and pensioners. liz truss, the current frontrunner, she said she would cut the so—called green levies from energy bills, saving about £150. she would also want to bring in some tax cuts, including reversing the national insurance rise and she said today that she would also offer immediate help if she wins this contest, but there is no clarity on what that means. frankly, idon�*t there is no clarity on what that means. frankly, i don't think between now and the new prime minister coming into number 10, between now and the new prime minister coming into number10, we will get any more, despite pressure from think tanks and voters for clarity and assurances about what might happen, but this is a complex problem and there are trade—offs with all of the solutions on the table. any support package will cost tens of billions of pounds and this is a crisis that will go on for some time. broadly there is a choice the government needs to make about

whether to offer universal support, offering help to everybody, or targeting it very much at the poorest households who will be hardest hit. i do not know yet where the decision will fall. ben hardest hit. i do not know yet where the decision will fall.— the decision will fall. ben wright, we will have _ the decision will fall. ben wright, we will have to _ the decision will fall. ben wright, we will have to leave _ the decision will fall. ben wright, we will have to leave it _ the decision will fall. ben wright, we will have to leave it there. - we will have to leave it there. thank you. the chancellor has said middle earners will need some help with their fuels too. joining us is a junior school teacher, lisa rodgers. thank you forjoining us. tell us what your situation is at home. i am a teacher- — what your situation is at home. i am a teacher- and _ what your situation is at home. i am a teacher. and i _ what your situation is at home. i am a teacher. and i have _ what your situation is at home. i am a teacher. and i have two _ what your situation is at home. i —n a teacher. and i have two children, i am a single parent and yes, this is really scary. the moneyjust is not there. and i am classed as one of these middle earners. tell not there. and i am classed as one of these middle earners.— of these middle earners. tell me about what _ of these middle earners. tell me about what your _ of these middle earners. tell me about what your energy - of these middle earners. tell me about what your energy bills - of these middle earners. tell me about what your energy bills are | of these middle earners. tell me i about what your energy bills are at the moment. how much will they go up by? the moment. how much will they go up b ? �* , the moment. how much will they go up b ? �* y ., the moment. how much will they go up b ?~, the moment. how much will they go up b? , f~f~ , by? any idea? i was paying £88 every month but that _ by? any idea? i was paying £88 every month but that was _ by? any idea? i was paying £88 every month but that was on _ by? any idea? i was paying £88 every month but that was on a _ by? any idea? i was paying £88 every month but that was on a fixed - by? any idea? i was paying £88 every

is that eating into middle earners? it is and lots of people are going to have to adapt, struggling to make ends meet but we should remember that although there might be 9 million households or so in fuel poverty, we have households who are spending 18% would have to spend 18 or 19% of their disposable income. breadth of the issue is huge but we should always bear in the severity, the depth of the issue of the that some households of the lowest incomes are having to face. what incomes are having to face. what solutions do _ incomes are having to face. what solutions do you _ incomes are having to face. what solutions do you think— incomes are having to face. what solutions do you think would work best? i solutions do you think would work best? ~' ,., ., best? i think the urgent solution that we need. — best? i think the urgent solution that we need, and _ best? i think the urgent solution that we need, and in _ best? i think the urgent solution that we need, and in a _ best? i think the urgent solution that we need, and in a politician| that we need, and in a politician say there is not long to wait, but we have known the situation for some months and that is a little bit patronising. what we need to see is at least a doubling of the price package that we had in may to face any realities. it was meant to

offset price rises at the rate they were expected to come in and it needs to do the same now for the reality of the situation that will be in october, let alone thinking about what we will do injanuary, about what we will do in january, when they are about what we will do injanuary, when they are due to jump up to around £5,500. in when they are due to “ump up to around £5,500.h when they are due to “ump up to around £5,500. , ., ., , around £5,500. in terms of the fears of --eole around £5,500. in terms of the fears of people have _ around £5,500. in terms of the fears of people have got — around £5,500. in terms of the fears of people have got around _ around £5,500. in terms of the fears of people have got around this, - around £5,500. in terms of the fears of people have got around this, we i of people have got around this, we have been seeing it coming towards us, this incredibly difficult autumn and winter... what are the worst cases your hearing? what are you worried about in terms of the toll on families?— worried about in terms of the toll on families? ~ ., ., ., ., on families? what we are hearing now in the summer. _ on families? what we are hearing now in the summer, the _ on families? what we are hearing now in the summer, the end _ on families? what we are hearing now in the summer, the end of _ on families? what we are hearing now in the summer, the end of the - in the summer, the end of the summer, before the heating season, is people in absolute despair and hopelessness. already cut back to the bone because of the price rises we have already had. not cooking hot food, not having baths or washing their clothes, sending their children to their grandparents because it is warmer. in absolute fear of what is going to happen in the winter. and when you get to winter, when we spent 18% on gas, it

isjust incredibly... it winter, when we spent 18% on gas, it is just incredibly... it is impossible to imagine households being able to do it. one example... prepayment meter users often put on prepayment meters because of debt and you must pay for the energy you use when you use it. injanuary, we could see the average monthly bill for someone on a prepayment meter being around £700. it isjust simply impossible for anybody to heat their home so they willjust not, they will not and we will have an epidemic of cold homes and what that means for anxiety and depression and physical ill—health and access winter deaths. it will be horrific unless the government acts, and we have already lost the opportunity to get the right actions in place. seldom get the right actions in place. adam scorer from — get the right actions in place. adam scorer from the _ get the right actions in place. adam scorer from the national— get the right actions in place. adam scorer from the national energy action charity. thank you for your time. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm

and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are the political commentator jo phillips and the political editor of the sunday people and the sunday mirror, nigel nelson. two men who were arrested on suspicion of shooting dead nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel at her home on monday night have been released on bail. 0ur correspondent emma vardy is in liverpool for us. the police investigation has been moving pretty rapidly here with two arrests in the past 48 hours. police activity has been very visible on the street. but those two men that were being questioned this afternoon have now been released on bail and officers say there is still more work to do. children and parents watched as armed police arrived on this residential street and a man was restrained and taken away. the second arrest in this investigation took place not far from the scene of 0livia's murder. what did you see? i saw a lot of armed police.

i was a bit alarmed and taken aback but i was glad. all i was thinking about, to be honest, is 0livia's family. six days on from the shooting in which 0livia pratt—korbel was killed, and people are continuing to lay tributes. she was hit by a bullet when a gunman burst into her family home. at anfield this afternoon, liverpool fans and players paid their tribute to the little girl whose life was cut short. the city's third shooting in a week. the recent an outbreak of gun violence in liverpool has shaken people. but locally some say the warning signs were already there. now, the home secretary priti patel has pledged £500,000 to help tackle organised crime. but the metro mayor of liverpool says it is still not enough. people don't want this to be happening in their neighbourhoods, but we need to tackle systemic issues that are leading some people down this path, and that is what i spoke to the home secretary about yesterday.

police are continuing to appeal for information, and 0livia's family have urged people to do the right thing. for their chatty little girl who was taken from them, they have said now is the time to speak up. emma vardy, bbc news, liverpool. thousands of people in areas at risk of flooding in pakistan have been told to evacuate their homes. aid agencies say the flooding could develop into one of the country's worst disasters as the heaviest monsoon rains in decades continue. nearly 1,000 people have died sincejune and thousands more have been displaced. pumza fihlani reports. swathes of land across southern pakistan have been turned into islands. the rains have been unforgiving, and the water is still trapped between people's homes. homes, roads and infrastructure have been destroyed, and some villages completely isolated. this week authorities issued fresh warnings for people to get to higher ground.

for some, that meant beside a road. families left with what they could manage. this man tells us he has lost everything. translation: we've been sitting here for one week. | there are 20 of us in my family, and we don't know where to go. these tents that you are seeing on either side of this main road are where people have come to seek temporary shelter. they tell me that something was different about this year's rains. the water hasn'tjust come from flooded rivers, but it was torrential rains from the sky, and unlike in the past where over time the water would recede, the water is still here, and it's been weeks, so they don't know when they will be able to go back to their homes. they tell me this is the worst kind of limbo. balochistan and sindh provinces have seen the worst destruction. aid into communities has been slow. authorities say they have

limited resources. it's become clear to everyone that the impact of these floods will be faced for months, but before communities can even think about the aftermath, many people are left wondering how they will survive until the end of the day. the floods have taken lives, and for the survivors depending on farming and livestock, livelihoods are now severely at risk. pumza fihlani, bbc news, sindh. efforts to pass a global agreement to protect the world's oceans and marine life has failed. a fifth round of talks to pass the un high seas treaty had been ongoing for two weeks in new york, but governments could not agree on the terms. despite international waters representing nearly two—thirds of the world's oceans, only 1.2% is protected. environmental campaigners have called it a "missed opportunity". joining me now is dr laura meller, who led the greenpeace delegation at the negotiations.

fish are dying in the oder in their thousands. in a single day, they told us here, they pulled 16 tonnes of corpses from the water. "after eight days of this," lucas says, hejust feels numb. and it's not over yet. we joined these scientists as they test the water to try to establish what happened. check a lot of parameters of water chemistry. they suspect an as—yet—unidentified substance polluted the river. that caused a type of algae to flourish. its toxins then killed the fish. you can really sense the frustration, the concern here, and that's because they still don't know what's caused this. and while they can't identify it, they can't predict how long the effects will last and, worse than that, they can't say that it won't happen again.

it may be that the hot summer, low water levels played a part. even now, a wave of poison is still spreading down river. translation: the scale of its ecological disaster| is unprecedented in poland. it's a catastrophe. we have never found so many dead creatures, so many dead fish, clams or snails. it's the first time it's happened and it's a serious warning. the first of the dead fishes... but upstream, hundreds of miles away, this woman told us she saw it coming. ava runs this marina in a working port. the water flows via a canal into the oder. people here first reported fish dying, the water changing, back in march. translation: all the signs - and traces that i followed led me to conclude that the pollution got into the water directly here. i talked to many people, conducted interviews. my conclusion is that someone dumped

chemicals into the port. few safe places left to fish, and on this unaffected lake, little confidence that the perpetrator will ever be caught. "someone's responsible, someone's to blame," he says, "but we'll probably never find out who." there's despair here at the damage done, but determination, too, to better protect these waterways and the precious life they contain. jenny hill, bbc news, szczecin. garden centres in england will be banned from selling peat compost from 202a. the move follows a public consultation to fight climate change and restore peat lands. the wild, boggy areas are sometimes referred to as the uk's rainforests because of their ability to soak up vast quantities of carbon.

animal charities are warning of a "looming housing crisis" for dogs, as owners struggling with the cost of living are being forced to give them up. the dogs trust has now issued an urgent appeal for more foster carers to help pets in need. emma glasbey has been to meet one pup who is being cared for in a temporary home after being dumped in the street. barry was found abandoned in a street in leeds. he's not yet ready for his forever home, but the dogs trust has placed him with a foster carer. he's very lively, likes to play with lots of toys, just learnt how to bark so he's barking at things as well. so yeah, he's very energetic. i just look after them and the dogs trust do all the work about finding the right home for them so that they're in a forever home and not 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 a home. now, the dogs 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 leeds centre and right across the country this charity has never been busier. 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 11,500 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. emma glasby, bbc news. some breaking news, from rotterdam, dutch police say that on saturday, several people have died in an accident when a truck rolled into a street party in a time in the south of the netherlands. police, who did not give specific figures for

casualties, say they are investigating the incident, it happened at about seven o'clock. and it was about 19 miles south of rotterdam. several people have died in an accident with a truck crashing into a street party there. in the south of the netherlands. we will get more than that as soon as we can. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. if you're hoping for more dry weatherfor if you're hoping for more dry weather for the rest of the bank holiday weekend then you're in luck. it is looking mostly dry with more sunny spells around and a few isolated showers here and there. and it will turn rather breezy, particularly across southern areas of england and wales as we head into the start of next week. strengthening north—easterly wind. it is not a bank holiday in scotland and here there is a warm front getting into eastern areas with more cloud and a lot milder than it was last night. cloudy also for much of

northern ireland, clear skies for england and wales and if you're early, shallow mist patches forming into tomorrow morning. sunday is looking similar to saturday, it should be mostly dry across scotland but there will be showers and outbreaks of rain towards western areas in particular. cloudy across northern ireland but a few breaks possible and we could see breaks in the cloud towards south—west scotland but most of the sunshine is for england and wales and if you are a nice little showers and breezy, cooler towards the north sea facing coasts. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the government says middle—income earners will need more help to pay their energy bills, notjust the poorest. but ministers claim waiting until a new leader is in place is the best approach. until a new leader is in place i until a new leader is in place think it's right that wi

become i think it's right that when they become prime minister, whoever it is, they will want to
