britain's prime minister has said whoever succeeds him will announce "another huge package of financial support" to help people cope with soaring energy bills this winter. writing in a national newspaper, boris johnson acknowledged that the next few months would be difficult, as households face sky—high costs. opposition parties and charities say more help is needed now. the us director of national intelligence, avril haines, says her office is to lead a review of potential security risks from classified materials recovered from donald trump's home in florida earlier this month. mr trump denies any wrongdoing. more than a million tonnes of grain has been shipped from ukraine since the deal that allowed exports to resume, despite russia's invasion. but the un says room is running out for storage for this year's harvest.

hello, and welcome to our look at what the the papers are saying today. with me are rachel shabi, who is an author and journalist, and camilla turner — the chief political correspondent at the telegraph. welcome, both of you. talk to you in a moment but _ welcome, both of you. talk to you in a moment but first _ welcome, both of you. talk to you in a moment but first let's _ welcome, both of you. talk to you in a moment but first let's run - welcome, both of you. talk to you in a moment but first let's run through | a moment but first let's run through the front pages. the sunday times leads on polling on the nhs — which says the majority of people now expect delays in treatment. the sunday telegraph leads with plans of liz truss — who is said to be thinking about what's described as a "nuclear" option of a 5% cut in vat. but still no confirmation that that is what she would do if she wins the leadership contest and becomes the next prime minister. in the sunday express, borisjohnson says a huge package of measures is on the way to protect people

from the cost—of—living crisis. i think you might be able to tell we have some technical hitches going on here. there you go. we will move... out there. golden future ahead is the headline as part of that article where borisjohnson talks about what is coming it. he says he is confident there will be golden times ahead but difficult times coming up in the short—term. the observer leads on trade union plans to join forces for a wave of strikes in the autumn. the devastating floods in pakistan are on the front of the independent, and the mirror leads on allegations of bullying on the x factor. let's begin. we can talk about a bit more detail of what is in the papers. welcome, rachel and camilla. lets us start with the sunday times

and, rachel, if you want to talk about that. the majority of people now expect delays in nhs treatments. almost half of people, according to pauline, think the service is getting worse and six in ten state the appointment waiting times are unreasonable. these don't tell us more. , , . unreasonable. these don't tell us more. , , unreasonable. these don't tell us more, , , ., unreasonable. these don't tell us more. , , ., ,, more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried _ more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out _ more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by _ more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by new- more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by new golf - more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by new golf and | times carried out by new golf and siting the figures you just said. people have no companies are getting treated on time. people feel the service has worsened in the last 12 months. they are right. all we are hearing in the news the last few months has been people waiting for emergency care, ambulances back to outside hospitals, huge waiting lists for people awaiting treatment and i'm sure many people anxious

about it. if you have elderly relatives, my goodness, god forbid anything happens to them. i'm not sure the nhs is up to the job. anything happens to them. i'm not sure the nhs is up to thejob. it is a terrifying situation but it is worth remembering what people who work in the nhs say, that this is a choice. we can choose to address this. the main thing is that they highlight our staff shortages, partly people leaving because of burn—out and stress orjust not being able to recruit staff, partly because of brexit. the crisis in social care which is putting a burden on the nhs, a lack of capacity, whether that is bent, ambulances, emergency numbers for people to call —— whether that is beds. funding is a big issue and thatis beds. funding is a big issue and that is a political choice. we all believe in the nhs, we all believe that it should be available to us regardless of who we are and what

income level we are at, and the government, i'm afraid, has run the nhs into the ground in the 12 years it has been in power quite the sunday telegraph, camilla, your paper, sunday telegraph, camilla, your “aer, ., ., ., sunday telegraph, camilla, your “aer, . . ., . paper, talks about... you are telegraph. — paper, talks about... you are telegraph, not _ paper, talks about... you are telegraph, not sunday - paper, talks about... you are - telegraph, not sunday telegraph. it talks about what liz truss is looking at doing if she becomes the next tory party leader and prime minister. of course what is going on with the nhs is part of that picture because there are just so many demands on where there needs to be spending. she has previously spoken about directing some of the money away from the nhs into social care, and the headline on the front of the sunday telegraph saying she is mulling the nuclear option of a 5% vat cut, the article making the point of some of her supporters saying what will be happening within the economy will basically be exploding on a date one if she

becomes prime minister. drawing all of the different considerations together and looking at this specific targeted help. tell us a bit more about what that article is saying in terms of the precious and where she is thinking. this saying in terms of the precious and where she is thinking.— where she is thinking. this article is lookin: where she is thinking. this article is looking specifically _ where she is thinking. this article is looking specifically at - where she is thinking. this article is looking specifically at one - is looking specifically at one option being looked at by liz truss and this is the so—called nuclear option of a 5% vat cut across the board, so quite a substantial but and this would all be aimed at putting money back in people's pockets, giving more spending power and could also prevent businesses from collapsing potentially. and this is just one from collapsing potentially. and this isjust one in from collapsing potentially. and this is just one in a suite of options drawn up by the treasury, ready to present to the new prime minister as soon as they take office. i think the reason we are seeing so many different options across the front pages of potential things the new prime minster might do to help people with the cost of living and with the cost of soaring bills is because there is a bit of a

vacuum at the moment coming out of government. we have had nothing from the current outgoing government, obviously, and also nothing from the liz truss camp, widely believed to be taking office injust liz truss camp, widely believed to be taking office in just a few days now. so, really, that is a bit of a vacuum of knowledge. ideas floating around in suggestions really going on the front foot here, coming up with all these different options. probably remains a bit of a mystery what help will be announced for people under the new regime. fin people under the new regime. on that, the voices in the mix, rachel, the sunday express front page, virus, golden future ahead. he is talking about what he thinks will or should happen, but making clear he will not be making the decisions. honestly, i am will not be making the decisions. honestly, iam running will not be making the decisions. honestly, i am running out of words to describe how insulting this government, including the prime

minister, are being in the face of the scale of hardship that people are dealing with in this country. borisjohnson has said it will be fine! britain will not buckle under this energy crisis! compare that, if you will, the chief analyst at the joseph rowntree foundation, who is saying, "i had to check these stats several times." these stats on the forecast. it isjust forecast. it is just incomprehensible forecast. it isjust incomprehensible that this scale of disaster is what is coming down the track for people. it's incomprehensible that people aren't just a regular salary, nurses, teachers, etc, will not be able to afford their bills, and be plunged into destitution. it is incomprehensible what the a0 plus million people will be hit by the energy crisis. that is the reality we are dealing with and so when you look at exactly what camilla said, this void, this political void in

government in terms of what needs to be done, i think we need to acknowledge it is notjust negligence and incompetence, although personally i do think it is those things, it is that they do not believe in the kind of things that britain needs to deal with the scale of this disaster that we are finding ourselves in. they don't believe in taxing big companies and energy bosses who are price gouging on the backs of poor people. they don't believe in funding renewable energies to the degree we need to so that we are not reliant on oil and gas. they don't believe in this massive investment that we require to insulate and leak proof our homes so that we are not wasting valuable energy and resources. they don't believe in giving people pay rises... not even pay rises...

camilla, what are your thoughts in terms of what rachel is saying it's been an ideology versus situation where there is nobody clearly in charge because it is not clear who is coming in next, and the government saying that we cannot make the decisions for the incoming leader... but obviously there are very difficult decisions to be taken. , ~ , . taken. yes, i think it is right and ro er taken. yes, i think it is right and preper that _ taken. yes, i think it is right and preper that the _ taken. yes, i think it is right and proper that the outgoing - taken. yes, i think it is right and - proper that the outgoing government isn't making major policy interventions, majorfiscal interventions, majorfiscal interventions in its dying days. that is the convention that an outgoing government doesn't suddenly make massive policy interventions. however, we have seen from both leadership camps, particularly in the early stages, when they were madly trying to get the votes of mps and ensure they made it into the final two, and we saw policies

coming out left, right and centre, multiple once per day on all sorts of things. even potentially quite niche issues so i think the argument for waiting until they get into office before making a major announcement or to address cost of living issues, ithink announcement or to address cost of living issues, i think that certainly is a choice they are making to do that in a weak�*s time rather than now. do making to do that in a weak's time rather than now.— making to do that in a weak's time rather than now. do you think it has a long-term — rather than now. do you think it has a long-term impact _ rather than now. do you think it has a long-term impact or _ rather than now. do you think it has a long-term impact or will- rather than now. do you think it has a long-term impact or will it - rather than now. do you think it has a long-term impact or will it be - a long—term impact or will it be quickly forgotten once decisions are made ultimately it is a matter of a few days now and we are so close to the end of this leadership contest that has been going on for what seems like a lifetime and certainly given that the price cap, yes, it has just been announced, so it is really at the top of the news agenda, but realistically we are still in the summer period. temperatures are still warm, it will not be for a few weeks now until things actually take effect when people need to be heating their homes a lot more when temperatures drop. so while there is a lot of climate and panic and in normal time

when we have a stable government and would of course expect announcements to be made urgently to reassure people and put them at ease, realistically, waiting another few days will probably not make a material difference to people's ability to heat their homes, given temperatures have not got a huge amount so far. i also think there is amount so far. i also think there is a big difference now because we are in the middle of this conservative leadership contest, both candidates are trying to say things that will appeal to the voters in that contest. that is different and much smaller audience than the general population as a whole and i think as soon as the new prime minister takes office, they will be pivoting that page and saying things that have a much broader appeal that people across the country wants to hear, rather than just trying to appeal to an incredibly narrow part of the electorate. an incredibly narrow part of the electorate-— an incredibly narrow part of the electorate. ., . . electorate. back to the real politic in the observer, _ electorate. back to the real politic in the observer, talking _ electorate. back to the real politic in the observer, talking about - electorate. back to the real politic in the observer, talking about a l in the observer, talking about a wave of strikes over the cost of living, rachel.— wave of strikes over the cost of living, rachel. absolutely. this is

maximise the impact of these strikes and actually win this fight will pay that at least is a little bit in line with inflation to stop people sinking into the level of destitution that potentially could happen? at}! destitution that potentially could ha en? ., destitution that potentially could hauen? . , ., , ., destitution that potentially could hauen? ., , ., , ., ., happen? of that story on the front of the observer, _ happen? of that story on the front of the observer, camilla, - happen? of that story on the front of the observer, camilla, is - happen? of that story on the front | of the observer, camilla, is labour on the bbc. the headline, we will protect bbc independence, labour pledging to protect the bbc�*s independence and retain it as a publicly owned public service broadcaster at the heart of british life. ., �* , , broadcaster at the heart of british life. . �* , , , broadcaster at the heart of british life. . �*. , , life. that's right. this is labour led . in: life. that's right. this is labour pledging to _ life. that's right. this is labour pledging to strengthen - life. that's right. this is labour pledging to strengthen the - life. that's right. this is labour i pledging to strengthen the bbc's independence if they were to be in government, saying they will make sure it retains its status as a publicly owned public service broadcaster and that they would insulator the bbc from political pressures. this comes after comments by emily maitlis where she was

claiming that bbc is not independent of government enough will stop she made claims there was factor, a tory agent at the part of the bbc, referring to robbie gibb who sits on the board of the bbc and is a former director of communications at downing street. labour saying in response to those claims that they would ensure the bbc is fully independent and doesn't have any kind of political meddling from the government of the day. we kind of political meddling from the government of the day.— kind of political meddling from the government of the day. we have to cracks practice _ government of the day. we have to cracks practice stories _ government of the day. we have to cracks practice stories because - government of the day. we have to cracks practice stories because we | cracks practice stories because we are short on time. one story that dominated and the impact is still being felt, but in terms of conversations around covid, it has gone away, but the sunday telegraph talks, it has an interesting comment from the boss of astrazeneca. covid yeah for all is a waste of money. rachel, tell us what he has been

telling the sunday telegraph. he is lookin: at telling the sunday telegraph. he is looking at what _ telling the sunday telegraph. he is looking at what would _ telling the sunday telegraph. he is looking at what would be _ telling the sunday telegraph. he: 3 looking at what would be the best use of resources. he is weighing up boosting everybody who has been jabbed and whether there is a benefit to boosting everyone again when he says that people actually have immunity from the jabs for up to a year. he is pointing at the contrast with, say, the us and other countries in europe where they have decided potentially to reallocate budgets and to put more resources into, for instance, helping people who are immunocompromised, so people who are immunocompromised, so people who are immunocompromised, so people who are much more vulnerable and would feel much more impact from covid, so looking at diverting some of the resources there rather than jabbing the wider population. let’s

jabbing the wider population. let's no jabbing the wider population. let's to back to jabbing the wider population. let's go back to the _ jabbing the wider population. let's go back to the cost—of—living crisis because there is an interesting couple of pages inside the observer. making the point that obviously everybody is going to be really carefully considering the cost when they turn something on, use something at home. it isa it is a 2—page spread with specifics for incidence of making a piece of toast, fourpence currently, that will change when the cost of energy keeps going up. if you charge your phone every day for at least an hour with five what charge it paper says it will cost 26p per charge and in a week it will cost you £1.82. it also has another piece on drivers opting to downsize their cars because they are looking now for more cheap, efficient cars, hatchbacks, as the market is pushing more prestige cars out of reach. camilla, these are the

considerations. everybody is making them. , ,, ,, . them. exactly. the observer spread looks at the — them. exactly. the observer spread looks at the different _ them. exactly. the observer spread looks at the different prices - them. exactly. the observer spread looks at the different prices and - looks at the different prices and the things you wouldn't ordinarily think about stop boiling the kettle for a cup of tea or putting on a wash, normalthings for a cup of tea or putting on a wash, normal things you would be doing in your everyday life. people will now become much more conscious that all these things come at a cost, and with the rising energy prices this is notjust a consideration for the poorest households, although of course they will feel things most, but it is also things that will affect people across society and as all of these everyday costs begin to go up. people thinking about things now like should they downsize their car was yellow should they put on their dishwasher less? all of these things will become a pinch point over the next few months when prices rise so much and people can actually see the difference coming through in their bills every month. let's end with a silly story.

something lighter. what happens with dogs when they are left at home. it the sunday telegraph. sonatas and soothing talk is no helpful for lonely ducks. the study suggests pets left alone might prefer the sound of silence rather than classical music and audiobooks. it is a question for all of us. do we prefer to have our thoughts distracted by other things ought to be left alone with them sometimes? well, quite, although i am not sure dogs share our preference. this study suggests, for a lot of people who often leave something unlike a radio for the dog when they go out, they are thinking if the dog hears music or human voices then maybe they will not get so agitated at the absence of their owner, but actually the study is suggesting that the dog will get more come more quickly it

champions manchester city came from 2 down to beat crystal palace a—2, and liverpool matched the biggest win in premier league history. jim lumsden reports. jurgen klopp had labelled the season so far a false start, but this was to be a statement of intent. bournemouth were in the wrong place at the wrong time. trent alexander—arnold's rocket, one of five liverpool goals before half—time. to say the newly promoted side were reeling would be a huge understatement. they were simply spectators. conceding four more, with luis diaz rounding off a 9—0 hammering as liverpool equalled the league's record victory score. 5—0 half—time, we all know that how often does it happen that one team puts the foot off the gas and we didn't want to, and not because we don't respect bournemouth, it's the opposite, we just wanted to have a 100% satisfying experience

for us that we can use from and going from here. crystal palace went 2—0 up at manchester city but it couldn't last. erling haarland, the premier league's marquee summer signing, lit up the game with a hat—trick as city won a—2 to go top, for a few hours at least. commentator: haarland on a hat-trick! _ never in doubt! arsenal began the day as leaders and gabriel ensured they would end it the same as the gunners came from 1—0 down to beat fulham 2—1. brighton themselves spent a few minutes on the peak. their 1—0 win over leeds, their third victory in four games, and pascal gross has been involved in all their league goals this campaign. manchester united needed to prove that monday's defeat of liverpool wasn'tjust a flash in the pan. bruno fernandez scored the only goal of the afternoon at a stubborn southampton, as united ground out another three points. raheem sterling scored his first goals for chelsea as they disposed of leicester 2—1 at stamford bridge.

the foxes look fragile — in the relegation zone, three defeats and a draw to their name. and if liverpool have recovered from a false start, everton are stuck in the blocks, letting slip the lead to draw 1—1 with brentford. a first league win remains elusive. jim lumsden, bbc news. rangers looked inspired by their progress to the champions league group stage as they beat ross county a—0 to go top of the scottish premiership. antonio colak, who scored the crucial goal in their qualifying win over psv eindhoven, was on the scoresheet again with a strike in each half at ibrox. it puts rangers a point above celtic having played a game more. the champions will return to the top of the table if they win at dundee united this lunch time. elsewhere there were wins for aberdeen, kilmarnock and st mirren. england's cricketers have levelled the test series against south africa at 1—1. the captain ben stokes was player of the match and described their victory

by an innings and 85 runs as "amazing". they now head to the oval for the deciding test a week on thursday. our sports correspondentjoe wilson was at old trafford. just three days at old trafford, but for england they were almost perfect. james anderson defeated south africa's captain like that, and the course seemed set. but rassie van der dussen batted defiantly with an injured finger, and between lunch and tea no wickets fell. now, this was a challenge. when england were overwhelmed in the first test match of this series, ben stokes said, "don't worry, we'll just win the next two matches." but to make this victory happen, stokes needed stokes. he got rid of van der dussen in a momentum—changing spell of bowling. watch the next delivery. that was keegan peterson finally gone, after hours of resistance.

then the game was open, the stumps were waiting — forjames anderson again. 0h, he's bowled him! it finished in a rush — three wickets in the south african second innings for anderson, and fourfor the recalled ollie robinson. england's bowlers emphatically completed the win set up by friday's batting when...ben stokes had made 100. it's, you know, a real sort of confidence boost and, you know, i think the way in that we applied ourselves at both bat, bowl, and in the field, it was an incredible team performance and it sets up the series really nicely — obviously all to play for in the last game at the oval. yeah, third test next month. a team of players, but they're sure hard to stop when they're led in everything by their captain. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. the belgian grand prix gets underway this afternoon with carlos sainz on pole, but the action at the back of the grid could be more exciting. championship leader max verstappen was more than half a second quicker than the spaniard in qualifying at spa. but he and title rival

charles leclerc have been demoted for using too many engine parts. they'll start from 15th and 16th. it's a long track, but not that many laps, of course, because of that. and there are only a few overtaking possibilities. so you have to do it quick and try not to lose too much time to the guys ahead of you, you know? and...yeah, we'll see. ihope... i'm targeting a podium, and with a bit of luck we can fight for the win. rory mcilroy put himself well in contention at the tour championship in atlanta before storms rolled in to suspend play. mcilroy still has two holes of his third round to play. before the rain came the highlight was an eagle at the sixth — set up with this fantastic approach shot. mcilroy is 15 under overall — four shots behind the leader, america's scottie scheffler rafa nadal says he's sad that novak djokovic won't be

competing at the us open. djokovic is unvaccinated so isn't allowed into the united states for the tournament which starts tomorrow — so another missed opportunity for djokoic to equal nadal�*s 22 grand slams. this, very sad news. it's always a shame when the best players of the world are not able to to play a tournament because of injuries or because of different reasons. and, in this case, not having one of the best players of the history in the draw of a grand slam is always an important miss. that's all the sport for now. hello, there. for most of you, the rest of the day looking dry with spells of sunshine. there are just a few exceptions to that story. now, for northern ireland, west scotland, that's where the thickest cloud is — a few patches of light rain possible here — and you could be very unlucky

and catch a light shower for north wales, northern england. but the emphasis still is on a largely dry weather picture today, with temperatures widely reaching the low 20s. it will feel warm with the august sunshine with us. now, overnight tonight, there's the threat of a little more rain developing across parts of northwest england, north wales and maybe northern ireland, as well. still, for many, it's a dry night with clear spells, and temperatures down to about ten to 1a degrees — similar to recent nights. tomorrow, bank holiday — northern ireland, england and wales. it is again looking largely dry, although there could be an odd patch of rain still left over across northwest england. a few showers for north scotland. we'll have these stronger northerly winds affecting the east coast of scotland and england, bringing some cooler air across eastern areas. the highest temperatures towards southern wales. that's your weather.
