in the country's history. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are baroness ros altmann, former pensions minister in david cameron's conservative government, and the broadcaster penny smith. hi there. lovely to see you. the daily mirror leads with cctv footage of a gunman fleeing after the fatal shooting of olivia pratt—korbel. merseyside police say the shooter used two guns in the attack that

killed the nine—year—old. the daily mail suggests a leading qc, lord pinnock, will say the way mps are conducting an inquiry into borisjohnson and partygate, risks damaging democracy. the prime minister is being investigated by the commons privileges committee, over whether he misled parliament over gatherings in number ten during lockdown. the guardian says two out of three police forces in england and wales are experiencing rising gun crime, according to the home office. job vacancies in the health service make the front of the independent — with a warning from bosses that one in tenjobs remain unfilled. staying with healthcare, the telegraph says most gps saw their earnings rise to an average of 142,000 pounds a year during the pandemic, according to nhs figures. it's energy on the front of the times, which says nadhim zahawi has drawn up plans for a multibillion—pound package of tax cuts, to help businesses facing bankruptcy because of rising costs. the ft leads with russia threatening to shut off oil supples to countries who sign up to plans to cap prices. the proposal to impose a cap on russian oil is backed by the us and other g7 countries.

bill turnbull is on the front of the metro — with tributes paid to the former bbc breakfast presenter, who has died at the age of 66. let's have a closer look at some of those stories. penny, let me begin with you. the daily mail is running the story about lord pinnock and borisjohnson being forced out of parliament altogether. being forced out of parliament altogether-— being forced out of parliament altoaether. , , , . altogether. this is him saying that the whole thing _ altogether. this is him saying that the whole thing could _ actually risk endangering democracy. what it is is about this deliberately or knowingly misleading the house about what went on at those parties. the thing is the commons privileges committee is now threatening to punish borisjohnson if he inadvertently misled

parliament. i think that's actually what they're saying because they're taking into account his intentions when he said that no laws were broken with these gatherings during lockdown. he's saying that is the problem because it's kind of changing the terms of reference, as it were. this part of me kind of goes, well, the thing is this is actually happening. it's going ahead. they are going to look into the whole thing, and borisjohnson did accept a fine. i know they're also pointing out this was tweeted by the person who was leading this inquiry. they also said herself on twitter, the prime minister's decision to accept the fine meant he had misled mps. there are no questions about whether or not she could be impartial. you just hope at the end, we will find out what on

earth has actually gone on, and i do hope that it won't be about... sort of woolly terms like the intention to mislead rather than deliberately or knowingly misleading. what to mislead rather than deliberately or knowingly misleading.— to mislead rather than deliberately or knowingly misleading. what do you make of this — or knowingly misleading. what do you make of this front _ or knowingly misleading. what do you make of this front page, _ or knowingly misleading. what do you make of this front page, roz? - or knowingly misleading. what do you make of this front page, roz? i - make of this front page, roz? i think what we're seeing here is reports — think what we're seeing here is reports from elite documents. it's being _ reports from elite documents. it's being published tomorrow. but lord pinnock_ being published tomorrow. but lord pinnock challenged the government in court over— pinnock challenged the government in court over the brexit decisions, and certainly. _ court over the brexit decisions, and certainly. he — court over the brexit decisions, and certainly, he hasn't been the government's favourite lawyer, but he is _ government's favourite lawyer, but he is now _ government's favourite lawyer, but he is now warning harriet hartman as penny— he is now warning harriet hartman as penny rightly says, there was a change — penny rightly says, there was a change of— penny rightly says, there was a change of reference in this inquiry

that she _ change of reference in this inquiry that she may actually be engaging in something that would not be helpful for the _ something that would not be helpful for the future of our parliamentary democracy — for the future of our parliamentary democracy. obviously, many people have called — democracy. obviously, many people have called this a witchhunt. i think— have called this a witchhunt. i think we — have called this a witchhunt. i think we have to remember that when the inquiry— think we have to remember that when the inquiry started, borisjohnson was still— the inquiry started, borisjohnson was still prime minister. he hadn't yet stood — was still prime minister. he hadn't yet stood down, so the situation now is very— yet stood down, so the situation now is very different and there is less urgency— is very different and there is less urgency or— is very different and there is less urgency or need, perhaps, to look in such depth— urgency or need, perhaps, to look in such depth and try to understand whether— such depth and try to understand whether this was deliberate or whether— whether this was deliberate or whether it was inadvertent, but it is important that prime ministers and all— is important that prime ministers and all other ministers no that it is not _ and all other ministers no that it is not acceptable to mislead parliament even if it's convenient for you _ parliament even if it's convenient for you to — parliament even if it's convenient for you to try to make up a story. this— for you to try to make up a story. this nrust— for you to try to make up a story. this must not happen. that's part of the way— this must not happen. that's part of the way our— this must not happen. that's part of the way our parliament works. people have to _ the way our parliament works. people have to he _ the way our parliament works. people

have to be able to trust what ministers, high ministers tell them in parliament. ministers, high ministers tell them in parliament-— ministers, high ministers tell them in parliament. except that the point is he's saying _ in parliament. except that the point is he's saying ministers _ in parliament. except that the point is he's saying ministers must - in parliament. except that the point is he's saying ministers must be - is he's saying ministers must be able to say what they want, even if they accidentally give the wrong answer. they have to be able to say what they think, so that they can't suddenly be found in contempt. that's why he's saying about the fact that this could be endangering democracy. people have to totally think before they speak and actually, 100% be accurate. somebody else is saying ministers regularly make unintentional errors of. timer;r make unintentional errors of. they do and they _ make unintentional errors of. they do and they have _ make unintentional errors of. they do and they have to _ make unintentional errors of. they do and they have to correct them afterwards, and what he's saying is they would — afterwards, and what he's saying is they would be frightened to say anything just in case.— there's a lot of politics going on here because we've

seen criticism from borisjohnson's allies about this whole probe. but that one's going to keep running, and it's obviously important because the prime minister could lose his parliamentary seat altogether if that committee does fund against him. we will be following that story, but let's move onto something more immediate. the i and the energy firm crunch. this is again another leaked letter, penny. lats firm crunch. this is again another leaked letter, penny.— firm crunch. this is again another leaked letter, penny. lots of leaks auoin on leaked letter, penny. lots of leaks going on here- _ leaked letter, penny. lots of leaks going on here. so, _ leaked letter, penny. lots of leaks going on here. so, this _ leaked letter, penny. lots of leaks going on here. so, this is - leaked letter, penny. lots of leaks going on here. so, this is about. leaked letter, penny. lots of leaks| going on here. so, this is about the energy firms that could cost tens of billions for taxpayers. the early addition when ros and i were talking about this, we realised we were going to say exactly the same thing.

£50- £100 billion going to say exactly the same thing. £50— £100 billion over deficit funding for suppliers. the generators themselves are forecast to make £170 billion in excess profits in two years. go figure. i mean, the point is they are making so much money and yet they're saying they're having to... of course they have to pass on the extra costs for gas and electricity, but at the same time, they're making so much money. these excess profits are being made because of the supplies of demand and supply. there's much more of a demand from europe because of the gas from and how much they relied on russia. —— gazprom. isuppose gas from and how much they relied on russia. —— gazprom. i suppose it's like an auction. but at the end of

the day, generators are making a whopping great profit. there should be some way of actually sorting that out. which ros came up with earlier. one other thing, starmer is... labour party might be asking narrowly more popular. well, of course we _ narrowly more popular. well, of course we don't _ narrowly more popular. well, of course we don't have _ narrowly more popular. well, of course we don't have a - narrowly more popular. well, of course we don't have a new - narrowly more popular. well, of. course we don't have a new prime minister— course we don't have a new prime minister yet, course we don't have a new prime ministeryet, but course we don't have a new prime minister yet, but certainly in terms of energy. — minister yet, but certainly in terms of energy, the problem is that this market— of energy, the problem is that this market is— of energy, the problem is that this market is broken. what i believe the government should do is control the price of— government should do is control the price of energy that is paid by households and businesses rather than allowing the current pricing structure — than allowing the current pricing structure to keep going. the current structure _ structure to keep going. the current structure determines the energy cost of the _ structure determines the energy cost of the last— structure determines the energy cost of the last unit purchased by those people selling energy. the energy

drawing out plans for tax cuts. he's not necessarily likely to be chancellor after monday or tuesday. know, although there is a suggestion if there was liz truss, he would still operate at some capacity in her cabinet. yes, he has drawn up plans to help business, is the headline. he's urging people not to panic about the cost of living crisis. i would just ask him, has he actually spoken to anybody? it's all the conversations i have at the moment, how on earth anybody is going to keep warm. so, yes, they're saying up to 1.7 million households could stop their direct debit in october when this latest rise comes in at half of them have been inspired by this don't pay campaign. they're trying to... a number of newspapers have suggested there is a

aubameyang scored 13 goals in 2a appearances for the catalan club, afterjoining them from arsenal injanuary. he had a buyout clause of 100 million euros in his contract, but has only played eight minutes for them so far this season. a deal for aubameyang means chelsea chairman todd boehly will have spent almost £250 million, in his first transfer window since buying the club from roman abramovich. liverpool have announced the signing of arthur melo on loan until the end of this season. the 26—year—old brazil international made 31 appearances forjuventus last season, but hasn't played for them during the present campaign. he joined the italian club from barcelona in 2020. manchester united have signed brazilian winger antony from ajax for an initialfee £82 million. the deal is the fourth most expensive signing in premier league history. the 22—year—old has signed a contract until 2027, with the option of an additional year. leicester city have signed vout fas from french club reims. the defender has joined on a five—year contract

for an undisclosed fee, with the move subject to international clearance. earlier, football reporter simon stone explained leicester's activity this window. we don't know a lot about him. he's 2a years of age, but leicester have ended up in a weird situation the summer. usually, they sell one of their star players quite early on in the window, then use that money to reinvest in the squad. that didn't happen this time. we've ended up with wesley going to chelsea for a lot of money this week, but really, brendan rogers is only giving a small portion of that money to spend on his squad. they're in a far weaker position than you would expect them to be at this point in the transfer window. you'll be able to catch up with all the latest news from transfer deadline day with a special episode of the football news show on bbc iplayer tonight. well, plenty of activity off the pitch tonight, but there has been one game in the premier league —

and what a turnaround it seems at manchester united. they beat leicester at the king power this evening, whose fortunes appear quite the opposite, with the club bottom of the table. joe lynskey reports. as the total spend went up and up, there was also a match tonight. manchester united's new sites had mixed results and mixed reviews. christiana ronaldo set to stay. now from the bench again, he watched them faced leicester. united chased a third win in a row and looked to the man who lost their season. the man who launched their season. jadon sancho onside and he scores! since then, united has been fluid. it's the kind of recovery leicester are desperate for. they've not won all season bottom of the league. it tookjames madison's kick to work david de gea. united still have renaldo as an

option. this time, they didn't need a second. leicester's best chance fell to their fullback. it's the kind of what they're getting. but the home fans have little sympathy. leicester have just one point from five games and modern football moves quickly. no day says that like the deadline. joe lynskey, bbc news. the football association is reviewing an incident where a newcastle staff member appeared to throw an object towards the liverpool technical area during the reds' 2—1win on wednesday. players and staff from both teams clashed after fabio carvalho's 98th—minute winner at anfield. it's unclear if the incident sparked the melee in front of the dugouts. newcastle declined to comment when contacted by bbc sport. the second round of the women's champions league has been drawn, with two british teams in action at the end of the month. arsenal will face ajax over two legs, while scottish side rangers will play benfica. you can see full details of the draw on the bbc sport website.

cameron norrie is into the third round of the us open after straightforward victory win overjoao sousa. seventh seed norrie won in straight sets — 6—4, 6—4, 7—6 — to equal his best ever run at flushing meadows. norrie will face denmark's holger rune for a chance to make the second week of the championships. four british men are now through to the third round of the us open for the first time in the open era. dan evans is also through to the third round. he was in fine form against australia's james duckworth, finishing off with a flourish, as he triumphed in four sets tojoin norrie — andy murray and jack draper in the third round. centre tatyana heard makes herfirst england appearance in three years in an experimental side for saturday's world cup warm—up against the united states. five players from the starting 15 that beat france to a six nations grand slam remain. claudia macdonald, who thought her career had been ended by a neck injury in 2021, starts on the wing. cath o'donnell also returns from injury to fight

for a place in the second row. england's emily scarrat admitted that the selection process is always tough. selections are never a nice kind of period of time, but as i say, they're an innovative ability, so everyone's trying to put their best foot forward. but yeah, you just hope that everybody's able to go and show what they're about and hoping the coaches will make that decision. next year's world indoor athletics championships have been postponed for a third time due to the covid situation in china. the event in nanjing had been rescheduled from 2020 and 2021 to a new date of next march, but it's now been pushed back until 2025. and that is all the sport from us for now. hello there. summer 2022 was certainly

a memorable one, wasn't it? and as we bring summer to a close, these are some of the standout headlines — england'sjoint warmest summer on record, and the driest year so far for the uk since 1976. now, there is actually some rain in the forecast as we go through friday and towards the weekend. the weather is set to change. we've got this weather front here gathering pace into the northwest, and this weather front�*s been bringing some showers. now, those showers may well linger for parts of england and wales — fairly isolated, but nevertheless, they'll still be there. the best of the sunshine, north wales, northern england and eastern scotland. showery outbreaks of rain gather into the far north west of scotland and northern ireland. here, temperatures perhaps at around 18 celsius the high — but it will be another hot and humid afternoon for central and eastern england, with temperatures into the high 20s. all change as we move into the weekend — for some, there will be some thundery showers around or longer spells of rain, and it will turn increasingly windy for all. as an area of low pressure anchors

itself out to the west, spiralling around that low in an anti—clockwise direction is a series of weather fronts that'll bring some rain, some of it fairly persistent, through northern ireland and southwest scotland throughout the weekend — and that could have an impact. it will certainly have an impact on the feel of the weather. elsewhere, sunny spells and scattered showers. not a bad day to the far north of scotland, highs of 19 here — but in the sunshine, in east anglia, if you dodge those showers, you should see highs of 2a celsius. more wet weather in a similar position coming up through southwest to england, wales, and then, sitting across northern ireland and southwest scotland. showers elsewhere — if you dodge those showers, you still keep those blustery winds, but it will still feel quite warm in the sunshine for parts of england and wales, as temperatures still likely to peak at highs of 25 celsius — disappointing under the cloud and the rain. the low pressure is not set to move very far very fast at all — into the early half of next week,

it anchors itself down to the southwest. the wind direction still coming from the south, still relatively mild, but still, we could see some showers and those showers could be heavy and quite widespread for the early half of next week.
