this is bbc news with the latest headlines. mourners pay their respects to the last soviet leader, mikhail gorbachev, who is now being buried in moscow. moscow blames maintenance problems for failing to resume the main pipeline that transports gas from russia to europe after a three day closure. it is going to be harder to fill up gas storage, it is going to raise the risks of energy shortages this winter, and it really sharpens the dilemma for european politicians as they plan for what could be a very difficult situation over the next few months. more than half of manufacturers in the uk say they may have to cut production or close down completely because of rocketing energy bills. a £2 cap on bus fares across england for three months from january is announced by ministers in the hope it will help people cope

with the rising cost of living. it will help with millions ofjourneys through the toughest months, the winter when we know things are going to be tough, and i think it will help attract people to the bus, particularly at a time when costs are so high. ready for lift—off...again. nasa prepares to make a second attempt later to launch its most powerful rocket to the moon — five days after technical problems scuppered the first. these are live pictures from cape canaveral ahead of take off, which is hoped to be in the next four to six hours. good afternoon. the funeral is taking place of mikhail gorbachev, the last president of the soviet union, who helped bring the cold war to a peaceful end.

he died on tuesday at the age of 91. russian president vladimir putin is not attending due to what he described as constraints on his schedule. our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. it was the final farewell to the man who changed the world. in the columned hall of moscow's house of unions, mikhail gorbachev lay in state, a steady stream of mourners filing past his open casket. there was a guard of honour, but the last leader of the soviet union had not been honoured with a full state funeral. a sign that today's kremlin has little interest in guarding mr gorbachev�*s legacy. many russians blame gorbachev for the fall of the ussr, the collapse of their superpower. and yet out on the streets muscovites were queueing up to pay their respects.

gorbachev had given many here their first taste of freedom and democracy. in today's russia, both of those things are under attack. there are people who came to gorbachev to thank him, to say, "thank you, mr gorbachev. you gave us a chance, and we lost this chance." the end of an era. we hear that phrase so often, don't we? its meaning has almost been diluted. but the death of mikhail gorbachev really does mark the end of an extraordinary era in history, a rare period when russia was opening up to the world, when people here were being given freedoms and when east and west pledged to live together, in peace. mikhail gorbachev had played the key role in ending the cold war, working with america to slash nuclear arsenals.

but under vladimir putin the east west confrontation is back. president putin did not attend the funeral today. "he was too busy," said the kremlin. and there were few foreign dignitaries. hungary's leader, viktor orban, the only western leader here — a sign of russia's international isolation. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. i've been speaking to 21—year—old anya yeshina about how young russians feel about the death of the former soviet leader. i think most of the young people haven't left their life during those times and we can only learn from our history lessons or from the talks with our family. but in russian schools, most of the things are talked about either in a positive way, either in just facts, no admitting something bad

was happening to our country, it is always great, but i think right now with different resources and different news channels that we have access to from different countries, now we see clearly the difference of what he did. because he brought to our country democracy and did reforms and brought... ..yeah, freedom of speech, andjust freedom, and, like, ..erm...value to human life. he ended the cold war, ended the war in afghanistan, so it is clearly we can see right now we lost it, we see a huge rollback, and yeah. and, anya, as you say, russians your age or younger have no experience of what life was like under the soviet union. and, in terms of what you were made aware of about it in your youth, what sort of image of

mikhail gorbachev was created in what you learned at school before you went on to, as you say, learn more about it by researching online? yeah, as i said, in schools, it doesn't matter what actually sometimes happened in russia. all of the leaders and the presidents or, like, someone who was leading the country, it is always, like, everything that happened, it was still for the good and it is painted in the way that russia is perfect. so, i think he was still, even in school, there was, like, nothing bad said about it, but i think if i talk to the older generation like my grandparents, you can actually see a little bit of different view of him.

and it is more anger towards him because for some people, the soviet union was the great period of their life, and it has been taken away. orfor some people, they blame him for, like, some struggles that they went through during this time, which i think, yeah, the younger generation thinks differently in this way, yeah. russia's main pipeline transporting gas to europe through germany will now not reopen as planned on saturday. russian state energy firm gazprom said it had found an oil leak in a turbine on nord stream 1, meaning it would be closed indefinitely. the pipeline has been shut down for the past three days for what gazprom described as maintenance work. the news is likely to put further pressure on gas prices —

amid fears that families across europe will not be able to afford the cost of heating this winter. will kennedy, executive editor for energy at bloomberg, says the closure could see an uptick in gas prices when the markets reopen on monday. i think there is a lot of scepticism about the reasons they have kept this pipeline closed. they are saying this oil leak means the turbine is not safe, but interestingly, siemens, the european energy company that typically services pipelines and turbines says there is no reason why this issue would force them not to operate the pipeline. other turbines they could use on the pipeline, and in fact, if they needed to, there are other pipelines they could use so i think people in europe are very sceptical about this reason and they see gamesmanship and political motive here to keep this pipeline shut. prices had reached record levels about ten days ago once the three—day maintenance period or nord stream had been announced. it had been that until as late as yesterday evening, people expected the pipeline to come up back after maintenance and that had given the market a certain amount of confidence and we'd seen some of the heat come

out of those prices. the other thing going on is there has been a lot of discussions in europe in the european commission about measures they can take to cap power prices and, again, traders are responding to that. but now that russia has decided the pipeline won't be opened, it is possible that we could see another uptick in prices when the gas and power markets open on monday morning. there has been good news. germany and europe have set targets to fill the storage caverns they have with gas and they were outperforming those targets recently, but i think it's worth saying, and especially now when even at reduced levels we will not have had nord stream gas, that full storage will not last all winter at the normal rate of gas consumption. it's the flow that matters as well as the stockpiles and it will help in the first few months of winter but the danger is, as we get to the second half of the winter, and those stockpiles are being run down, especially if it is cold, with no gas or little gas coming

from russia, it's going to be very hard for europe to meet all of its demand. the long—term picture here is that europe will have learn to do without russian gas. after the events of this year, it will no longer want or be able to rely on russian gas supply and will have to go elsewhere. the problem is how do you get through this winter and subsequent winters while we make that adjustment in replacing gas supplies with supplies perhaps in the us and other thought sources of energy like wind power? what has happened here is that russia is looking for ways to maximise its leverage in the short—term while we still have that dependency. britain's new prime minister will be announced on monday and easing the cost of living crisis will be top of the agenda at downing street. the crisis threatens places like care homes as well business and it's projected to affect 60% of manufacturers in the uk. there are fears many may have to close altogether. mike padgham chairs the independent care group, which represents social care

providers in north yorkshire. it has a very significant effect because it comes at a difficult time when we have hopefully got through the worst of the pandemic, the social care sector is already on its knees and this is the latest blow and that is what it is particularly challenging. energy is one thing but extra staffing cost is another that is going through the roof. so care homes may have to close. and that would have a serious effect, if it were any business, but particularly when it comes to older residents who may be vulnerable, that is a huge amount of disruption, isn't it, that impact? yes, and i sympathise with all businesses out there suffering, and also households suffering, but if you take a care home, which is the person's own home, if the home cannot

continue, that doesn't have to move a time of life when they least need it, so it is a very serious issue. whoever takes up office next week, i want this at the top of the list. if we don't sort this, it affects millions of people. and of course social care has been a subject that has been discussed and talked about and it has been a long time of discussion, hasn't it, as to what needs to be done? but what would you like to see done? as you say, when we have our new prime minister announced early next week, what exactly would you like to see them do to help the situation? well, you are right, it has been talked about so much. i think we need to get action now, and it is notjust this conservative government, it is the previous labour governments, and the coalition, they have not tackled social care properly. at a time when money is short, they have got to fund social care better than they have in the past.

i know it is tought to do at the minute but if we do spend in the short term, in the long term it says the country money. i want them to be bold like nye bevan was 31948 and get a national care service togehter, that is one action that would make a name for themselves if they could do this and sort the problem out once and for all. finally, on a more positive note, i suppose, the roll—out of the autumn boosterjabs and care home residents are among the first to be invited to get those, how much of a difference does that make to care homes, care home owners like yourself, when it comes to looking ahead to looking at what that winter may bring? yes, it is a bit of good news in an otherwise very difficult scenario but we are very pleased to get the boosters starting from monday because as you know, lots of people in care homes, they have suffered because of covid, we need to get those boosters in arms quickly, we cannot thank the people enough for discovering the vaccine. hopefully, even though figures are going down at the minute, i believe the experts are saying they might creep up again

this winter so we have got to be cautious and i am glad it is coming and i thank the government for that. the us space agency, nasa, will attempt once again in the coming hours to launch its most powerful ever rocket. technical problems hampered plans to get the artemis i mission off earth on monday. engineers have spent the week reviewing their data. our science correspondent, jonathan amos is at the kennedy space center. jonathan, you set the conditions were looking promising, weather—wise? were looking promising, weather-wise? . , ., weather-wise? weather-wise, we are re weather-wise? weather-wise, we are pretty good. — weather-wise? weather-wise, we are pretty good. luxmy. _ weather-wise? weather-wise, we are pretty good. luxmy. we _ weather-wise? weather-wise, we are pretty good, luxmy, we are _ weather-wise? weather-wise, we are pretty good, luxmy, we are having i pretty good, luxmy, we are having one or two issues trying to fill this rocket with all of the propellants it needs so they have put 2.7 million litres of liquid hydrogen and oxygen in it to provide the thrust for burning the liquid for the engines. they have got the oxygen end but they are struggling to get the hydrogen end because they

the headlines on bbc news... mourners pay their respects to the last soviet leader, mikhail gorbachev, who is now being buried in moscow. moscow blames maintenance problems for failing to resume the main pipeline that transports gas from russia to europe after a three day closure. more than half of manufacturers in the uk say they may have to cut production or close down completely because of rocketing energy bills. it does seem as if the tennis icon, serena williams, has played herfinal match. the 23—time grand slam singles champion was beaten by ayla tomljanovic in the third round of the us open.

williams continued to battle throughout and saved five match points in the third set but the australian came through to win 7—5, 6—7, 6—1. arthur ashe stadium had roared for serena throughout the match and they rose to salute her on the court where she won her first major title in 1999. the a0 year old, who has changed the way the sport is played, was understandably emotional afterwards. thank you, daddy, i know you are watching. thanks, mum, oh, my god. ijust thank i just thank everyone that is ijust thank everyone that is here, that has been on my side so many years, decades, oh, my gosh, literally decades. but it all started with my parents, and they deserve everything, so i am really grateful for them.

plenty of goals in the old firm in the scottish premiership where celtic beat rangers 4—0. leil abada scored twice to put celtic 3—nil up before half time. the win takes ange postecoglou's side five points clear at the top of the table — with a goal difference of plus 2a already — helped along byjon mclaughlin gifted david turnbull a fourth. a draw against austria this afternoon will be enough for england to qualify for the 2023 women's world cup in australia and new zealand. it'll be the first match for sarina weigman's side since winning the women's european championship just over a month ago. in the euros, it went so well, all the things that i hoped for, together with the staff, just worked

really well, and that is just an incredible feeling. and actually i am still sometimes thinking what happened? but ijust enjoy the moment. in the last few minutes — max verstappen has secured pole position for tomorrow's dutch grand prix for the second year in a row. championship leader verstappen delighted fans at his home track by beating ferrari's charles leclerc byjust two hundredths of a second, the smallest margin of the season. britain's lewis hamilton will start fourth ahead of sergio perez who crashed his red bull on the final corner. the hundred is reaching its climax over at lord's with defending champions in the women's oval invincibles going up against southern brave. life pictures here from lord's. it is not longer been going on but 33 runs for southern brave. they have lost it —— a wicket in the last minute or so, lost it —— a wicket in the last minute orso, it lost it —— a wicket in the last minute or so, it was danny wyatt thatis minute or so, it was danny wyatt that is the bats person out, they

are currently 33 runs for one wicket. the men's finals follows with trent rockets against manchester originals. watch on bbc two or over on the bbc iplayer. busy afternoon, that is all the sport for now. the transport secretary, grant shapps, has announced a £2 cap on bus fares across england. the move could save people around 30% on the average fare. the government is providing up to £60 million to subsidise the scheme. mr shapps said ministers hoped it would help people cope with the rising cost of living. we are announcing £2 maximum cap on bus fares. buses are the most used form of public transport, this will help with millions ofjourneys through the winter months when we know things will be tough. and i think it will help attract people to the bus, particularly at a time when fuel costs are so high. that is what we are doing, very simple, £2 cap on a bus fares through the winter. you are proposing this forjanuary to march,

when you initially suggested it the proposal was supposed to run for 12 months, why has it been reduced to just a quarter of that? two things we wanted to do, first of all, test whether it works, in other words, is it bringing people back to the bus, how do people respond and we will get a lot of informational data by running it through those winter months. and then, secondly, there is a change in our pram and then, secondly, there is a change in our prime minister and then, secondly, there is a change in our prime minister and a step back to take place, i think it's right to not time their hands into the next financial but this is a measure helping people in the shorter term and the next prime minister can decide what to do with it from there. mairead smyth is in huddersfield for us. the price cap comes in soonerfor
