this is bbc news. i'm luxmy gopal and these are the headlines... (00v)moscow blames maintenance problems for failing to resume moscow blames maintenance problems for failing to resume the main pipeline that transports gas from russia to europe after a three day closure. (sot) it is going to be harder to fill up gas storage, it will raise the risks of storage this winter and it makes a dilemma for politicians as they... more than half of manufacturers in the uk say they may have to cut production or close down completely because of rocketing energy bills. nasa are expcted to call off off their second attempt to launch its most powerful rocket, artemis i 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 three to five hours. mourners have paid their respects to the last soviet leader, mikhail gorbachev, who was buried in moscow, this afternoon. 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. a to me, it is a no—brainer. there is no point taking the car and then paying for parking fees and everything. it is costing me £15, normally, for a trip, for a day ride for myself and then a day ride for my children. it is extortionate. this will help with millions ofjourneys through the toughest months of 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 fuel costs are so high.

russia's main pipeline transporting gas to europe through germany will now not reopen as planned. 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 on them 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 bit but extra staffing cost is another that is going through the roof. so, i do fear that many businesses in social care, either by their care homes or people that

care for people in their own homes, will close. and, of course, 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, then that person has to move and at a time of life when that is what they least need so it is a very serious issue. so i want whoever takes up office on tuesday next week, i want them to put this close at the top of their list because if we don't sort social care out, the nhs suffers, and that 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, mike? 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 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. some breaking news, nasa has made a no—go recommendation when planning that lift off later to that known later today. that lift off later to that known latertoday. let's that lift off later to that known later today. let's get the latest from our science correspondent at

the kennedy space center, jonathan. thanks, luxmy, ithink the kennedy space center, jonathan. thanks, luxmy, i think we are facing disappointment today, they have had a leak on the rocket, a hydrogen leak, and i tried all sorts of fixes but it looks as though they cannot find a solution and the recommendation has gone to the launch director here at kennedys that should be a scrap for the day. she hasn't formally confirmed that, she wants a bit more time to think about it, obviously to talk to her experts, to talk to her team, but we are thinking that we will confirmation very shortly, and that would be the second scrub inside a week. maybe we might be able to have another go on monday or tuesday, it is a possibility. i've got with me here a nasa astronaut. it is the thrusting —— frustrating day, isn't it? it thrusting -- frustrating day, isn't it? , ., thrusting -- frustrating day, isn't it? ., ,, , it? it is part of the process. this is a test flight _ it? it is part of the process. this is a test flight and _ it? it is part of the process. this is a test flight and we _ it? it is part of the process. this is a test flight and we have - it? it is part of the process. this is a test flight and we have a - it? it is part of the process. this is a test flight and we have a lot j is a test flight and we have a lot to learn. —

the impact could be on the europe, economically?— economically? well, it is a serious development _ economically? well, it is a serious development in _ economically? well, it is a serious development in the _ economically? well, it is a serious development in the sense - economically? well, it is a serious development in the sense that - economically? well, it is a serious - development in the sense that europe is still quite dependent on gases —— russian gas. it is not a surprise, the flow of gas through nord stream one has been curtailed over the last couple of months and even last time there was a maintenance period, you know you also have discussion about a turbine that wasn't delivered on time so that also led to a longer maintenance period and this is what we are seeing again, an oil leak. clearly, russia is using this as a political tool, they know that europe is on the hook here went russian gas flows are diminished, so in a way, it is serious because it exacerbates the energy shock but it is not news, i think european politicians and certainly european analysts have been expecting this that russian gas would be severely curtailed or even halted altogether. if, as you say, it is not much of a

surprise, what are some of the measures in place to sort of minimise any impact of that? the aood minimise any impact of that? the good news _ minimise any impact of that? the good news is _ minimise any impact of that? tw;e: good news is that even minimise any impact of that? tw9: good news is that even before minimise any impact of that? ti9 good news is that even before this shutdown that we are now seeing, aleksei whether flow will come back at some point, but let's assume it won't, inventory is in europe are already back to where they are supposed to be, in fact, in the entries are a little bit higher than we would have expected just a month ago so that is good news. the tough reality is that the only way that you can get out of this and mitigate this is that you have to save energy so europe is already now trying to save energy in order to have a little bit more in winter, and, you know, there are substitutes, lng, other sources of gas, but you can't substitute the entire source of cash from russia so the prices will go up and there will be perhaps some measures of rationing, but again it is a little bit difficult to tell

because it depends on the winter and the severity of the winter which nobody can predict, of course. than? nobody can predict, of course. any --rosect nobody can predict, of course. any prospect of — nobody can predict, of course. any prospect of rationing will obviously be a cause for alarm, ring alarm bells, what is the effect is likely to be, if we look specifically at the uk? the uk, even before the war, only minimal energy supplies in the uk were sourced from russia. however, that doesn't mean we are shielded from the effects either, does it? :, �* , , shielded from the effects either, doesit? :, �*, , , , does it? no, the uk's big problem is that normally _ does it? no, the uk's big problem is that normally in _ does it? no, the uk's big problem is that normally in winter _ does it? no, the uk's big problem is that normally in winter the _ does it? no, the uk's big problem is that normally in winter the uk - that normally in winter the uk import gas from the continent due to low domestic storage and as you can imagine that will be very difficult this year, at least at the same rate, because they will be hoarding of gas in europe. basically, your�*s gas market this year will be a little bit like the hunger games, everyone will want as much gas as possible to make sure they can avoid rationing. the eu will try to mitigate that, they will be

co—operation but the uk will find it difficult, ithink, to co—operation but the uk will find it difficult, i think, to input as much gas as it normally does during winter, which means that even though the direct dependent on russian gas is a small, 5%, they will be a follow—on effect from the fact that russian, sorry, gas supplies in europe are going to be very scarce this year. it europe are going to be very scarce this ear. . , europe are going to be very scarce this ear. , , ., ., :, , this year. it is very alarming to be talkin: this year. it is very alarming to be talking about _ this year. it is very alarming to be talking about it _ this year. it is very alarming to be talking about it being _ this year. it is very alarming to be talking about it being like - this year. it is very alarming to be talking about it being like the - talking about it being like the hunger games here in the uk, is it a bit alarmist? how realistic is your forecast, your prediction? because, of course, we don't want to worry people unnecessarily. is it really going to be as dire, do you think, as you are suggesting?— going to be as dire, do you think, as you are suggesting? again, it is very difficult _ as you are suggesting? again, it is very difficult to _ as you are suggesting? again, it is very difficult to tell _ as you are suggesting? again, it is very difficult to tell because - as you are suggesting? again, it is very difficult to tell because in - as you are suggesting? again, it is very difficult to tell because in a i very difficult to tell because in a milder winter, very difficult to tell because in a milderwinter, everything very difficult to tell because in a milder winter, everything is fine. what i try to convey is this idea that gas will be a scarce resource this year in europe and the uk and therefore they will be a lot of

competition for it so even though the gas might be there, prices will go the gas might be there, prices will 9° up. the gas might be there, prices will go up, and that in itself is a form of rationing. companies and consumers, price goes up to a certain level, people might not be able to buy and that in itself is going to be a constraint on consumption. but it is very difficult to tell because we don't know how severe the winter is going to be. the supply situation is also difficult to predict. at this point, we are probably assuming it is going to be quite bad, it could be better, but there is no doubt there is a squeeze coming because we all know we are going to need the gas overwinter, but there is going to be much less of it than normal. potentially. thank you so much, i really appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks for your analysis. sport now, let's get for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre.

serena williams says she's gratefulfor the moment after playing what is expected to be the final singles match of her career. the 23—time grand slam singles champion was beaten by ayla tomljanovic in the third round of the us open. williams battled throughout the match and saved five match points in the third set but the australian came through to win 7—5, 6—7, 6—1. the supporters in arthur ashe stadium cheered for serena throughout the match and in the end they rose to salute her on the court where she won her first major title in 1999. the ao—year—old reflected on her influence on the game at the press conference afterwards. i feel like i really ifeel like i really brought something or bring something to tennis, the different look, the fist pumps, like, the crazy intensity. i think that, you know, that is obviously the passion i think is a

really good word, yeah, just continuing through ups and downs. i could go on and and on but i am honestly so grateful that... that i had this moment, that i am serena. everton and liverpool drew 0—0 in the opening premier league match of the day. the merseyside derby brought an outstanding performance from everton's goalkeeper jorden pickford, as joe lynskey reports. this was merseyside at full volume for the derby in the home side have a local in the heart of their team. tom davies grew up down the road where he would have dreamt of shots like this going in. liverpool's front line still a work in process. they have added nunes who came back close to the opener. in fact, they struck the post again in succession and replays showed the first shot

brought this from jordan pickford. the everton and england keeper can have days where he is inspired, this was one of them. everton sensed a chance. in their six game, they chased the first win of the season and thought this was the moment. conor cody used to play for liverpool, it would have been remarkable, but for the ar. in the end, it stayed 0—0 because of pickford who once again in stoppage time got a touch on the post. this event derby brought no goals but in the goodison noise, one man was inspired. busy afternoon in the premier league. six more games. when brentford are up six more games. when brentford are up against leeds united.

plenty of goals in the old firm in the scottish premiership where celtic beat rangers a—nil. leil abada scored twice to put celtic 3—0 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. max verstappen has secured pole position for tomorrow's dutch grand prix for the second year in a row — but it was close. 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 at lord's with defending champions in the women's tournament,

the oval invincibles going up against southern brave. it's a repeat of last year's inauguralfinal which was won by the invincibles. brave won the toss and chose to bat, but it hasn't gone well, brave finishing their innings on 101 for 7, losing four wickets in the space of 12 balls. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. some breaking news to bring you. i am sorry to say that nasa's artemis known locket launch has been scrapped, we have had confirmation of that, it was due to happen this afternoon, and they have just confirmed that will not be going ahead. it was the second attempt to launch the artemis moon rocket. let's get more on this development that has come through in the last few minutes from our science editor

rebecca morelle who is at the kennedy space center for us. yes, we havejust heard kennedy space center for us. yes, we have just heard the flight director of this mission has said it is time to scrub. they have been plagued with problems since fuelling began with a rocket a few hours ago, theissue began with a rocket a few hours ago, the issue was a hydrogen leak. the rocket is filled with super cold hydrogen and oxygen and the problem was they just couldn't stop hydrogen and oxygen and the problem was theyjust couldn't stop it leaking out and that is an issue. they tried, they tried again, they tried a third time to troubleshoot the problem but they could not find a workaround for this. the issue is they only have a two hour window to launch, it starts a little bit later on during today but there wasn't enough time to catch up and so it is a no—go. this rocket standing here looking oh so ready to go up isn't going anywhere today. bitterly disappointing for all the teams involved, is there any indication of when and if a third attempt will be happening?

well, the rocket only has a certain launch windows when it can go up and it is not able to launch tomorrow because basically the earth and the men are in the wrong place. monday is possible, it has a two hour launch window then and also tuesday, there is a much shorter at launch window they could try. the issue is, i mean, this is the second time they have tried to get the rocket up, thatis have tried to get the rocket up, that is not uncommon, to get setbacks and delays, but they need to find out doesn't need a big fix? do they need to do major repair work? if so, the rocket might have to go back into the engineering workshop. if it is something simpler that can be done on the launch pad, perhaps they will give it a go in the next few days but it has go back into the engineering workshop, that could mean a delay of weeks. we're still waiting to see what happens next. i imagine the team here want to pour through the data to find out exact what exact what happened. what

is interesting is the lead to problems they have encountered here are quite different from the problems they encountered a few days ago with a first attempt that was scrubbed. i think the team here really need to look at the data and assess properly what has gone on before they can make a decision as to how to move forward. obviously, it is disappointing news for everyone here today, everyone was hoping it would be second time lucky, but once again, this is new technology, the rocket has thousands of moving parts so in some ways it is not a surprise that a few things are going wrong in the attempt to try and get this thing off the ground. thank you, rebecca, for bringing us the latest. our science editor rebecca morelle letting us know about the rocket launch that has been scrapped. the funeral has taken 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 did not attend 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. prince charles and the duchess of cornwall have joined thousands of spectators at the highland games this afternoon, an annual celebration of scottish sports. it was announced yesterday that the queen would miss the event, which she attends most years. it is understood that the decision was taken for the comfort of the queen, who has been suffering from mobility problems. the braemar gathering is a popular highland games event which attracts crowds from across the globe who watch competitors take part in the caber toss, hammer throw, and tug—o—war. now, time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello there. wettest across western parts of the uk today, there are some met office weather warnings out there for the rain,

for example into northern ireland and parts of scotland, so do have a look at those online. as we get on into this evening and tonight, some of the heaviest rain across western parts will begin to ease, before pepping up again later in the night. an area of rainfall pushing further north through scotland, the showers that are developed into parts of england will begin to fade away, quite a warm night out there. we start tomorrow with heavy rain, windy conditions in northern ireland, that will push away as it starts to brighten up, we will see some further pulses of rain pushing north through scotland, persistently wet through parts of eastern scotland. as for wales, the western side of england, some showery rain occasionally, too, just starting to push a little bit further in towards parts of the midlands and across northern england, whereas the eastern side of england, much of east anglia, for example, stays dry with warm, sunny spells. just looking at sunday evening, the rain pepped up again towards south wales and south—west england, and once again with the stronger breeze. low pressure close by, throughout the week ahead, further rain or showers around. hello, this is bbc news.

i'm luxmy gopal and these are the headlines. 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 will raise the risks of storage this winter and it makes a dilemma for politicians. they have to 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. nasa has called off their second attempt to launch its most powerful rocket, artemis one to the moon, five days after technical problems scuppered the first. these are live pictures from cape canaveral. mourners have paid their respects to the last soviet leader, mikhail gorbachev, who was buried in moscow, this afternoon.
