this is bbc news. the headlines at 5:00pm... nasa calls off their second attempt to launch its most powerful rocket, artemis 1 to the moon, five days after technical problems scuppered the first. these are live pictures from cape canaveral. moscow blames maintenance problems forfailing to resume the main pipeline that transports gas from russia to europe after a three day closure. it's going to be harder to fill up. gas storage is going to raise the risks of energy shortages this winter. and it really sharpens dilemma for european politicians as they plan for what could be a very difficult situation over the next few months. ukraine's first lady olena zelenska highlights the importance of the human cost of war in an interview with the bbc.
5:01 pm
when you start counting pennies on your bank account or in your pocket. we do the same and count our casualties. mourners have paid their respects to the last soviet leader, mikhail gorbachev, who was buried in moscow, this afternoon. nasa's second attempt to launch the artemis moon rocket has failed. launch control announced a second scrub on the mission after a liquid hydrogen leak which has started during the fuelling process couldn't be stopped. a brief hydrogen leak was spotted on the original launch date last monday but it was thought the sensors may have been wrong. that first launch attempt was halted after problems with pressure levels in one of the rockets four engines. our science correspondent, jonathan amos is there.
5:02 pm
thank you. a disappointing day to day. the second postponement in a number of days. this time for a slightly different reason. we had a hydrogen leak on this vehicle, there is huge rocket that you see behind me here. they have to fill it with 2.7 million litres of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to provide the fuel, the thrust to get it off earth first up from the word go this morning, as they try to fill the tanks, they pick that this leak. they couldn't fix debts. they are all manner of solutions but nothing worked. eventually, the launch director had no choice but to call a scribe, as they call it. everybody is disappointed, anybody will have to come back, possibly in the next few days. nasa is pleading for patience from everybody, as i discussed with the astronaut. it is a fickle substance.
5:03 pm
and so the fact that we are able to get this much data is really, really helpful. and i think we'll be able to resolve this issue in the future every time we encounter an issue that makes us that much wiser the next time. i mean, i guess you have a personal interest in the sense that you or your friends, your colleagues, will have to climb on top of this rocket in the future. and so you've got to get it right, in essence. yeah, that's exactly right. of course, artemis is an uncrewed mission. that means no astronauts on board. but the very next flight will have four astronauts riding to the moon and back. and so it's very, very critical. it's not a case, is it, that the rocket can just come back tomorrow. there are constraints on the whole recycling process of getting the rocket ready. just explain that to me. that's correct. every time we turn around, it depends on the reason that we scrubbed. and so sometimes that might be just due to weather and then the rockets are ready to go. but we have some consumables, things that get filled and boil off or it takes time to refill those consumables. and so it's usually a couple of days turn around.
5:04 pm
we right now have another attempt on the schedule for monday, but we'll just see what happens when they analyze the data. one of the constraints as the flight determination system. where this rocket to veer off course during the launch they would destroy it. that has an independent battery system thatis has an independent battery system that is only good to the middle of this coming week. unless they get off on monday or tuesday, then they will have to bring it back to the assembly building here i will have to check that battery system i make it good for another launch attempt in a few weeks�* time. i am joined by libbyjackson. she directs in a few weeks�* time. i am joined by libby jackson. she directs the agency does make human space flight. another disappointment.— another disappointment. indeed. as ou said, another disappointment. indeed. as you said. this _ another disappointment. indeed. as you said. this is— another disappointment. indeed. as you said, this is a _ another disappointment. indeed. as you said, this is a test _ another disappointment. indeed. as you said, this is a test flight. - another disappointment. indeed. as you said, this is a test flight. we - you said, this is a test flight. we expect— you said, this is a test flight. we expect these things to go wrong. all the engineers are working hard and

5:08 pm
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. well earlier i spoke to economist claus vistesen about the impact that closing the pipeline would have on the uk and europe. normally in winter, the uk imports gas. as you can imagine, that is going to be very difficult this year, at least at the same rate because that is going to be a hoarding of gas in europe. europe is m as hoarding of gas in europe. europe is my gas market _ hoarding of gas in europe. europe is my gas market is — hoarding of gas in europe. europe is my gas market is going _ hoarding of gas in europe. europe is my gas market is going to _ hoarding of gas in europe. europe is my gas market is going to be - hoarding of gas in europe. europe is my gas market is going to be like i my gas market is going to be like the hunger games, everybody is going to want as much gas as possible to make sure they are not a rationing. the eu will take to mitigate that on the continent and they will be co—operation. the uk will find it
5:09 pm
difficult to impart as much gas as it normally does during winter which means even though they direct dependence on uk on russian gas is a small, 5%, there is going to be a follow—on effect on the fact gas supplies in europe are going to be very scarce. i�*m joined now by energy consultant for the independent energy consulting firm, watt logic, kathryn porter. thank you forjoining us. i don�*t know how much of the previous guest you could hear. that is an economist who was saying really, the impact of this is going to be like the hunger games, it will lead to rationing and make it severe winter for the people. do you share that forecast? i think he is right to say it isn�*t likely we will see pipeline imports from continental europe this winter the way we normally would expect. we will still be able to import gas
5:10 pm
through the pipes that connect with norway and the norway production. also, the gas we get on tankers, the liquefied natural gas that comes in ljy liquefied natural gas that comes in by ship. this gas will be more expensive but we should be able to get the gas that we need. what get the gas that we need. what do ou think get the gas that we need. what do you think the _ get the gas that we need. what do you think the impact _ get the gas that we need. what do you think the impact will _ get the gas that we need. what do you think the impact will be - get the gas that we need. what do you think the impact will be on - get the gas that we need. what do you think the impact will be on the uk and the rest of europe if we can access gas supplies but the price will be higher?— will be higher? britain has these imulse will be higher? britain has these impulse terminal _ will be higher? britain has these impulse terminal so _ will be higher? britain has these impulse terminal so it _ will be higher? britain has these impulse terminal so it has - will be higher? britain has these impulse terminal so it has the i impulse terminal so it has the capability to get this gas. we do have the ability to pay for it. house was struggling a great deal and are anxious about the price cap rising and hopefully the new cabinet is in place we will see more measures announced to support households. the government has the ability to borrow money so we can pay for this gas on the international markets. we are seeing other countries struggling with this, pakistan had a failed gas tender recently and they have had
5:11 pm

5:12 pm
european customers. once that has been played, it won�*t be played again. the technical issue could be resolved quite quickly. the turbine manufacturer has said this leak isn�*t a barrier to the turbine being used. it seems this is a political move rather than a physical and technical one. if the flows were to be restored the price reaction would go back to... we might see prices rising in the next few days or they could go back down to normal, not normal, but the new normal. in terms of the impact on consumers in britain, this is all to do with the way this often calculates the price cap. the prices on the market now will depend injanuary. the period of time avoids these prices are observed is a few months so price changes oh of days and couple of
5:13 pm
weeks don�*t have that big impact. it is going to depend on whether this closure is a permanent closure whether we don�*t see another manipulation and that�*s being reopened in the coming days. flan manipulation and that's being reopened in the coming days. can you exlain wh reopened in the coming days. can you exolain why the _ reopened in the coming days. can you exolain why the uk — reopened in the coming days. can you explain why the uk gas _ reopened in the coming days. can you explain why the uk gas prices - reopened in the coming days. can you explain why the uk gas prices are - explain why the uk gas prices are affected in the way they are, given even before the war, the uk didn�*t rely as much under pressure for its energy supplies as the rest of the continent? that is a question i have seen a lot from people on social media. if you can explain why that affects the uk to the extent it does. ., , ., affects the uk to the extent it does. ., ,., ., , , ., , does. the reason for this is the gas market is global _ does. the reason for this is the gas market is global and _ does. the reason for this is the gas market is global and other- does. the reason for this is the gas market is global and other facts - market is global and other facts that you have pipelines in one particular place or another doesn�*t really define how the prices are a sight because each of those markets has other pipelines and the ability forecast to be moved around the world by ship. it is that, the gas moving by ship, which setting these
5:14 pm
prices where as before we were in a global competition for that gas and there are more people trying to buy it than there are sellers. that makes it more expensive. because of the way the economics of the market works, and this is true for most markets, it is the most expensive form of the supply which sets the whole price and unfortunately that is what we�*re seeing. what whole price and unfortunately that is what we're seeing.— whole price and unfortunately that is what we're seeing. what about the as is what we're seeing. what about the gas reserves — is what we're seeing. what about the gas reserves in _ is what we're seeing. what about the gas reserves in north _ is what we're seeing. what about the gas reserves in north sea? _ is what we're seeing. what about the gas reserves in north sea? they - is what we're seeing. what about the gas reserves in north sea? they can| gas reserves in north sea? they can onl be gas reserves in north sea? they can only be accessed _ gas reserves in north sea? they can only be accessed at _ gas reserves in north sea? they can only be accessed at the _ gas reserves in north sea? they can only be accessed at the speed - gas reserves in north sea? they can only be accessed at the speed theyl only be accessed at the speed they can be accessed. we have seen, for example, neptune energy announced it is going to drill a new well in one of its fields and that well it should be on stream by the end of the year with enough gas to fuel 200,000 homes. that is a positive step and we need to encourage producers to do that as much as they can. it isn�*t going to be possible in all locations and we need to encourage a new field to come on stream and that will all take time.

thanks so much for your time this afternoon. ukraine�*s first lady, olena zelenska has spoken to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg. in an interview recorded in kyiv, mrs zelenska said that the economic impact of the war in ukraine may be tough on its allies , but although britons are having to "count pennies" , ukrainians are "counting casualties". we hear energy is getting pricier, but people should understand that is not coming from the western support to ukraine that the actions of russia. , ., _, to ukraine that the actions of russia. , ., ., russia. there is no comparison to the suffering _ russia. there is no comparison to the suffering of _ russia. there is no comparison to the suffering of people _ russia. there is no comparison to the suffering of people here - russia. there is no comparison to the suffering of people here bet l russia. there is no comparison to | the suffering of people here bet at home in the uk, as you acknowledge, people are facing very painful choices because of the soaring cost of energy that is going to make things very tough for people. what would you say to our viewers

watching at home who feel desperately sorry for what is happening to your people, but also who feel desperately worried about their own ability to pay the bills, to keep a roof over their head? i understand the situation is tough but at the time of the covid—i9 epidemic, when they were price hikes, ukraine is affected as well. the prices are going up in ukraine as well but in addition our people get killed. when you start counting pennies in your bank account or in your pocket, we do the same, and count our casualties. these days, a woman was killed walking in a park in kharkiv. many people were injured. if the support is a strong, this period will be shorter. that was the first — this period will be shorter. that was the first lady _ this period will be shorter. that was the first lady of _ this period will be shorter. that was the first lady of ukraine. you can see the rest of that interview on bbc one tomorrow morning at nine on bbc one tomorrow morning at nine on sunday with modicum spoke.

the headlines on bbc news... nasa calls off their second attempt to launch its most powerful rocket, artemis i to the moon — five days after technical problems scuppered the first. moscow blames maintenance problems forfailing 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 a gas storage, it is going to raise the risks of energy shortages this winter and it will sharpen is the dilemma for european politicians. ukraine�*s first lady olena zelenska highlights the importance of the human cost of war in an interview with the bbc. mourners have paid their respects to the last soviet leader, mikhail gorbachev, who was buried in moscow, this afternoon. sport and we have a full round up
5:18 pm
from the bbc sport centre. it�*s been a busy afternoon in the premier league after a record summer of spending in the transfer market chelsea have beaten west ham 2—1. west ham took the lead against chelsea through a second half antonio goal but chelsea came back to go 2—1 up. west ham thought max cornet had scored an equaliser but the goal was disallowed. tottenham are still unbeaten this season as they had a 2—0 win over fulham. tottenham�*s goals came from pierre—emile hojbjerg and harry kane. it was a nervy last 10 minutes for tottenham though as in—form fulham striker alexander mitrovic scored. but they clung on and are second in the table. the merseyside derby was the earlier game — where it was the tale of two goalkeepers asjordan pickford and alison both produced brilliant performances in the game between everton and liverpool which finished in a goalless draw. in an even match, both sides
5:19 pm
had chances to win it — pickford producing a stunning save to deny new liverpool signing darwen nunez his first goal — luis diaz hit the post moments later. everton did score — but after a var check, conor coady�*s goal was ruled out for offside and liverpool nearly won it right at the end — but pickford�*s fingertips put salah�*s effort onto the post — and the points were shared. busy afternoon in the premier league, brentford had a 5—2 win over leeds united wchihc included an ivan toni hatrick for the lonodon side. newcastle and crystal palace drew 0—0. nottingham forest were 2—0 up at half time but three second half goals have given bournemouth a 3—2 victory. wolves have their first league win of the season — a 1—0 win over southampton. champions manchester city are away at aston villa in the late kick off.
5:20 pm
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 gifting david turnbull a fourth. england need a point against austria in order to qualify for the women�*s world cup next year. and things are looking good at the moment with alessia russo putting the lionesses ahead after 7 minutes. this is the first match for the team since winning the euros injuly. it is the final weekend of the hundred tournament at lord�*s with defending the 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. they�*re chasing a total of 101
5:21 pm
which brave set after winning the toss and chose to bat. at the moment their on course to retain their title averaging better than a run a ball. and 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
5:22 pm
i feel like i really ifeel like i really brought something, bring something to tennis, just a different look, the fist pumps, the crazy intensity. that is the passion, which i think is a good word. discontinuing through ups and downs. i could go on and on but i am so grateful that i had this moment. ads, and on but i am so grateful that i had this moment.— had this moment. a remarkable career. had this moment. a remarkable career- the _ had this moment. a remarkable career. the british _ had this moment. a remarkable career. the british number- had this moment. a remarkablej career. the british number one, had this moment. a remarkable - career. the british number one, the world number nine, is an action in the third round of the us open. cameron norrie has taken the first set 7—5 and he is 3—1 in the second set. we�*ll have updates on that later on. that�*s all the sport for now. the funeral has taken place of mikhail gorbachev, the last president of the soviet union, who helped bring
5:23 pm
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.
5:24 pm
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.
5:25 pm
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. the medical charity, medecins sans frontieres, says a shortage of clean drinking water in pakistan is causing an increase in water—borne diseases in areas hit by the country�*s worst ever floods. 33 million people have been affected by the disaster. officials in dadu district in the southern province of sindh say another quarter of a million people are at risk of more floods, as water levels rose sharply again. the actress jane fonda has revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer and is having chemotherapy.
5:26 pm
the 84—year—old said she had a very treatable form of lymphoma, and would not let the illness interfere with her climate activism. the transport secretary, grant shapps, has announced a two pound cap on bus fares across england. the move could save people around 30 per cent on the average fare. the government is providing up to £60 million to subsidise the scheme. our reporter mairead smyth is in huddersfield for us. that evening. here in huddersfield that change comes into effect before the rest of the country and that is because the mayor has struck that deal with best providers here through the combined authorities. from tomorrow, people here in west yorkshire can enjoy £2 single fares and an all—day pass that cost £4 50. that has been welcomed today. to me, it is a no—brainer. there is no point in taking the car
5:27 pm
and then paying for parking fees and everything, and so, to me, obviously, the cost of living and the fact it is saving money at the end of the day. right now it is costing us really too much so if it is going to cost us £2, not more than £2, that would be really amazing. it is good to come to library to work but it costs, you know, like, more than £4, you know, £4.50 for a day ride, and you know, now we can come every day. i only live five or ten minutes away and it costs me £2.20 to get into town. you could walk it. so, yeah. i think it is a lot better, if i am honest, because having to pay for children that, you know, five years and older, it is costing me £15 normally for a trip, for a day ride for myself and a day ride for my children, and it is extortionate, absolutely extortionate, but it is cheaper than petrol and cheaper than driving, so... the changes come into effect
5:28 pm
tomorrow, the saving greater manchester as well where single fares for adults will cost £2 and £1 for children. nationally, the changes come into effect injanuary, the last 15 months. the government says it is taking that time because they need to get all best providers on board. they have about 90% of bus providers interested in providing this scheme which is going to cost £60 million to subsidise those fares. bus usage is much higher than otherforms of public fares. bus usage is much higher than other forms of public transport. the government hopes this will make a huge difference to many, many people. as the people here in west yorkshire, they can enjoy that from tomorrow. 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

5:30 pm
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 the evening of tonight, some of the heaviest rain across western parts will begin to ease before pepping up again later in the night. area of rainfall pushing further north through scotland. the showers that have 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 into sunday evening, the rainjust peps up again towards south wales and south west england, and once again with a stronger breeze. low pressure close by throughout the week ahead, further rain or showers around.
