10:01 am
since the fbi searched his florida resort for sensitive files. the most vicious, hateful and divisive speech ever delivered by an american president. hello and welcome to bbc news. here in the uk — the foreign secretary, liz truss, who looks likely to become the next prime minister on tuesday, has hinted at how she plans to tackle the cost—of—living crisis. writing in the sunday telegraph, she says she would set out "immediate action" on energy bills, with financial support for households and businesses. her opponent, the former chancellor rishi sunak, says "nothing is off the table" to ease the pressure on households. ben wright reports.
10:02 am
as borisjohnson packs up his premiership, tomorrow we will find out who is moving in. the new prime minister will enter number ten on tuesday, and one issue will dominate their first days in office: soaring energy bills for households and businesses. liz truss is widely expected to win the tory leadership contest, but she hasn't spelt out precisely what she would do to help people pay their energy bills. writing in the sunday telegraph, she promises immediate help, saying... average household energy bills are set to jump to around £3,500 next month, and liz truss says "sticking plasters" won't solve the fundamental problem.
10:03 am
the issue dominated the campaign, which saw liz truss and rishi sunak tear into each other�*s economic plans and the record of the government. the outgoing prime minister says it's time for the tories to unite. in the sunday express, borisjohnson has a message for his successor. but labour's leader, sir keir starmer, said neither rishi sunak or liz truss had grasped the scale of the problems facing the country. by tuesday, we will have a new prime minister, facing formidable challenges — and their response to the energy bills crisis could define their time in office. ben wright, bbc news.
10:04 am
let's get more now from our political correspondent tony bonsignore. we have had both leadership candidates in this building in the last hour talking to the new sunday morning programme. starting with liz truss, the woman of the moment, most people predicting she will be the tory leader by tomorrow lunchtime. has she given us much more detail on what she plans to do? what has she given us much more detail on what she plans to do?— what she plans to do? what we know is liz truss is — what she plans to do? what we know is liz truss is promising _ what she plans to do? what we know is liz truss is promising there - what she plans to do? what we know is liz truss is promising there will. is liz truss is promising there will be immediate action in the first week of her taking office. if as we expect she becomes prime minister that will happen around tuesday lunchtime when she travels to balmoral to see the queen and be invited to form a government. what we have seen today both in this interview with laura kuenssberg and also this article she has written in the sunday telegraph is a shift, all summer, while she has been courting

parliamentary party?— there was inside the conservative parliamentary party? she's got two enormous challenges _ parliamentary party? she's got two enormous challenges linked - parliamentary party? she's got two enormous challenges linked which | enormous challenges linked which will be extraordinarily difficult to navigate. the first is the policy and economic challenge, soaring energy bills like we've never seen before and inflation predicted to go some say in excess of 20%, the nhs in a difficult position. markets concerned. i don't think necessarily people have cottoned on to how the pound are struggling and interest payments going up, all of that is difficult to navigate. and to just plainly, to get us through the winter but at the same time she has a political challenge. a large number of people who voted for her loved the message of no hand—outs, they want to see lower taxes but how do you do that in this economic environment? you've got a bruised and fractured conservative party and and fractured conservative party and a lot of them, frankly, who already regret or think that borisjohnson
10:10 am
was wrong to resign, the party was wrong to get rid of him so she's got those enormous challenges and the scale of that, i think, will become clear even tomorrow afternoon when mps return to westminster.- mps return to westminster. tony, thank you- — ukraine's first lady, 0lena zelenska, has also been speaking to laura kuenssberg. in an interview recorded in kyiv, mrs zelenska said 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". translation: we hear that energy is getting pricier, - that life is getting pricier but people should understand that is not coming through the west support to ukraine but through the actions of russia. there is no comparison to the suffering of people here but at home in the uk, as you acknowledge, people are facing very painful choices because of the soaring cost of energy that's going to make
10:11 am
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, keep a roof over their head? what would you say to them? translation: of course i understand the situation is very tough _ but let me recall at the time of the covid—i9 epidemic, and it's still with us, when there were price hikes. ukraine is affected as well. the prices are going up in ukraine as well. but in addition, our people get killed. so when you start counting pennies for 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, and many people were injured. if support is strong, this period will be shorter.

10:18 am
aires in 2011 and it was credited to the local priest praying to the late pontiff. they will need something else, another miracle, evidence of it for him to finally reach sainthood but beatification ceremony taking place, pope francis has spoken already this morning and the process recognises that despite his very short role as pope he was a figure of quite considerable influence under some controversy. he was keen to reform the vatican bank although he was a defender of traditional positions on things like contraception but he was an admired figure because he was quite a simple figure because he was quite a simple figure in the church and that is not that common at the highest levels. he was a cardinal but had also been patriarch of venice but he was effectively regarded as an amiable figure, quite a gentle soul, rather academic. some people wondered
10:19 am
whether he would actually cope well with the rigours and the controversies in the politics of vatican life but he didn't live long enough to find out. that is the ceremony for the beatification of popejohn ceremony for the beatification of pope john the first two were selected and died in 1978. popejohn the first two were selected and died in 1978. —— pope john the first. a government minister in pakistan has said the floods which are devastating the country amount to the worst climate change disaster of recent times. ahsan iqbal said pakistan doesn't have the resources to deal with the crisis — which has destroyed nearly one and a half million homes and killed more than 1,200. nearly half of the country's crops have been destroyed. donald trump has accused president biden of weaponising the fbi against him — in his first public appearance since agents raided his florida home to recover classified documents. addressing a republican rally in pennsylvania, the former president also rejected
10:20 am
mr biden's claim that he and his maga movement were an extremist threat to american democracy. both leaders have been stepping up their rhetoric ahead of november's mid—term elections. wendy urquhart reports. it was like he'd never left office. back amongst his supporters, donald trump was given a hero's welcome at the republican rally in philadelphia. he came out all guns blazing and he kicked off his speech by branding the us president an enemy of america. he's an enemy of the state. you want to know the truth? the enemy of the state is him and the group that control him, which is circling around him. do this, do that, joe. you're going to do this, joe, right? that dig was in reply to president biden's impassioned speech earlier this week when he called mr trump a threat to democracy. we must be honest with each other and with ourselves.
10:21 am
too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. mr trump also had a few choice words for the fbi and the usjustice department over the raid on his florida home, which he called a shocking abuse of power. the fbi and thejustice department have become vicious monsters controlled by radical left scoundrels, lawyers and the media who tell them what to do, you people right there, and when to do it. so does donald trump have his eye on another turn in the white house? or is he just protecting his legacy? wendy urquhart, bbc news. chileans go to the polls shortly to vote in a historic referendum on a new constitution that would radically reshape the south american country.
10:22 am
the previous constitution was drafted by former dictator augusto pinochet and the new one would instead focus on social rights, the climate and gender equality — polls predict it will be a tight vote. some resident in parts ofjackson, mississippi have told bbc news they aren't being supplied with free bottled water. the water supply has been contaminated by flooding, which damaged a local treatment plant. for the second week in a row the national guard has been distributing bottled water to those in need. 0ur north america correspondent chi chi izundu has been finding out how residents are coping. brown water comes out. it is not normal and it is not drinkable, so what do we do? when i first turned it, it always comes out rust. i would never drink a glass of water. . i do not brush my teeth with the tap water. i
10:23 am
idon't, so, no. come on. thank you for showing us. do you have a flashlight? no, i don't, but i can use my phone. 0k, good. a fire next door has knocked out marshall's gas and electric. he has not had clean running water, though, for eight months. and the hot water came just the same way. brown water. the hot water is brown as well. and you shower in it? yes, ma'am. and you cook with it? i cook with it. and you drink it? and i drink it. this week's water problem has been blamed on flooding damaging the local water treatment plant. some people have no water, others get it discoloured. probably, in the last week, it even got darker. it usually don't be this dark. marshall lives in west jackson, a largely black area which is the poorest part of the city in one of the poorest states of america. 0ld lead—lined pipes, an under—maintained water
10:24 am
treatment plant and years of a lack of funding has resulted in this — the national guard being called to hand out bottles of water. it's like we living back in caveman days, so to speak, you know? but see we are in this century now, so we should be afforded all these things without having to go through what we are going through. and i understand that they are having so many issues with the pipes and so forth like that, so hopefully, they can get all that corrected. some parts of the city now have their water restored but many residents still do not trust it. i have been catching rainwater. since moving to jackson two years ago, serena, a law student, has always been fearful about the quality of the water. and i am fortunate because i have a filter and so, i would never drink a glass of water. i do not brush my teeth with the tap water, i don't do — i wash my clothes in it, but i don't really have another option, so, no.
10:25 am
officials are still asking the people of jackson to boil their water before use. but for residents like marshall, even if he could, that is a band aid because without an overhaul of the whole system, this city will continue to battle for the basic right of clean water. chi chi izundu, bbc news, jackson, mississippi. the third attempt to launch nasa's artemis moon rocket could now take weeks after the american space agency tried and failed again on saturday to get its space launch system vehicle to lift off from florida's kennedy space center. the countdown had to be halted because of a fuel leak — the second postponement in a week. people trying to cross the channel from france to britain were delayed for up to six hours in queues at calais last night. the ferry operators dfds and p&0 apologised for the long waits at the uk border control. p&0 said extra ships were put on for passengers who missed their allocated booking because of the queues.
10:26 am
you can keep up—to—date with all of the news on the website. thank you for your company. hello there. we continue to seebig differences in the weather across the uk through the rest of this weekend. we have low pressure centred to the west of us pushing around it these bans of cloud which have been bringing some bursts of rain. quite a wet start this morning for much of the country. the rain moves northwards, through scotland, coming to rest in the far north of the country and we are left with this zone of cloud stretching across central parts of england, east wales, that could bring heavy showers but either side of that there will be sunshine and a much sunnier and warmer day in northern ireland. after the early rain, temperatures reaching 20 degrees. cooler than yesterday in the north of scotland, the highest temperatures in the east of england, 25 or 26 degrees. that zone of thicker cloud brings some wetter weather this evening across england and wales.
10:27 am
another belt of rain sweeping in behind that and everything on the southerly winds gets pushed northwards. cloud and rain for much of the country overnight and it will be another warm night across southern parts of the uk, temperatures no lower than 16 or 17. heading into the start of the week, we still have that big area of low pressure to the west of the uk, shaping our weather. there may be stronger southerly winds around on monday. we start with rain and it's more likely to be in the far north of england, especially scotland but it will move away north and we get some sunshine and dry weatherfor many places. some sharp showers popping off especially in the south—east and developing in the south—west of england, the west country and into south wales. but the southerly winds could be stronger, especially in the south—west, west wales and through the irish sea but drawing in quite warm air so temperatures 22 in the central belt of scotland, high of 25 or 26 in the south—east.
10:28 am
low pressure continues to dominate through the rest of the week. the centre of the low will drift eastwards across the uk so the winds may start to change direction and drop but it remains very unsettled. there'll be some sunshine at times but we are likely to have lots of showers, the risk of thunderstorms especially around the middle part of the week. gradually temperatures dropping away later on.
10:30 am
the winner of the conservative leadership contest is to be announced tomorrow. the foreign secretary, liz truss, is widely expected to win. ukrainian families close to europe's largest nuclear power plant say they're living in fear — despite the arrival of un monitors. pope francis will today be blessing one of his predecessors popejohn paul the first who sought to defend the church's line on abortion and contraception, but also to reform the vatican. donald trump calls president biden an "enemy of the state" at his first rally since the fbi searched his florida resort for sensitive files. now on bbc news, britain's new hong—kongers. over 100,000 people from hong kong moved to the uk in the past year and more are arriving every day. probably one of the biggest migrations of our generation. they've got a one way ticket to a new life thousands of miles
