tonight at ten... with the uk about to get a new prime minister, the front runner for downing street says she has a plan to tackle, the energy crisis. liz truss would unveil her proposals in the next few days as millions face sky—rocketing bills. within one week, i will make sure there is an announcement on how we are going to deal with the issue of energy bills and of long—term supply to put this country on the right footing for winter. her rivalfor the keys to number 10 describes himself as the underdog, and says he recognises the magnitude of the battle ahead. we're facing a genuine emergency. i think anyone pretending that that isn't the situation isn't being straight with the country,
10:01 pm
and by the way, across europe. after a long summer of campaigning, tomorrow_ after a long summer of campaigning, tomorrow lunchtime, the result, and on tuesday. — tomorrow lunchtime, the result, and on tuesday, a new prime minister. also tonight.... in liverpool three men are held in connection with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. we're with the pakistan military in a race to save lives after weeks of devastaing floods. max verstappen wins the dutch grand prix! and the local boy extends his lead at the top of formula 1 with a home victory in the dutch grand prix. good evening. the new leader of the conservative party and next prime minister of the united kingdom will be announced tomorrow. the front runner, liz truss, has promised to reveal plans on how
10:02 pm
she'll tackle soaring energy costs within a week, if as many predict, she wins. her rival, rishi sunak, says he'd target further financial help to the poorest. both candidates are well aware of the enormous challenges facing the country, especially on the economy, and we'll be taking a closer look at the scale of the economic crisis. but first let's go live to downing street, and our political editor, chris mason. good evening to you, clive. barring a moment in westminster tomorrow that would leave everyjaw on the tarmac, liz truss will become the new leader of the conservative party, and on tuesday she will become prime minister. within days, perhaps this week, she will unveil what she has described to me is a big intervention to help with energy bills. let me give you a sense of its scale. it is likely to run into the tens of billions of pounds, perhaps as much as £100 billion, and to give that a context, that is more
10:03 pm
than was spent on the furlough scheme during the pandemic. behind millions of doors right now, anxiety about spiraling bills. and behind this door by tuesday afternoon, a new prime minister. is it in the bag now? liz truss is all but certain to replace borisjohnson, and is promising a big intervention within days to help. i understand that people are struggling with eye—watering energy bills, and there are predictions of even worse down the track. and so the only question that matters — what will she do? if i'm elected as prime minister, i will act immediately on bills and on energy supply, because i think those two things go hand—in—hand. we need to deal with the immediate problem. we need to help people. we need to help businesses. but we also need to sort out the supply issues that have ended up...
10:04 pm
made us end up being where we are now. liz truss also explained today the rationale at the heart of her approach to tax and the economy. in short, her desire to cut taxes. cutting national insurance, as she has promised, benefits better—paid people more than poorer—paid ones. inevitably, when you cut taxes, you tend to benefit people who are more likely to pay tax. of course, there are some people who don't pay tax at all. but to look at everything through the lens of redistribution i believe is wrong. because what i'm about is about growing the economy, and growing the economy benefits everybody. so far, the economic debate for the past 20 years has been dominated by discussions about distribution. and what's happened is we have had relatively low growth. the immediate focus, though, is energy bills.
10:05 pm
labour say they would freeze them over the winter, and point out... the two leadership candidates, liz truss, you've just heard from, cannot give a specific answer to the one question, frankly, that everybody wants an answer to, which is, what the heck going to happen to my bills? still smiling while walking towards defeat, this was rishi sunak this morning. it's all over now, isn't it? last week, he sounded conciliatory towards his rival. take a listen to his tone of concession today. if you don't win this time, would you ever run again? oh, gosh. we just finished this campaign, laura. so i say i need to recover from this one. but i look forward to supporting a conservative government in whatever... so that's a yes. you're not ruling it out. no, gosh, no, no. i think that myjob now is tojust support conservative government. how much others will be willing to support the government may depend on the extent to which they feel the new prime minister gets the reality of life for many. people in leeds told us what they're hoping for. costs need to come down, and the government need to take
10:06 pm
action and help support people. i want them to think about working—class people. because we work hard, and we can't afford lots of things. everything's going up, - so everyone's feeling the pinch. it's a struggle when you've got children because you feel- like you can't do the fun things you used to be able to do. - yeah, it's a difficult one. i wouldn't want to be a politician trying to figure all this out, because where's the money come from? i guess they're gonna have to pull it from somewhere else, aren't they? and yes, this is some distance from an easy time to take office. the dilemmas and difficulties of government will begin the moment the new prime minister walks through that door. chris mason, bbc news. it'll be around lunchtime tomorrow afternoon when we'll find out who the next prime minister will be, once declared the winner of the conservative party leadership race. we're expecting the result, at 12.30. the queen will then formally appoint
10:07 pm
the new prime minister on tuesday, at balmoral, with an address to the nation expected in the afternoon. after hastily making cabinet appointments, the new prime minster will then appear at prime minister's questions on wednesday. both candidates have said they'll prioritise action on the rising cost of living. and as we've heard, liz truss says she'll make announcements, within the week and there'll be further measures announced on the economy within the month. 0ur economics editor faisal islam is here, with details of the scale of the task ahead, for the next prime minister. thank you, clive. this is the economic reality facing the new prime minister, inflation at 10%, and it could even go up to 15%. in the general economy, that is already falling, and heading for a 1990s style recession, according to the bank of england. the core of it all,
10:08 pm
energy prices, with international markets having gone up incredibly, and tomorrow prices might shoot up again, reflecting the impact of russia's decision to keep a key pipeline to europe shut. what does that mean in context? this shows an average household's inflation—adjusted bill over the last few decades, and just look at that. the keyjudgment, how much of that. the keyjudgment, how much of that can households actually afford to pay? and all of that is set against already rising government debts. indeed, some signs this week that markets are already seeing extra risks in the uk, with rates for government to borrow having shut up for government to borrow having shut up over the past month. it's not just that. the value of the pound has fallen noticeably too, down close to 6% against the us dollar and over 3% versus the euro since the start of august. so most of these charts are materially worse now than at the start of the leadership campaign. and the fundamental question here of how
10:09 pm
much of this bill payers can really shoulder means that some form is on the government or energy companies. so what can the next leader do? we are expecting some sort of significant effort to help people with bills using help from public money or a system of repayment on bills over several years. as yet there is no detail. germany hasjust announced a £56 billion package. if liz truss wins, she says she will help people keep more of their money by cutting taxes within a month, for example reversing this year's ryzih national insurance. she acknowledges this policy will help the richest most and cost many billions, and she also plans to cancel a tax rise on corporate profits. they will have to decide what to prioritise right now, emergency help or more general tax cuts. it is, to sum up, a troubling time with a big set of decisions needing to be made within days that will very quickly impact every
10:10 pm
household in the country. faisal islam, many thanks, our economics editor there. let's return to our political editor chris mason at downing street tonight. how would you sum up how the leadership race has actually unfolded over the last few weeks? it has actually unfolded over the last few weeks?— has actually unfolded over the last few weeks? ., , ., ., ., few weeks? it has gone on a while, and if ou few weeks? it has gone on a while, and if you occasionally _ few weeks? it has gone on a while, and if you occasionally tilted - few weeks? it has gone on a while, and if you occasionally tilted your i and if you occasionally tilted your ears towards it during these long, hot summer weeks, you will have heard that kind of background hubbub of debate. but in essence, looking at it now, there was only one moment that really mattered, and it was the moment when liz truss decided that she would move from saying she wasn't in favour of what she described as hand—outs in a newspaper interview, and instead started saying in clearer and clearer terms, and we still await the exact detail of it, that there will be this big intervention that i was talking about a couple of minutes ago. why the change? that bit is obvious, because the absence of a big intervention would have bankrupted lots of companies and bankrupted lots of companies and bankrupted confidence. in so doing,
10:11 pm
the economy would have been in grave trouble, and so would the new government, so liz truss has felt compelled to act, assuming she becomes prime minister on tuesday. we expect to hear the details, or at least some of them, a couple of days later probably. find least some of them, a couple of days later probably-— later probably. and what are you heafina later probably. and what are you hearing about — later probably. and what are you hearing about what _ later probably. and what are you hearing about what kind - later probably. and what are you hearing about what kind of- later probably. and what are you | hearing about what kind of shape later probably. and what are you i hearing about what kind of shape of government and political thinking we could be seeing? we government and political thinking we could be seeing?— could be seeing? we got a sense of it i think today _ could be seeing? we got a sense of it i think today with _ could be seeing? we got a sense of it | think today with that _ could be seeing? we got a sense of it i think today with that focus - could be seeing? we got a sense of it i think today with that focus and l it i think today with that focus and that rationale around tax, about trying to turbo—charge the economy. we are also getting a sense she is one of the leading figures in a liz truss government will be. we can expect the chancellor to be kwasi kwarteng, the home secretary to be suella braverman, you remember she was a candidate early on in the leadership race, and the foreign secretary to be james cleverly. lots of other names are also on the government ministerial board, occasionally they get juggled government ministerial board, occasionally they getjuggled around when someone refuses a position, and the whole thing has to be re—orientated. the in tray for the
10:12 pm
new prime minister is colossal. war in europe, trying to deal with aspects of the brexit process in northern ireland for instance, the huge economic questions, and winter just around the corner for the nhs. things, though, i'm going to change. tonally, the politics of the national conversation will feel different. why? because boris johnson is the very definition of a performance primary colours prime minister, and he is leaving number 10, although who knows how much we might hearfrom him after 10, although who knows how much we might hear from him after that. 10, although who knows how much we might hearfrom him after that. so he will be gone, but the new prime minister will inheritjust he will be gone, but the new prime minister will inherit just the he will be gone, but the new prime minister will inheritjust the same in tray. minister will inherit “ust the same in tra . , minister will inherit “ust the same intra. , ., in tray. chris mason, our political editor, in tray. chris mason, our political editor. live _ in tray. chris mason, our political editor, live at _ in tray. chris mason, our political editor, live at downing _ in tray. chris mason, our political editor, live at downing street, i editor, live at downing street, thank you. and you can watch that announcement live tomorrow. there's a special programme — our new prime minister, that's at 12 o'clock, presented by my colleague huw edwards on bbc one and the bbc iplayer. police investigating the murder of nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel have arrested three men following the fatal shooting in liverpool almost two weeks ago. let's talk to our
10:13 pm
correspondentjudith moritz. judith, what can you tell us? on thursda judith, what can you tell us? q�*i thursday evening, merseyside judith, what can you tell us? 01 thursday evening, merseyside police issued an appeal to people living in this community to help them find 0livia's killer. they asked people to consider their loyalty, saying they believed it is highly likely that others were helping to shield the identity of the gunman, maybe even to help him dispose of or hide the two guns he used in the attack. in the early hours of this morning, a little over 48 hours later, there were raids in the runcorn area, about 11 miles or so away from here, and two men were arrested, and then this afternoon came news of a third arrest. of the three people who are being held, one man, aged 34, has been arrested on suspicion of 0livia's murder and the attempted murder of her mum who tried to stop
10:14 pm
the gunman as he burst into the house. the other two men are being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. all three men are from the greater liverpool area, all of them now in custody being questioned by detectives. merseyside police by the way have said all the way through this that it is a highly complicated investigation, and that is why they say they need the help of the local community to build a strong and evidential picture as possible to ensure that those who are responsible for this can be brought tojustice. responsible for this can be brought to “ustice. , ., ~ responsible for this can be brought to 'ustice., ., ,, , ., let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories. almost 1,000 people were brought to kent yesterday by border force and lifeboat crews after trying to cross the channel. the french authorities say they returned close to 200 migrants and asylum seekers to france. so far, more than 25,000 have made the crossing in small boats this year. police in ireland are questioning

10:16 pm
than 30 million people. balochistan is one of the most affected areas with many districts still out of reach as roads and bridges are swept away. the bbc�*s farhatjaved has been given access to one rescue mission there by pakistan's army. shocked, shattered and starving. the fight for survival gets harder. abbas and his cousin have just been rescued from a village that has been cut off for days. translation: the rains destroyed everything. i then all my equipment was washed away by the flood. my house was razed to the ground. i still have the key of my shop. i don't have the courage to throw it away. it was my bread and butter. this is the province of baluchistan. almost half the country's total land, and the least developed. fields, usually used as farmland, now completely submerged in water. and people run after aid, even if it means putting their lives in danger.
10:17 pm
what we are seeing here is complete destruction. everything these people owned is destroyed. every bit of their land, every piece of their belongings is gone with the water. a military helicopters carry out daily rescue operations in this remote area, but there are not enough of them to reach every part of this vast province. at a relief camp in dera murad jamali district, families get basic aid. but the emotional toll of this disaster is clear. translation: the water was this high. _ my husband and i picked up our children, but the water was flowing very strongly. we tried really hard to keep holding on to our children's hands. they kept slipping. my husband held my hand and kept telling me to stay strong, to keep walking and not to be scared. and the fear now is that time is running out for some of those
10:18 pm

10:19 pm
defending world champion max verstappen has won a dramatic dutch grand prix to extend his lead in this year's formula one title race to over 100 points. lewis hamilton's hopes of victory evaporated due to tyre selection issues and a safety car, while george russell finished in second place. joe lynskey reports. this is how f1 looks in the netherlands. you can measure the mood by the orange. 100,000 fans in to see one man, their dutch champion, max verstappen. in his home race, he was on pole. it's lights out and away we go. but this would be strategic. lewis hamilton started fourth, but the right tyres and fewer pit stops took the briton towards the lead. he hadn't won all season, but his chance got complicated. 0h, we've got another car stopping. a retirement brought the safety car, a restart and just behind hamilton, was the dutchman. and verstappen�*s ahead. it took verstappen one turn to retake the lead. when it mattered, mercedes had got it wrong.
10:20 pm
hamilton went from the front, back to fourth and put it down to his tyres. i can't believe it, guys. this win puts verstappen so far at the top, it meant so much to do it here. joe lynskey, bbc news. at tennis's us open, the defending champion and world number one daniil medvedev will face the wimbledon runner—up nick kyrgios in the fourth round shortly, while the 2021 wimbledon runner—up matteo berrettini, who knocked andy murray out of the tournament, is now through to the quarterfinals after a five—set victory over spain's alejandro davidovich fokina. today's opening stage of the tour of britain has been won by corbin strong of new zealand in tricky conditions. great britain's tom pidcock finished in fifth place. the 181—kilometre stage race took place from aberdeen to the cairngorms with tomorrow's second stage also in scotland.

10:22 pm
that continues to work its way north and east, some clearer skies, probably not reaching the far north of scotland. 0nce probably not reaching the far north of scotland. once again it is another muggy and warm night, temperatures not much lower than 15 or16 temperatures not much lower than 15 or 16 celsius. here is our rain through tomorrow morning, clearing north eastwards across scotland, and behind it some spells of sunshine. i'm sure you can pick out some of those showers, they will become heavy and thundery, some hit and miss, but they stuck to become more frequent through the afternoon, particularly across south—west england and into wales, a few pushing their way eastwards and a good deal of sunshine across northern ireland and much of england. quite breezy for these irish sea coasts, and the rain likely to linger. the shower start to push their way northwards across the uk, bringing rain in places that could be heavy and thundery. it is all tied in with this area of low pressure which we are going to keep through the week, slowly moving its way eastwards across the uk. so for
10:23 pm
tuesday we will start with warm spells of sunshine, but it won't be long before the showers start to get going, and most of us are likely to see some showers through the day, less frequent the further east you are but still warm in the sunshine, 23 or 24 celsius across the western side of the uk. if you are looking for rain, a much greater chance that you will see some across the weekend. temperature starting to come down, too. alina, thank you. that's it, but the news continues here on bbc one because it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. from me and the team, have a very good night. let's get more now on the conservative leadership race. it's been eight weeks since it was triggered — but finally, tomorrow, the new leader of the conservative party and prime minister will be announced. borisjohnson�*s successor will be declared at 12.30pm before taking office on tuesday
